How Much To Fit A Backbox

[DjMack22]

hi guys,

how much would it cost roughly to have a backbox fitted to your car, it's a magnex one and made to fit a saxo and not just a univesrial one

cheers

I got mine fitted for 20 quid but Magma in bathgate said 60 if modifying was req

[DjMack22]

i just got a price of 120 quid!!!!!!!! thats why i'm asking,

finding it hard to get someone to fit it as they all don't deal with modded parts!!!

£120!!they know your not buying a back box of them right? smileys/smiley2.gif lol it varies from different garages.my universal box was £48 including fabricating the bracket so i would imagine it to be less.

just give it ago yourself mate! i hadnt touched an exhaust until i fitted my backbox a while ago before i got a full system! if its made for your saxo then it will be easy as pie smileys/smiley2.gif

[w_jd_w]

just get a haynes manuel smileys/smiley2.gif

[gafvts]

agree with riggsy,try it yourself mate its easy enough to do,if i am right you only need a 13 spanner or ratchet and screwdriver to get the rubbers off

Got my magnex done for £25 at R-Tec, 20 mins to fit, dont pay anymore than 40 mate else your gunna be getting ripped off. You can do it yourself, much easier if you got a ramp/lift but can be done with axle stands, bit fiddly tho thats all

[dumper]

dont pay any money watsoever its one clamp and one or two rubbers have a go yourself matey smileys/smiley20.gif

[DjMack22]

yeah guys,

i know the manager off kwick fit so he put it up on the ramp but the backbox is about 2" short as it came off a full system so any idea where i can get a piece of pipe to extend it?

[kev_owen_ytr]

just take it to fast franks ! lol!!!!!!!!!!!! i pray to god u dont tho

Magnex back box on its own is NOT a direct fit. You have to cut part of the standard centre section off to fit the back box.

agreed mate

it adds to experiance and satisfying

[w_jd_w]

make sure you have it fitted secure if you do it yourself.dont want it dragging on the road at 70mph lol

[vts165]

should cost £25 to fit the back box, £45 to fit cat back

Forgot to say smileys/smiley9.gif , Scotts right, it wont fit direct, it must be cut, thats what caught me out and why i elbowed the idea of fitting it myself. Just dont cut it too short else you'll be buggered lol

[dumper]

dont put the guy of mate it really is so easy TRUST ME smileys/smiley2.gif

[Scott]

it is easy but its not as easy as undo clamp, remove from hangers, put new one on hangers and do clamp up.

[KarlVTR]

Easy as pie,fitted my backbox today(froze me ass off),took me all of an hour. smileys/smiley20.gifGo for it,if u already havent.

Some Magnex's do have a link pipe. But that means its for a full system, does'nt it?
