Default 3" Backbox

Hi Guys, I have a 3" backbox that I bought from a guy on here for my 2002 STI, however it shaped to fit a classic, so Im putting it up here to see if anyone is interested ?

Failing this I will cannibalise it to fit

Thanks,
Rob

There is a little more to it for this against my set up, obvioulsy a lot of exhausts are bespoke fitments, so that you are forced to buy the 'counter part' sections for a perfect fit.

The three hangers on this is almost spot on for my car, in fact I have fitted it and its spot on in situ, but the angle of the piping is ever so slightly out, and as such I would need to heat it up and bending into position, and also twist the flange of the connector 20 degrees to fit my Miltek set up, hence its not really worth it for me that much.

If unsold I will adapt it to fit, but I just cannot be bothered at the moment

hi

this looks like a japspeed backbox, which the bolts holes are rotated as described but the backbox pipe(to the centre section) wasnt long enough to fit. as i had this problem when i wanted to change the back box.

I have a 76mm/3" extension pipe with welded in flanges that I had proffesionally made to extend this piece, so the length is no trouble with this piece (she told me ).

Bump anyone... I'll give it until this weekend, then Im going to get my welding mask on
