    Slightly different part numbers between them.
    My bro has a scorpion aftermarket SS backbox on his ABY that originally came from a 3B, it sits a tiny little bit **** eyed, but fits none-the-less.

    No idea about the OEM boxes, someone else may know.

      Does he want to do a swap? I have a Scorpion back box from an ABY on my 3B and that fits a bit wonky too.

          7A/3B/ABY Coupé rear boxes are interchangable AFAIK.
          Robo used my old 7A one on his ABY for example.

                      This is how mine fits:-



                      It catches on the subframe too so I had to make up a rubber packing piece to stop it vibrating.

                        I thought all Scopion exhausts for the S2 were wonky. I think the car they made the original jig from was bent or something.
                        You either have the exhaust touching somewhere or have the tail pipes straight, I don't think they will do both.

                          sure thats not just a stretched rubber hanger. the reinforced ones held my once wonky longlife dead straight in the middle of the cutout. Found one of the rubbers near the cats wasnt attached and from there backwards everything was out of shape...

                            I've already tried that, it won't go up any more because it's already jammed up against the rear subframe
                            Sounds like Scorpions build quality maybe a bit suspect.
