I was stuck in the same position as you....NO ONE supplies a 2 piece system.

Garages just look at the car, look at the book....stratch their heads....look at the car, look at the book and stratch their heads...then say 'it must be an import'

Best bet is to convert it to a 3 piece.

Matt, if you can get a proper 2 piece centre system, and need a 2 piece back box with the proper 2 pipes from centre joint to back box, I have one here you can have FOC.
