   got the exact same one
   it does fit...
   but getting it to sit right is effort!
   it is good though
   
   EDIT: bought from europerformance as well, quick delivery!

   all direct fit backboxs will bolt straight on...
   
   the sleeve fit backboxs are simple aswell, just cut the flange off the weld up the sleeve. job done

    Nice just been on the POTN website and see the Ashley Full system video they have there on the C2, not bad, not too quiet and not too loud!

    im hopfully going to get an ashley backbox aswell i hear they are great sounding for just a backbox. Was just wondering if it is possible to get it to side higher in the standard position though. Thats the only thing thats putting me off just now.

    yeah was low i had to buy some stiffer rubber mounts to get it to sit higher only ever fitted the two backbox mounts though still have the centre section one sittin somewhere lol
    
    dont quote me on that price its a quick guess at what POTN sold the centre sections to me for an the 2nd hand backbox lol
    
    yeah that was 3inch you can get it in 4inch aswell
