If it just sound you want pop down your local garage and ask them to cut you cat & back box out and weld a bit of pipe in. That way you will get some sound for the time being, abit less restrictive and will be like sub £50 so you wont be wasting to much monnies

Would this work. It's only £15 with free next day delivery

Just realised that the system from Longlife in Birmingham is a 2" bore! -.- So basically paying £260 to have a smaller bore system in than standard, makes sense lol!

Going to pick a decat pipe up from a member on here tomorrow, then probably do away with the backbox and weld a bit of pipe in there instead and leave the midbox

Sounds like a much better option tbh mate haha!

I actually ended up picking up a DIY pipe welded decat and Hoffman straight through centre section off luke306rallye yesterday for £40

May not be the best option what with the crush bends and everything but for the price I couldn't say no lol :p

I'll post a picture of the current backbox which looks like a midbox with a tip welded on? I'd reuse it if so but like I say I'll get one in the morning

Whats wrong with that? The midbox is a straight through design, so no restriction.

Nothing's wrong that's why I'd reuse it if it is what I think it is

Here's the pic

Easy way to tell would be take it off and hold one end up to your eye, should be able to see right through.

Been quoted £110 by custom pipes in Doncaster to have my decat pipe fitted (more expensive because it goes directly to the turbo and not via a flexi?) and my backbox cutting off and being replaced with a 3.5" welded tip. Midbox staying in place.

Decent price I'd say? Booked in for 9am tomorrow, just so you all know your advice in here hasnt gone to waste Thanks!

To fit a cat?? do it yourself its only 4 bolts,

tools needed: ratchet / extension bar / 10 mm & 13 mm socket

To remove my cat I have a pipe with the cat cut out and a pipe welded in and theres only the 2 bolts on the top of that? The other end is the sleeve fit to the midsection I think

[puglove]

Does it look like this or does it not have the female fitting on the end?

(this is my OE cat with the box cut out)

Thats exactly what mine looks like

I would fit your decat pipe for 10quid. 110 is rediculous.

[rtha6551]

Its also for the backbox removing, some pipe welding in and an exhaust diameter expander/reducer thingy and a tip welding on

pretty steep but its local and they can fit me in sooner rather than later :/

[puglove]

save your self some cash and bosh the cat your self its easy

[rtha6551]

This is the end result

Clicky

Decat and debackbox, no tip welded on yet as theyd run out of the one I want

[rtha6551]

Is it possible to replace the midbox with a cherry bomb?
