I am planning on purchasing this stage 1 kit from mini spares. Since i have an Estate and its a bit longer i will also need this minus the RC40 box right? Just wanting to make sure before making the purchase.

Thanks

The single box RC40 is a subtly different to the twin box RC40 and the respective halves are not interchangeable.

You will need a van/estate single box system in its entirety - talk to Mini Spares, they may well be willing to mix 'n match the Stage One kit to suit your application.

If you're starting with this;

Just this should do, it slips over the end of the tailpipe, and is rather nicely engraved with the maniflow logo.

It also doesn't fit very well at all if you try and do it that way - the silencers are in the wrong place and foul the wheel well.

Single box only on an estate, unless you have a Maniflow system or beat seven bells out of the back box - I could show pictures if I could be bothered to dig out the old RC40 system.

So all i need is the added tailpipe onto the end? Because i was under the impression i need longer down pipe section as well as the longer tail pipe. Also i like getting things for cheaper how do i sign up for TMF+?

Edit: Just posted when you posted so i missed your reply. I guess ill just go for the single box. Is there any difference really between the single box and double?

Double edit: I pretty much just put together a single box Stage 1. Can someone look this over please and tell me if i am missing anything.

Single box is slightly louder and a different tone. You're not going to notice really.
