Default Help identifying backbox

Name:  IMG_0037.jpg

So, my Hawkeye STi did not come with a standard backbox, no surprises there really - it would have been 10 years old, rusty and lets face it, it's almost the first mod everyone does


I've an H&S backbox in the garage to go on, which I bought on eBay before the car arrived. I don't particularly like loud exhausts, so wanted something nice but burbly and I have fond memories of my Turbo 2000 with the H&S (Scoobysport) box on it.


However I quite like the noise my car already makes. I have a suspicion that the backbox though is a pretty cheap and cheerful stainless one, judging by the rolled edges. It looks like a 4" exit to me, and I haven't got my ruler out to confirm.


So, Scoobynetters, can I have some help identifying the backbox? Any ideas? I'm not averse to crawling underneath for a better look and see if there are any markings but there's nothing obvious around the tail end.


I will be checking all the paperwork the car came with, and will have a crawl underneath but does anyone have any idea or can help? It's just bugging me not knowing what it is


Much appreciated.

Yep I suspect it's a cheap japspeed box. I just wondered if I lucked out and it looks a bit like a TSL box but as they no longer seem to be trading I can't check.

I'm sticking the H&S box on next week to see what it sounds like

I opted for H&S full 3" system sounds lovely, I'm sure it wont disappoint.
