The two Boysen 3 part system rear boxes from Eurocarparts ?

One is described: Rear box 325i 09/87-12/90 not for cat prepared Ԛ£82.50 and the other is :Exhaust XL S/S to 705110331 Ԛ£115.

Is one better than the other ?

The hopeless gimps at the local ECP have no clue and wont let me see them before I buy :wan:

I want to stick with Boysen as the genuine BMW ones are made by them or so I beleive.

Please help as I need an exhaust system before the weekend !

Cheers,

The dearer one will probably be the boysen one, and the cheaper one will be an alternative quality.
Deffo get the boysen, as they made the standard stuff for BMW anyway, and will last ages, and they sound nice too!

Just guessing but could one be stainless steel and the other not?

Found out from ECP themselves (eventually) the latter one has been superceded by the former one hence S/S.

Problem solved. Not, the former one is no longer available.

No more Boysen 325i 3 part back boxes from ECP :cry:

Looks like a trip to GSF instead, Bugger.
