after market rear box

[johnono]

i bought one...dont slaughter me please, i know it wont do shite and ill probly need a new one on 3 weeks but i had enough with the one i have on at the moment so it was all i could come up with at short notice

question is, if i want to attatch it from where the existing silencer joins to the mid pipe, what would u recomed is the best way of getting it done

ive got all the facilitys possible , as my mate is a body shop man and i have carte blanche with all his gear

[Davenotouring]

Is it one made for your car? Or a universal one?

What brand?

Is yours a two or three piece system?

I had problems when I bought a backbox for a three piece system, but mine was two piece!

[johnono]

its a, wait for it *shush* universal

the system is a bit of a barsted jod in the sense it has been bastadised from as i can work out , a 2,0 downpipe to mid box, and then a cheeky weld on with a tatty "standard single 1.6 mini bore

i could just as well do the same as him, firegum the pipe in and weld the pipe using an overlapping flange

[Davenotouring]

It's probably gonna be trial and error on that then mate, and it'll be a bit of a bitch!

Hope you can get it sorted!

[johnono]

yeah, its a peice of shat but at least itll be easier on the eyes than what i got

[Davenotouring]

Well that looks to be a reasonable shape, maybe with a bit of bending here and there, you may be able to get the original brackets to fit!

But that is single 'input'? Is your system twin pipe into the backbox? If it is, then it will be more grief.

A decent welder should be able to sort this out for you?

[johnono]

no , thats what i mean, he butchered a twin into a single usint the mid box to convert it

it looks legit enough, so its a 320 downpipe to midbox, and then comes out a single pipe to wimpy 316 rear silencer, and to top it off , at has a really bend to the side, you know that grandad type

anyway, matey at the workshop has all the gear so it shouldnt be a prob to sort, i was just wondering what the best method is

While on the subject of exhausts. I've got a 318iS MTEC2 with the standard exhaust system. So the rear bumber skirt is cut away for twin pipes and it only has a single pipe coming out from the valance.

I want to fit twin pipes and I know I'm gonna have to cut my valance away to get the twin pipes thru. Does anyone know the best way of going about fitting twin pipes to this setup. Where could I get a full sports system from for instance (mines a non cat iS btw) ???

Thanks

[johnono]

depends on how much of it u want to change, and what type of system it is,

open a new thread with the quetion and youԚ´ll defo get a source

Ask Russ because he did this too his 318is with the m-tech kit, he got a little confused at first though!
