   Just got this outward rolled piper Back box which has a FEMALE connection on it the same as my super sprint race tube, my original back box has a male connection on it meaning there is no need for a gasket but if i fit this back box it's obvious that if I don't fit one it will blow badly, where can I get one of these gaskets ...?

   I had a similar problem mate. But just cut the female bit off the piper then connected the two with a sleeve.

   Why on earth would you ruin a perfectly good exhaust? As above, all you need is a max £5 gasket to sit in between the two

   Had two now it's deffo a piper, although the guy I got it off had it on a 1.1 so had the connecting end exstended abit for some reason, I guess to make it stick out of the bumper further ?
   
   But yeah it's a piper for sure, I've ordered the gasket

   Didn't look like that would cut it so went down the sleeve route. Also its on the car and working well so I wouldn't call it ruined!

    Ok, well if you think cutting your nice piper up instead of using a simple £5 gasket isn't ruining it, then fair play

    Well it wasn't the best way round it but it was a second hand unit which now works fine! Also as said the gasket looked dodgy as fuck when it was on there! Just didn't trust it :s

    Donu know weather it's worth just sleeve joining it onto the sainless supersprint then have a nice neat weld the hole wat round once it's in position, as the gasket I've got from kam don't look gd onced it's all in place it makes the join huge
