Where To Get Centre Exhaust Box From?

[james4287 1]

That big box right where the back axle is in between the round front silencer and the back box. I need one and can't seem to get one anywhere for less that £70 which for a standard pattern exhaust silencer seems a bit steep to me. Does anyone know any after market alternatives cheaper? I've checked ebay regularly but can't find anything. Would consider going down the stainless steel route for the right price, again anyone know anywhere cheap ish? Ideally second hand as new stainless systems seem to be 300 notes plus.

Another option is doing away with that silencer altogether, I've seen them listed on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/exhaust-mid-box-to-mid-pipe-for-VW-Golf-Mk3-Stainless-Steel-1-4-1-6-1-8-2ltr-8v-/310534088763?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AGolf%7CPlat_Gen%3AMK+III&hash=item484d46283b but when I contacted the seller he said it will only fit the models listed of which the vr6 isn't listed. The Gti is however so does anyone know if it will fit??

Any help would be greatly appreciated?

I have a stainless exhaust for dead cheap as it needs a tiny pin hole welded, which the garage who fitted it for you could seal up in about 3 seconds.

I would get the fleabay pipe and forget the middle box. Unless you are keeping the car forever and then I would get a full stainless system so it won't need doing again.

the ebay one will probably be a different I/D so wouldnt fit onto the exhaust directly

Lukey, yeah I just seen yours in the for sale forum, I'm very tempted but your too far away from me..

Do you know if that eBay pipe will fit, it says 50mm diameter approx anyone know the size of the vr6 pipe?
