Glanza Backboxes

[iamkierram]

Does anyone know if there are any backboxes are still being sold in the UK for Glanza's? I've tried to find one but the Nur Spec S is no more for the Glanza and the only thing I can find is the Buddy Club Spec II full system. I don't want to import one if I can avoid it!

305 USD.

Toyota dealerships import parts for jdm cars themselves and then sell them at extortion prices. Best bet is to either go aftermarket, find someone breaking a Glanza or fit a starlet N/A backbox on lol

I missed out a key point there, I meant aftermarket not OE haha. I'm struggling to find aftermarket as well though!

This is the cheapest brand new Blitz Nur Spec back box I can find. You can hold out for a second hand one to come up. I did know someone selling one cheap but not sure if it's still for sale. Will find out for ya.

[iamkierram]

I've already looked into this one, it's only up to a '95 and they don't know if it will fit a '99 spec, they did do one specifically for the Glanza but Blitz discontinued it!

ah snap, didn't even notice that it was ep82. You could weld ep91 hangers onto it and weld end pipe to back box. A garage would do it for like 30-40 quid.

Theres also this one from idworkz: http://id-workz.co.uk/blitz-nur-spec-s-exhaust-backbox-glanza-ep91?search=back%20box%20ep91

Alternatively, you could go to a custom exhaust fabricator and get one made for much less. Have it it made to look similar to Blitz Nur Spec if that's what your after.

Try eBay bud I did see a blitz nur spec s on there yesterday

[iamkierram]

Tbh I've been on this for weeks trying to find a backbox and I've been toying with the idea of a custom box, I just don't know where to go. It seems stupid to fit a whole exhaust system on a standard Glanza just to get a bit more sound out of the car. 

[iamkierram]

Thanks for looking for me, but I'm trying to find something new for it, I'm being picky I know, haha

If you want it purely for the sound then back box is fine but if you want to help your car breathe better aswel with the sound then go for a full system. With custom jobs, best bet is to google local exhaust fabricators and check ratings really..

Starlet specific backboxes are getting harder to find on their own.

Best bet just picking up a random jap company backbox like hks and getting hangers welded on.

I have a 5zigen border 304 here for a GT, have kept it for about 5year as didnt really want to sell it

[iamkierram]

Yea the ones that are round my way (custom exhausts) aren't the best so would be a trip to Sheffield to get one, £250 which is a hell of a lot cheaper than importing a £430 back box over haha.

[maddox710]

What exhaust system is on atm? Pretty most of the exhaust arnt interchangeable. 

[iamkierram]

Just the standard, it seems there used to be a few boxes that were made to fit this by just bolting on but they've stopped making them! 

[StuDoc 72]

You can normally get a full japspeed system on ebay for about £350 but dunno if times have changed and whether they are still about.

[iamkierram]

i'll have a look around and see what i can find, i haven't seen any so  far though.

[starletezy]

Import from japan simple

 

[Gainzy]

If I was you I'd go for a straight through custom system 2.5" louder, lighter, best flow. I have heard the japspeeds are quite good as Stu above says. I run the buddy club spec2 it's a very angry note on boost.

Used to be able to get a Japspeed from anywhere between 99p to £200 on ebay. Definitely better off getting a whole exhaust system. I had just a backbox on my when i got it, snapped the standard exhaust in two eventually 

[iamkierram]

I’ve been struggling to find a Buddy Club tbh! Turns out the ones for sale on Monster Motorsport are faulty hence the low price. Looks like a custom might be the only option!

[Starlet__SR]

They need to be tweaked to fit. I was after one many years ago and couldnt find one of the originals that fitted. You're better off going custom like I did. STG performance or CGR automotive come highly recommended. 

[iamkierram]

Awh thanks for that, I’m struggling to find a well recommended company I’ll have a look at these two now!

[Ryncewind]

Tonybanks or Keltec, Both in Leeds and both highly rated, I was quoted £350 for a full 3" mandrel bent stainless exhaust from the decat back with a custom backbox by Keltec. 

[federalman]

Personally I'd get a full system, by the time you've got a back box made to fit you might as well just replace the old 20+ year old system with a stainless one. The car will breathe better and it'll sound nicer.
