Magnex, piper, sportex, supersprint, saxsport, jetex, janspeed, peco, mongoose, scorpion... etc
There are so many to choose from, if its just the backbox then it doesnt really matter as it wont really affect performance so its just what look you want mostly.
What size?
How loud?
Budget?
Longetivity?

Yes mate, they do them for your model iirc
And a cheaper alternative is a Sportex, mild steel, £95 for the 3" and mine has lasted 2 years so far :)
Demon Tweeks sell them :y:

Easy to fit, if your not sure go to a garage, but iirc they are easy enough!
You can get them off ebay or maybe someone on here might be sellin, just have a search about on the net!
But i would say ebay is your best bet!:drink:

They use the same rubber hangers mate :)
Better off getting a fresh pair while you chaging it, only cost a couple of £ :)

Yes :)
There connected to a metal clamp that goes around the main body of the backbox. You can adjust the clamp to get the tail pipe sitting exactly as you want :)
