To be honist you can get anything to fit with modification as said by nova-dan. ive got a scooby on mine and thats probley a lot harder to fit then a calibra one.

Yes but youd have a standard backbox with another baxkbox tip welded to it, that = crap.

Most aftermarket backboxes just have a tip welded on the end anyway, sportex,ashley, janspeed etc all do.

If you wanted do that you could just get a tip of motorworld or wherever and weld it on. It wont sound any different obviously.
