Hi all,

I will soon be in need of a new backbox as mine is completely rusty and falling apart.

I'm after a bit of advice. I want to replace the backbox with one that wont go rusty quickly and that will fill the gap in the bumper and look a lot nicer than the standard.

I'm not after a change for performance gains but a deeper sound would be ok. I dont want it to be loud, chavvy or annoying but a hint of "deep growl" if that makes sense.

First of all, how much would a standard back box cost me including fitting and how much would a nicer rust free one cost. Also, how much longer would the upgraded one last me before it needed replacing. I'm just trying to get an idea of value for money on an upgraded one.

Many thanks.
