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.

 

need better pics than that

 

Powerflow.

 

TSL back box

 

Mongoose style was rolled out like that, More pictures might help

 

Not sure if that's any help, I've had a good look at can't see any marking or stamps

 

That weld at the centre flange doesn't look very awesome, Maybe even custome made or japspeed quality ?

 

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.

 

Looks abit like mine, but my welds are better and mines powerflow.
