New backbox recommendations

[chrislloydie]

My backbox is rapidly falling apart. As a full stainless steel exhaust is a bit out of reach at the moment, I 've been thinking about a stainless steel backbox. There are lots on ebay for around £50 plus postage, that are universal and say they will fit an mgzt.

I was just wondering if they would be suitable for a diesel and how hard they are to fit? Am I corect in thinking the old backbox will have to be cut off? Can a new backbox simply be clamped on or does it need welding?

Anybody gone down this route and can recommend anything?

i generally wouldnt entertain those from ebay as they require welding and you dont know how loud they will be also the quality of stainless steel thats been used.

They are stated as being t304 stainless steel? Is that the best quality?

i believe it is but stating and using are two different things. Mine is from Longlife cost £350 for a cat back system with two boxes in the middle pipe and the rear silencer. good quality and its made custom to your specs, they will do a backbox only for roughly £150 fitted look them up theres bound to be a place near you that does them and they give a lifetime guarantee!!
