Smile Can I put a Prodrive back box onto a Miltek exhaust system? (3" diameter)

I have a full Miltek system on my JDM 03 which is good but too noisy, and it's been suggested that I change the back box. I would like either a Prodrive or a Group N back box. Will these back boxes fit directly onto the rest of the exhaust? (I think their diameter is 2.75 inches)

Considering doing the same myself I was go to make up an adapter/modiffing the B/Box to fit.

Spoke to Iain Litchfield and Miltek have developed a much quieter B/Box to fit on a 3" system

IIRC

I have a prototype ready to go on a car just need to test it now. Hope to have this done over the next couple of weeks. It is quiter on the static tests but need to check the drive-by and what impact it has on power

It was designed for customers that want to do trackdays on circuits with tight limits.

Any news on this Iain ? I could be interested in a quieter backbox for the 3" Miltek - are you looking at doing a Forester one as well ?

Last time I was there I talked to Rich about this, and he said the new quieter one lost about 10 bhp over the original version. Seems a lot to me, maybe it isn't as bad as that...
