Default Exhaust advice on sti!!!

Right then this is my problem I bought a second hand Graham Goode exhaust system from someone on here, it's a 3" system with sport cat it's stainless but just wish it was a little louder, the chap I bought the system says it's bespoke, I don't know if this means I can't change the back box!! Hope this makes a bit of sence. Thanks

unless its a weird and wonderful fitment, pretty much all backboxes should be interchangeable.

GGR stuff is usually at the upper end of the market.......not stratospheric like Roger Clark but usually very reasonable.......

if you find a backbox that does match the centre pipe then im sure your backbox will fetch a good price

I once got a garage to cut open the back box and remove the baffle then weld it up again, they charged £10 and the sound was a little louder but not unbearable. Of course this was on a 1.6 Escort and the backbox was a Peco big bore 4.
