I have just had jamesvalvers old Back Box fitted up at powerflow, they done a good job of fitting it....
BUT.. there is nearly no sound differnce, is this because of the middle box?
He said it will make a massive differnce
he is going to remove my middle box and weld some stainless piping in there for 35 quid!
Will it really be worth it, will removin the middle box make a diffence in sound?
(sorry for the eassy)

Middle box will make it much louder if removed.

dont remove the middle box, it sounds shit
just save up for a decent aftermarket centre section, dont just go cutting bits out, they are there for a reason, not just to make it quieter
anyway, for 35 quid, you'd be better off putting that towards a remus centre section, which would last longer than a hacked about one.
a backbox alone wont make a car any louder, people get their hopes up about it, but it never makes a difference.

Less back pressure is only advantageous on turbo cars. If your n/a car has no back pressure, it won't peform as well.

the centre sections are 60-70 there, so you think i should get a different one( one good thing is about tht powerflow one, thats fitted) and if i bought another one, i would have to get them to fit it as well!

Get a Sebring one, fit it yourself, only need a set of axle stands and some dexterity.

Chris, if you buy a remus one, it will last longer than a powerflow one, and you can get it fitted at work
