To quote the mechanic from Lakeland Engineering my backbox is 'minging'. It is very rusty and has hardly any life left before it starts blowing. My problem is that despite a fairly thorough search I can't seem to find anyone online who sells the non-turbo backbox.
Is it the same as the turbo one or if not where can I get one and roughly how much is it gonna cost me? I'd prefer a genuine Lotus one unless someone can reccomend a good alternative.
Thanks,
Grant.

The NA box is not the same as the SE one, by the way.

Thanks guys.
Does the st/st rear pipe look and perform the same as the standard one and are there any problems fitting it to a regular steel centre section?
Cheers,
Grant.

I think the biggest problem trying to fit any section of the exhaust is trying to split the old sections apart whilst not distorting the joint. Sometimes it is a lot easier, quicker (and more cost effective in the mid to long term) to replace the whole lot for a stainless steel system...
