Default RCM Newage Backbox - what centre section to fit classic

Wife has Type R classic. She has on there a classic downpipe and just recently picked up a genuine RCM backbox. Trouble is finding the correct centre section that will fit this as the RCM is 3" and offset so trying to find something that will fit is the problem.

Anyone on here had similar issues and found a solution. Ideally she does not want to change the downpipe.

RCM back box is this one

I had the same issue, i bought a secondhand RCM team ice backbox not realising i needed the rcm centre section and down pipe. Safe to say i never fitted the backbox and its sat gathering dust. I believe its going to be RCM only or get an exhaust shop to fabricate a flange up for you.

We found the same, seems the only way is to have their kit due to the offset. Shame really as the downpipes is good quality H&S and don't want to go swapping again.

You can get a custom system made that won't cost the earth. Think your talking a few hundred. Not bad for a custom system.
