    Get a big nail and a hammer and make a few holes. Much cheaper and does the same job at annoying the neighbours.

    So nobody will hear it apart from yourself. Leave it the way it was designed to be.

    Any exhaust centre will be able to sort you out. Also deamontweeks and other parts suppliers will be able to send you an exhaust.

    I suggest you read the noise legislation before going with any back box.


    Not that my personal opinion matters but would you not be better off going for a full exhaust system over a back-box. Or a mappable ecu to get the best you can out of the oem car?

    Be nice that is all

    It means a straight pipe with no silencers. No way will you get one on your car and stay under the legal noise level.

    I would advise to go to youtube, search for "is200 backbox" or "is200 exhaust" (if that's your car),
    plenty of people will have posted videos of their is200s with modified exhausts, get an idea of the different sounds,
    choose the one you like, then search online for that brand or type.

    If you just want it louder but aren't too concerned about the exact sound it makes,
    you could find somebody locally who'll supply and fit a generic backbox,
    but you won't really know how it sounds until its fitted.

    A pipe that replaces your silencer box/boxes/catalyst etc. not necessarilly a full system. A full straight piped petrol is ear bleedinly loud but just straight piping the backbox should be fine

    It's rather simple, the backbox gets chopped off and replaced with a length of pipe

    Here's how it's done

    Here's an IS300 with just the backbox replaced

    And a straight piped LS400, cat back. So no resonators

    For the record I run a full straight system on a rattly diesel so lets not muddy the waters....

    dont put a straight pipe on your car, stupid idea,bring it to car garage that welds and they will make it up for you also if its a is200 you have maybe no hard on changing you car to a de cat as there very restrictive in flow and you will gain a bit more power with a de cat,one my frieds had a is200 and the cat got blocked and caught fire.


    MOD edit cant offer parts, due to adverts.ie.... Take it to PM
