There is a fist sized hole in my Jap STI backbox, will this effect performance, do any damage etc. I'm not sure whether i should replace this as it gives the exhaust a hearty growl.

Thanks in advance.

You didn't leave it anywhere near Barrymores house did you? (allegedly)

Normally when an exhaust bursts it would cause the fuel comsumption to go downhill rapidly.

Bought a brand new Magnex backbox, which i found to have two of the afor mentioned holes.









I believe one is visible just under the bumper, and the other end attaches to an equally sized hole on the mid section.

I'm envious, if I got an extra hole in my exhaust, it'd give me adequate reason and justification for my other half so I could get a better aftermarket alternative....

What replacement would you recommend. The backbox and middle section are all in one.

tomsnuts -

I've recently noticed a hole in my back box on my MY94 STI - although after 139,000KMS I couldn't really complain ! I couldn't decide between

Blitz Nur Spec system ( Pro : Nice and noisy Con : Maybe too NOISY ! )
HKS exhaust systems ( Pro : A bit calmer then Blitz, still nice and throaty Con : Not fully stainless steel, bit pricey ! )
Mongoose system ( Pro : Downpipe included Con : Still slightly more than I wanted to spend ! ).

In the end, I bought a P1 back box, which should be an identical replacement for my STI backbox.
