Default Can anyone identify this back box?



Been told its a HKS super drager but I cant find any HKS marks on it. The tailpipe is a smidge under 5 inches in diameter.

Cheers muchly!

It's not a Super Drager I can tell you that.

may be a Hiper but the quality looks a bit poor for HKS unless it's just dirty etc.

Its just dirty, the welds are very neat. Its stainless so will polish up a treat. I do know its Japanese as it has a Jasma certification.

It does have a small plaque with HKS stamped on it on the bottom of the b/box,about 30mm x20mm i've read your post saying no markings but is the condition on the underside good as i've reversed over high ground and dented the box and scuffed plaque,if yours is HKS it may have been ripped off as only 2 spot welds hold it on!

Yep, it has a small scrape on the underside, has scratched the jasma plaque as well. I guess thats whats happened then. What is a hiper back box worth as Id like to shift this one.

From memory the Hyper shoulld say Hi Power on the side of the tail pipe too.

Worth little without the centre section, as the hyper is a different length to standard back boxes, and follows a different path.

Early Hipers said nothing on them other than the stamp, and going by the condition it is an early one..

worth about 50quid.
