Hi,

I have a new exhaust backbox for my impreza,

im going to be fitting on the weekend, am just wondering how the centre section and back section join? i know that they are clamped together but is there an olive inbetween the two of them? or does one fit slightly inside the other?

Thanks

 

nope.. they join on 2 gether.. if your doin your down pipe to the centre section THEN it would have 2 fit in slightly inside.. which you aint

 

2 Bolts and a gasket.

 

do these tend to come with aftermarket boxes? the backbox is at home and im at work so cannot check, or can I re-use the old ones?

 

Correct, you may need a new gaskett or exhaust jointing paste.

dependant on how old your car is i would wire brush the assembly, spray the bolts, etc with WD 40, leave for an hour - then tackle the job

 

Its worth having some extra bolts lined up just in case, even after I ground my nuts off and cut the nut/bolt in half they were still married for life, so i used some old nuts and bolts of the right size (ish) until I could source the right ones.

I popped into my local tyre/exhaust place and they swapped my back box over for a 5ver just before they were closing. I had a go myself but the bloody nuts wouldn't shift. Was easier on the proper ramps.

You be careful grinding your nuts off !!!

 

my back box came with both the bolts and a gasket so all its good!

got it all fitted fine didnt have any trouble with the old bolts either.

anyway thanks for the help!

it looks and sounds good! will get some pictures taken over the weekend.
