Fitting sports backbox on ibiza mk3

[hardkore]

hey guys

Been thinking about getting a new backbox for my ibiza. Now im sure most of you guys know that the exhaust on the mk 3's are hidden behind the rear bumper. Now what would be the easyest way to get the back box showing out the back? A guy at work said i should just cut it using a hacksaw. Would a car body shop do this kinda thing?

btw im looking at fitting a twin 3" bore back box.

Cheers

easiest way...get a cupra rear bumper

cutting with a hacksaw would be fine aslong as u mark it out and know where ur cutting

would look a bit of a bodge, glad im not into that any more, did this on my previous car because it gave me 10bhp more!

hacksaw + cherry bomb backbox will give an easy 10hp and will look sweet

i used a hacksaw to cut the same shape hole in my 1.6 sport as the cupra has

then fitted a twin 3" round

looks smart and doesnt stick out like a sore thumb like a lot of aftermarket exhausts do! i hate that!

you think??

i've thought about this before and came to the conclusion that if all the black plastic was colour coded then yes i would remove them. but i think with all the black plastic still there, the rub strips compliment the look of the car quite well. don't get me wrong, i wouldnt have spent hard earned money on them, they were there when i bought the car. but really not sure taking them off is the way to go
