R U guys keeping these or are they scrap metal?

Letting my dealer keep mine, what you going to get for them?? if you don`t sell them, will just gather dust.

 

I keepted mine don't no why. But the dealer who did mine has been selling the back boxes for £10 pounds to other scoob owners. I no this because i spoke to a guy with a my97 who had just go one and it was in his boot.

 

Do you know if one of those back boxes would fit a sport wagon? and If so would it make any noticeable difference to the output and exhaust tone (i.e. rumble more)?

Suppose for a tenner it would still look good!

flatfour - I didn't think that an STI8 backbox (or any bugye/blobeye backbox) would fit a classic shape impreza.

I think the MY97 owner may be returning the backbox to the garage soon

IIRC new age BB wont fit classics may be worng of course.

 

i sold my exhaust bits for £160, the back box should fit a classic, i fitted a classic scoobysport backbox onto my sti7 whilst waiting for my ppp, only the centre hanger doesnt line up but it fits fine

The guy who bought it said he had to change one of the brackets to make it fit.

 

CVC recon that a bugeye & up sport will not take my sti back box id like to know for definate as someones interested in mine.

 

I dont know for sure but if you look at some of the tuners websites or probably in the scooobyshop they list the backboxes separately rather than one size fits all. I took that to mean they are slightly different design. This of courses refers to classics and new afe motors. new age to new age no idea sorry.

New age exhaust will most defintely fit classic shape, I know 'cos I've done it.

The only consideration is that the hanger that is forward of the back box does not reach the hanger on the classic. Easily fixed by either :

1. Ignore the fact that is doesn't reach and be happy with all the ones that do.

2. Extend it

To do the latter you obviously need either a welding set or some other imaginative way. I used a welding set as I have access to one and a coded welder to operate it

hel
dont know about the exhaust fitting a bugeye sport, only way is to try it, only takes 10 mins to get the old one off and have a look if it will fit

many thanks all, I will keep mine when the P goes on on the 30th.

Someone will give it a good home.
