Hi

Its the centre section mate, been looking on various sites and they seem to be a universal fitting for all classic shapes?

Took a piccy but think i got to the bottom of it. I have been looking at various systems and they all seem to have quite a long straight from the silencer flange to the first bend about 14 inches, whereas my backbox is only a couple of inches on this straight, this will explain it. So i am thining there has been some kind of custom system fitted in Japan. Just need to get a backbox now and i should be ok.
Thanks for all your concerns in this short time.
