I just rang my motorparts store up and i got quoted £104 for a bloody standard exhaust back box for the escort rs turbo. surely it cant be this expensive are there any other standard alternatives that fit? Ive got a stainless b/box at the minute and i hate it

 

why do you hate it?

 

I must be getting older but the noise is too loud even when im driving around normally .

 

Longlife will make you a backbox and you can tell them how loud or quiet you want it cost about £150 though

 

The louder the better!!!

 

what backbox is on it the now?

 

Fuck that. Loud was ok if I wanted to look a twat, which I don't.

I want a car to sound nice, not loud. Then I want it to not give me a head ache after driving it for longer than 30 minutes. I also don't want it to get me thrown off track at a track day for excessing noise (when I eventually get the car sorted for track use).

 

power engineering exhaust is quieter than std if u can find one.

 

thanks for the info people. i will keep a look out on ebay and see if one pops up if not and i get desperate i will probs splash out for a new standard one

 

get a longlife jobby with inlarged backbox and tighter packing to bring the noise down- i have it made a helluva deference, sounds nice on boost but no more headaches and a lifetime stainless gaurantee
