What systems do people use on their loons? Is the loon middle section the same as a hatch? What backboxes look good on a loon, any pics??
Cheers
Chris
I THINK everything is the same, just the tip on the backbox is extended by about 2foot

Think thats the only option isn't it, hope it wont look silly though lol
It shouldnt do as it'll be under the car....
i just chopped the tail pipe off welded in a bit of pipe to the desired length then welded the tailpipe back on,job done :thumb:
Saloon system is the same as a hatch, bar the tailpipe. There's no "off the shelf" rear box (unless you're looking for OEM spec one of course).
You can fit a hatch rear box but it will be noisy inside the car, as the sound reverberates up into the boot and back into the cabin.
You'll need to extend the tailpipe by about 12" (depending on the length of the original pipe) to put it in the correct position.

Brand new sportec backbox what was around £70, My bf then modded to fit the saloon by extending the rear pipe by 10"s, Pipe was around £7 from ebay, He then welded & painted it matt black.
