Default crazy exhaust idea

I've got a new-age PPP back box currently mated to my 2.5" system. Now, I read somewhere (possibly on 22b.com) that in places the PPP back box is only 50mm pipework, and that really, it doesn't flow that well at higher power.

I'm now in a situation where I think the backbox is holding me back powerwise, *but* I really like the look of the PPP backbox and the fact that it looks like a standard subaru/prodrive item (makes the car a little bit like a wolf in sheeps clothing).

Would it be possible to just open up the backbox and rework the pipework in there (i've never opened a backbox, so have no clue what they look like inside) so that it has a "proper" pipework? I know the easy option is just to sell the ppp backbox and get a different one, but if I can avoid it, that would be great

The PPP newage backbox is certainly not 2" unless there's an internal weld intruding somewhere? If you're running a 2.5" system, the backbox is not holding you back.

Ah, just found the post I was on about earlier... 22B Bulletin Board: Prodrive Sports Cat D/P vs 'others'

Turns out I need to learn how to read properly
