I am actually so gutted it didn't have the 3" piping throughout to match my system. I guess if it did it would have been huge! :lol:

Well my suspicions were right. There was no chance in it fitting to a 3rd gen. No sir-rey! There's just not enough head room under there compared to a 4th gen. The standard 3rd gen backbox is a fairly flat oval compared to the 4th gen's massive fore-headed beast. Also the anti-roll bar and lower control arm meant the whole box would have had to be dropped as the inlet is at the top and almost up against them, but then the tail pipe would have been a good 6 to 8" inches lower than the bumper as it's at the bottom. Then the underside of the backbox itself would have only been an inch or two above the ground as well. And You can't simply turn it over to overcome that as the "loop" is then prone to being hit.

So @Vanzep as you've shown the most desire, it's yours for the same money I paid Rob if you still want it? ;-)

I could do with making a profit from it, but I'd feel bad doing that to someone through the forum... Ebay yes! :lol: But I know how much Nick wanted it :)

And yeah I had them trawling through their entire collection and old stock until I was happy lol. I'll take some pictures of it later and post up in my thread ;-) I'm as happy with the look as I would have been with the twin loop and it sounds good too :D
