These fell of the truck today, together they weigh aboult 15lb. Did try a 6ft length of flexi to see if I could lose the backbox aswell, but it was a bit too tractor like for me. Made a make-do flexi pipe for now connecting downpipe to box but will do a better job as soon as I can get some bigger bore flexi. Does seem to pull better, when the turbo cuts in it deffo spins quicker and accelerates quicker.
