Give Power a call in Coventry.

They have some lurking about outside sometimes, if someone's bought a sports one off them.

They either bin them or weigh them in.

Wish I hadn't read this thread now

The car hasn't had any money spent on it for almost a week, and I'm starting to feel guilty & here's you tempting me in to a sports exhaust.

Must cut credit card up, must cut credit card up

I've got a set of sports pipes that you can have for a few £££'s, not in perfect condition but should do the job for you. Let me know if they'll be anygood for you.

i think that the actual diametre of the piping may be slightly smaller on a 4.2 than a 4.5.

I think the same hope someone can clarify?

Trackcar will know, if he is about

I dont think a picture will help unfortunately, because i dont actually know the diameter myself, i just think they are different 4.2 vs 4.5

The 4.5 system is slightly larger in pipe bore ( about 3mm) so a 4.5 back box will fit a 4.2 car but it will need some thing to fill the gap like shome shim steel for example thant can b e warpped around the pipes to increase the diameter.

Obviously getting a 4.2 box to fit a 4.5 car is going to be trickier.....
