backboxes are completely different. i advise not to bother fitting anything that isnt made for a 318is exhaust system, iv tried it before and it always ends in tears!

regarding your heaters, do a search theres plenty of problems with them it seems!

a decent one which wont sound chav and that mite actually gain you something is about 250 quid delivered from the zone shop, see the link

its made by supersprint, bloody good exhaust company

other than that you could get an eisemann made up for the best part of 600 quid?

GSF sell a 318iS rea box for about Ԛ£95,

I have a powerflow box on mine, it's great, no probs... it all depends on who makes them up.
