sorry to bring this up again but a mate of mine has offered to weld in a piece of exhaust pipe for me to replace my centre box. will this make it raspy and pop or am i better buying a centre box?

i had a magnex cat back system, but cause the car is so low and the middle box hit most speed bumps, after a while it was fucked so got a mate to cut it out and weld a piece in, its not too loud and sounds very nice and doesnt rasp at all

ok cheers mate. i take it it needs to be a couple of mm thicker diameter than the standard pipe so it can be slipped over then welded?
