simple as, loosen clamp on standard back box then slide of rubber mounts, use WD40 on the joint to loosen then twist off.
fitting is reverse :D

sounds easy...but be warned...things dont always go that easy when it comes to exhausts...sometimes the standard ones are a bastard to get off...and with mine as its a universal one it would fit..so had to mod it.

not only that, i been told that sportex back boxes have a different diameter pipe to the standard back box, coz i went to buy there mid section but said it wouldnt fit standard back box so be carefull mate, might be easier to phone them up to make.

I bought a sportex full system for mine and it sounds emence ...you can get the centre race pipe from them for only £50.So save the hassle of doing it and get a centre section .Although a friend of mine just bought the back box and it did fit his standard system.

and by the way on another exhaust topic every one plase take note of the following comment "UNIVERSAL BACKBOXES ARE W*NK, AND LOOK poo ,SOUND LIKE A BEE IN A TIN CAN ,AND A GENERAL MODIFICATION NO NO !!!!!!! DONT DO IT "
