If I were to put an Eternal exhaust on my 3.2 Elite, could I use the single outlet (ie, 2.5) backbox instead of twin outlet (ie 3.0)?

Also, I assume the prefacelift and facelift exhausts are the same on the V6, ignoring that the prefacelift backboxes are slightly shorter...

[dbug]

Would guess so Jaime - I had to fit a twin outlet box on the 2.5 Estate due to non availability of single outlet box at the time - fitted ok with minor tweak to one of the hangers

Long as its a saloon back box for yours as Estate & Saloon back boxes different.

Correct

[albitz]

I fitted a twin outlet rear box from a 3.2 on my 2.5, so it should be the same the other way round.

Goes without saying really

Well, he did ask.

But my reply posted before yours

No restriction to flow using single outlet?

[albitz]

Possibly. Mine certainly lets more noise flow out the back than the single outlet did. A bit too much if Im honest. :-/

Interesting question!

Considering quite a lot of power does come from the exhaust, flow is important.

But would a single pipe make that much of a difference? What if it was one pipe but then split into two in a stainless tip?

[hotel21]

Dunno about a pukka twin outlet box (working correctly, that is) compared to a 2.5 single.

But do know that fitting a shiney new Irmscher twin outlet to my estate made a mahoosive difference, given that the one it replaced had a collapsed pipe on one side.

Remember checking it at the lakes and the fuel trims?  All sorted now....

Something was wrong with your old backbox IIRC, only getting gases from one pipe?

You're not kidding! The last time you came to mine, I heard you coming from the next village!! I thought you'd dropped in a V8!!

I think it sounds excellent!!

Nah, try TheDaddy's spare exhaust. That's load

Curiously, most people go the other way. Twins on to a 2.5 to make it look like a 3.0 for the pose factor. I know i did when I had my 2.5 elite.
So, either you've got a single outlet back box kicking around or you want people to think it's a 2.5 and then leave them standing off the lights. 
Alternatively, maybe that's all eternal have now.  :-/
