   Will need to make custom brackets and custom piping too cus theyre much longer than normal boxes so could work out quite pricey?

    a bike can wont make you car sound like a bike btw...
    
    also unless done really well they tend to look gash, just get an off the shelf car specific one you know will fit and look good.

    There was a member on here with the Bluey Silver Sax that had a Motor bike can on and it look pretty nice IMO but its all a case of personal taste really.
    
    Reckon it could give a quite raspy note do the the size of the can and tailpipe, if thats your think (i like raspy) then wow hoo if not booooooo
    
    For that kinda money just do it if you dont like it you can change it :-)
    
    Look forward to seein what it looks like. Cant be any worse than the bloke that fitted a PugSport exhaust to his Furio :-P Super Itchy Gash

    i'm getting it on sunday, then will get my dad to make some brakets and what not.
    
    should look ok if done well, and as my dad can get proper pipe work made up it should sit nicely.
    
    will get pics up as soon as its on.

    righty ho, this is the box in mention, needs the pipe work to be cut down and made to fit, but there's enough for a few attempts.
    
    should be good, plus its different, everyone has the same sort of exhaust.
    linked to a good centre section, de-cat and manifold it should be just as good but look different.
