Exhaust options - Ben Jay - 08-05-2012
I need a new system as my back box fell off and my middle box is rusty
What have people got in regards to noise and cost?
Was thinking this
and then a back box

to be fair, i think when it comes to any centre section, scaffolding pipe is going to be as good as anything else.
Thats all bend to shape ready to bolt on. I'd suggest going for it and getting a decat and a standard backbox

i think you've found it fairly cheap anyway mate. the effort it would take to weld through a standard box, you'd may as well buy that.

60 pound for a piece of pipe?
If it was me id just get someone to bend you some pipe and get rid of your mid box and back box 
Re: Exhaust options - 4WayDiablo - 08-05-2012
But you need at least 1 box by law
Re: Exhaust options - Ben - 08-05-2012
I was very lazy and bought one of those pipes, and don't recommend it. The welds were appauling and there was a hole in one before it had had any use. It took me a couple of weeks to get a refund, but on the plus side I'm left with the pipe because the courier never turned up!
It really doesn't make an awful lot of difference removing the centre box, but if you wanted to I'd just cut the box out of a standard pipe and weld in a new bit.
Re: Exhaust options - Ben Jay - 09-05-2012
To be honest i just need it for economy so i might just stick a standard set up on it! I just wanted some opinions on what people have done
Re: Exhaust options - silverzx - 09-05-2012
Get the mid box cut out and weld straight pipe in place.
Cut the backbox off and stick the midbox on the back.
Job done, only thing you have to get is a bit of spare/cut off 2" piping from any old exhaust place then pay for the welding.
Or if you don't mind having no box at the rear then just replace the backbox for straight pipe. However I think its better having a box at the back in case you want to ever change it for aesthetics.

Cut out the cat and weld in bit of pipe... cut out backbox and weld in a bit of pipe... easy peasy
Re: Exhaust options - 4WayDiablo - 09-05-2012
get a powerflow Stainless Steel 2.5" turbo back exhaust made up, preferably with a 4" outward rolled tip and smallest backbox going with hardly any baffles
WIN
