Default Finding an STI Genome exhaust

Having just missed out on an STI Genome exhaust locally (grr) I’m trying to track another one down but of course they are rare. Having had limited success on Google I can’t seem to find anywhere with stock or they’re in the US. I’d prefer to see the condition of one first but beggars can’t be choosers, is there anywhere that they can be imported from reliably?

Plan B is a Prodrive back box however I think I’d prefer the Genome if I can find one.

Any help or guidance is much appreciated.

I see RCM are selling folded sti boxes for over £100. They are £20 on here.


Allow £100 for import fees

It's stainless steel. These used to sell for £300 or so 10 years ago so the price isn't unrealistic.

Following up on this I followed the advice and I imported one. It was £260 plus auction fees, plus packaging and postage. For a used part it has a small scuff on it (looks like it’s just caught a slightly large speed bump) but other than that looks excellent, paint work on the logo is really good too. I’d say it’s in better condition than the very small number I’ve seen for sale in the UK in the £450-£500 region.

Overall it’s a great ‘upgrade’, the standard STI back box was very muted but now the car sounds like it should.
