Subaru Exhaust
Would it be possible to fit a subaru backbox to a saxo?

so you can then chill at macd and show off that youve got a subaru backbox on your car
backboxes are made for a reason, the size / dimensions etc are there to aid airflow of particular cars,
subaru's and saxo's are not the same car

it wont make the same noise as the scooby, and the scooby as a special type of engine.
it will just sound dog mate.
a mate had one on his 106, wasnt to my liking.

A bit stereo typical there. Just remember you have a saxo too. I just wanted a simple yes or no not a gang war.
And regarding same cars a Peugeot 106 and Citroen Saxo are different yet the same car.

hahaha, 106 and saxo are the same, so that means a scooby and a saxo are the same
my initial argument was fitting a subaru backbox to a saxo is pointless as its not designed for a saxo
and yes i do drive a saxo, i dont go around trying to fit parts from other cars to it in the hope that it becomes as good as that other car

Who said anything about trying to make a saxo as good as a subaru?
I just asked if the back box would fit
"106 and saxo are the same, so that means a scooby and a saxo are the same"
"subaru's and saxo's are not the same car"
Make your mind up
What about inductions kits, the same air filter just different fittings? to different engines.
Wiper blades, different sizes but not each one for a different car
Even oil, this list goes on
-------------
Im not some little spotty chav that thinks there Colin Mcrae and a hard core drug dealer.

the quote regarding the saxo and subaru being the same was a joke. obviously your humour isnt very good
IDK's are different, exhaust systems create pressure and air flow in the best way possible to suit the engine in gaining as much HP as possible, where as an air filter is just to get as much air into the engine as possible whilst filtering out the crap in the air, regardless of engine, the induction kit has the same task, where as an exhaust has to be designed to suit the cars engine
and before you say it, the different models of IDK for different cars are due to connection to the TB
wiper blades again, are only there to move water on a window, regardless of size and fitment they do the same job
oil is something that should be used in accordance with your engine, not just anything that you pick up..
care to make any other statements you wish me to clarify?

Its alot of bitching, considering all i wanted was a yes or no, not a lecture on exhaust pressure.
Thanks for your time all the same

i had a scooby back box on my car just for laughs tbh it was extremly loud and i mean EXTREMLY, but theres no real gains to havin it tbh cause of the back pressure iirc.
if you do want a laugh do it but you will be abused.
this was mine and btw i didnt buy the lexarse they was already on it lol.

But to answer your question i guess you can make it fit with abit of fabrication and modification.

You can fit the subaru exhaust with a bit of work, best to take it to dealer like power flow or longlife. You wont get the sound thought as the scooby has a boxer engine.

No it wont.
Scoobies have different engine layouts from all other cars thats why their engine note is unique.
