For the record I did have a back box that was - er - disconnected from the rest of the exhaust system for a month or so. The car did feel a little quicker after it was fixed but I think that was probably because I was adjusting the right foot to get the noise level I was used to. ::)

Certainly didn't have any running problems. The back box is pretty much a pair of straight through perforated pipes with wadding around them so I doubt it has much effect on gas fow.

Until the internals break down and the wadding "spreads" everywhere .. it then has a pretty major effect on performance ... it goes from great to crap very quickly !!

If the back box is so badly corroded externally as bits are "nearly falling off" .. perhaps the internals are poorly as well ???

Just a daft thought .. nowt else .. :)

True. They can block, and that will kill the performance.
