To fit a back box you can do it yourself mate its not too hard. A garage would charge about £20 to fit it at most.

do it yourself as long as it aint one of those crapy universal ones, get a direct fit and do it yourself.

its so easy to do, i fitted my whole system in under 2 hours, that was on my drive with the jacks and stands, removed old system and fitted new system from manifold back.
back box should only take an hour or so 
easy to do.
or a garage will do it for a few quid
