Hi all,

Long shot I know, but does anyone have any new or as new rear exhaust boxes for sale? I am going to go for Quicksilver or Larini boxes in the next couple of weeks, but thought it would be worth an ask to see if anyone has any that are surplus to requirements.

Out of curiosity does anyone know which of these box options will sound most like standard boxes with a hole in them? The car sounds absolutely fantastic at the moment with one of the boxes coming detached from the inlet pipe!

Thanks!

Our exhausts must have let go in sympathy. My back boxes are now shot (sound fantastic, but I'm considering wearing earplugs at the moment), so I've just put an order in for some Larinis. Once they're on I'll get a soundclip sorted!!

Do you mind if I ask what you paid in the end?

need back boxes as well, So I am shopping around this week.
We could try and do a bulk buy, how many exhaust specialists can sell three sets of Maserati 3200 kit on the same day?

Depends whether you are looking for empty cans that require ear plugs to drive or just a sensible replacement in stainless steel for the standard items. If the latter is what you are after that still allow normal converation / hi-fi but with a slighest deeper bass without the boom, then give Eurospares a call - They do a pair with full 25 year guarantee for around £650

hope this helps

Thanks again - would love to have the Tubi style cans just for the noise - test drove one and loved the sound.
Back in the real world, it could get a bit tiring on a run, not to mention the neighbours moaning. A bit more noise would be ideal, so long as there is no drone or reverb when cruising ( I might do some cruising one day).

Is it possible to "patch up" my rear boxes for the MOT? Suspect they go in the usual bitch of a pace to repair, right in the seams and joints.

Hi Guys,

Just caught your chat about Back Boxes for 3200's. It is possible Cortese in Bath may have some. Last I heard they were approx 350 quid plus VAT. Talk to Simon about them.

Hi all,

So far I have:

Quicksilver at £880 inc VAT
Larini at £936 inc vat
hayward and scott at £600 Plus vat.

Think I am going to go with Quicksilver as I have heard positive comments about their products, and they look nice too!

H&S said they could do a better price for 3 sets, but would need a car to work from as they don't have a pattern.

Sounds great! pretty sure I will go with QS now. My normal exhaust guy has a contact at QS so hopes he may be able to get a better price, but even if not they look great, seem to sound good and are reasonable price.
