Hi guys
I am looking to change my exhaust system, I have purchased a back box and tail pipes.

What do I need to change Upto the manifolds?

From my understanding il need down pipes mid section not too sure about a silencer

Cheers. I have a 2 piece no cat

As I said in your other post, it isn't obvious if the back box you've bought is for a 2 or 3 piece system. If it's for a 2 piece, you will just need to replace what you have like for like (providing your new backbox fits to a standard system).
If it's for a 3 piece, you'll need to buy the 2 other sections you don't already have.

Looking at the link in your other post again, did you buy just the backbox or did you get the connecting pipes as well?
Its possible the backbox is for a 3 piece system but Eisenmann sell the connecting pipes to fit it to a 2 piece centre section.

If you could post up some pics of what you received from Eisenmann, it will be much easier for someone to help you with what you need to get it fitted.

It is compatible and I have bought the connecting pipes too

Will this connect the back box and to the manifolds

So the connecting pipes will bolt straight up to your existing 2 piece centre section?

From the pic in the ECP link, that looks like a middle section for a 3 piece system, so no it won't fit yours.
