    You need to cut and weld the centerpipe, if you have a standard centerpipe then you need to make a reducer for a temp fix i used the cut off bit opened it on side and fitted that. Or if your good at welding you can build it up.

    Would rather fit a standard backbox to a standard centre then have them two bodged together.

    do it properly and buy a magnex centre section if you really want that backbox on.
    Looks like the previous owner has left a bit of their centre section on and not cut the magnex backbox thank god. so you could just undo the clamp and pull the shit bit of pipe out.

    The magnex system is supposed to slot together.

    As said... take it to a garage that does welding. Show them the back box and they will do the rest. easy as shit.

    probably charge you about £30-40

    i had a backbox cut an welded, and my centre section removed and replaced with straight pipe, and he charged me £60! it was mega!

    but then my westie died shortly after, so have it to do again...
