peteyg 354 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Anyone else had this issue? I've already had it repaired once but suspect if I do it again the repair won't last long. The rest of the backbox is in reasonable nick. IMAG1653 by Peter Gentilli IMAG1654 by Peter Gentilli Quote Pete '79 S2 LEW Miss September 2009 Link to post Share on other sites
Bibs 11,888 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 If they repair it again could you ask them to weld an additional plate either alongside or on the underside to reduce the load on the weaker repair? 2 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

peteyg 354 Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Good call. Didn't think of that! Plumped for a new backbox in a moment of purchasing anger but will try and get this repaired as backup. Thanks @Bibs! Quote Pete '79 S2 LEW Miss September 2009 Link to post Share on other sites
gvy 391 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 (edited) pete, Can you inform me what backbox (or rear silencer) you bought and are using ? I see that SJ sportscars have 2 different types : SJ079S0004 : REAR SILENCER ESPRIT Series 2 and 3 or SJ079S0013 :SPORTS SILENCER, STAINLESS STEEL (series 2 and 3) Edited March 1 by gvy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peteyg 354 Posted March 2 Author Report Share Posted March 2 @gvy Hi Geert, I have the Sports silencer fitted now. I ordered the normal one to replace that broken one but was sent a sports one. I didn't need the hassle of sending it back so just fitted it. Can't say there's much difference apart from a bit more noise.

gvy 391 Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Thanks for the answer Pete. I have asked SJ about the difference between the 2 , but I didn't get an answer yet. Since I have the 4-1 SS header and no central muffler for many years, The noise is ....sufficient.... and I don't really need it louder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peteyg 354 Posted March 4 Author Report Share Posted March 4 @gvy I have the same setup Greet. There's a bit more bass but that's about it. I find having the k&n air filter makes quite a bit of difference to intake noise. Pete 1 Quote Pete '79 S2 LEW Miss September 2009 Link to post Share on other sites
