What are the actual benefits of doing that? I know its a common thing to do, but I have no qualms with my current setup lol
Unless its for more accurate gearchanges, in which case I might do it, wouldn't want to be crunching my box now lol

The only real benefit is it frees up the bottom of the car for a straighter exhaust setup. it is marginally less sloppy than a nova setup, but not by much lol
i'll only do it then, if my noise is a problem on track, and I have to change it for a 3 box system :) rather than just 2 boxes
yep, that what im bolting on for next season. I was everso close to the max last year lol
Nice one Ol, your lucky yours was not spot welded in! lol
Saying that though Lee (Dar's Bro) had a Plasma cutter, also don't forget that the side of the passengers one hold the handbrake in place, so don't chop that out completely!:D
And another thing, when putting in the bars,if there solid box section this wont matter,but if there "L" shaped make sure to weld them in so that the small parts of the "L" shape are facing inward,makes it easy to get under to bolt the seat mounts down.
EG, here's a rough sketch.

Thats a good tip from Scotty there lol
Nice one chap, altho they were spot welded, I just didnt have a spot weld drill, so used the grinder lol
I'm using 1" x 1" box section, and going right across from sill, to exhaust tunnel.
Should I be ok just welding in the 4x bars? or should I plate either the sill or tunnel first?
Lee - I think I'm going to have to replace my whole system to add another box won't i? I'm currently using a 2.25" bore Ashley system... any gen?
Cheers, Olly
Not necce-celery, it depends how much room there is on any straight sections of pipe you have under there. Best bet is to take it to a custom exhaust specialist.Quote:

Excellent Dave, any particular reason for doing so?
I was just going to go straight through the top and the bottom of the box section for added strength?
Cheers for the heads up to, seems like it's going to be a pain to get them level, straight, and correct when doing it on my own lol
Editted - sorry re read about the "plates" I get ya now, nice one! (i thought you meant the T pieces) definately sturdies it up about by the looks of things
