Piper Backbox - Supersprint tube
Will a piper Backbox fit directly into one of those Supersprint race tubes?

Yep. Should do. Flanges on both are the same as a standard exhaust.
And also the length is the same as both parts are interchangle with the standard system, therefore both supersprint and piper are interchangable with each other.

Like mentioned I shouldnt see why not - Its normaly only stuff like the OMP complete system where it replaces everything that it cant be mixed with OE equipement and they normaly state the fact also.
What you getting Soulless? Size/type Piper?
If you havent ordered already check www.speedbox.co.uk as that was the cheapest place I could find for my Piper 4-1. www.performancecentre.co.uk and www.motorsportworld.co.uk might be worth checking to compare prices before you order
If you manage to save any money on the price of your exhaust give it to me

I thought my custom exhaust would pop and bang as its 4-1 / Sports Cat / Straight Through Centre / Group N style custom back box but it only pops when the revs are falling and I slowly bring the clutch in and its more of a soft pop rather than your Chavy Custom Universal Jap can.
Personaly Id think about the 4' Slash cut Soulless.
Here's the 3.5' Magnex - Which the Piper will look like except the stupid siliencer hanging down
But here is the 4' Slash cut which sits perfect I reckon and looks great. Should sound fantastic - more and more people are choicing to go with the 4' Slash now. I looked at it but didnt fit with the Rallye Style so desided against it.
Did you check out the sites? where they cheaper than where you'd been looking?

I so cant understand what people see in the Magnex!
Who can honestly say hand on heart that the rear silience not fitting under the bumper and hanging down like that looks good!?!
I know Im not on my own but loads of people are happy with that, why?
MAGNEX
Oh well rant over

i see a fiesta 1.25 with a magnex, it looked disgusting, but no, i like the silencer hanging down on the Saxo, think it looks nice.
There is no way in hell id run a 4 inch can, and i have always been anti slash cut, because my car just isn't jap.
Admittedly they look alright, but i dont want my car looking like that.
What do you think a 3" outwardly rolled or 3 1/2" outwardly rolled.
Magnex are inwardly rolled btw

well 125 quid for Piper stainless backbox
65 quid for straight through pipe.
Ashley is more expensive than that isnt it?
this is a full exhaust for less than 200.
