Title: backbox
Post by: hawke113a on 02 December 2014, 17:49:51
im wanting to buy a nice "universal" backbox for the v6...but there is only one pipe into the back of it...will it affect the performance if i use an adapter to put two pipes into one.....and has anyone done it...if so what size pipe do i need for the twin pipe bit
