75 V8 Backbox on CDti

T16 · 3rd March 2019, 23:45

Anyone ever modded one or got one to fit on the ZT CDTi?

Im thinking that despite plenty adjustment, those stubby rear pipes will still be too short for the bumper...

They're too small for the diesel, fit the correct one and save heartache

Speaking from experience, the V6 version used on the Roewe 750/MG 7 is probably the better bet to replace an original system box

Fit a straight through pipe with no silencers, sounds great on the diesel 😎

It most certainly does.. I was stopped by a policeman who refused to believe it was a diesel until I popped the bonnet.

Erm no, its a rubbish, smelly, old, polluting diesel, you can't polish excreta, even if you make it sound like some sort of chav poo-box....

I cant find any actual evidence of supply of the Roewe 750 box online, but I have to say, it looks like the best solution out there at the minute!!

JesusW that's expensive, probably about $40 from China no doubt, but Fiacom do not seem to have any..!

Still.... Seems like the highest quality solution, and should last longer than the car, as well as looking "OEM" as such, and being hopefully just as quiet.

I will procure one.

Thanks.

Have a word with Jezzer1, I'm trialling a Rover variant of the same box, however these are converted MG versions and I suspect will come in cheaper unmodified

Thread HERE and if you can't be bothered to trawl through the whole thing, the conclusion is HERE

Tazo got kicked off ebay for selling rubbish. If you havent ordered yet ask them for their ebay id and read the feedback on it.

I used to have it bookmarked but I've got a new tablet.

I'll take the risk I suppose...

That "new" one looked like £185 all in to the UK, so might as well pay the extra £15 and get one right now I guess.

My backbox will likely last a year or so from now, but for me I have never been wholly satisfied with custom aftermarket backboxes.

Cheers guys.
