          I need like an expanded joint so i can slide 57mm (2.25") tube inside then seam weld - much stronger for me than just butt weld cos I don't have the equipment to TIG weld it, only MIG and I'm not an expert welder

          But not many people have 2.25" tube and I can't find the expanded sleeve joints to make it easy. It should only cost a few ££ if i can find somewhere

            MIG weld it with 1-2mm air(understand?) between the exhaust and the sleeve, then you get good penetration

              I'll cut off the 60mm section and use that - hope its not too loud afterwards

                  don't leave a gap and weld with med-high amps but start/stop and go careful....don't rush. Wont look pretty but you'll fuse it well. It'll be a darn sight cheaper than buying slip coupling's too

                  If you leave your gap (as you should do really) and your not very experienced you'll end up with grapes inside or blowin holes

                    Hells yeah, no centre box. Lemme know how it sounds after, let that 7A sing.
                    Might get mine chopped out if its worth it.

                      Did you get round to taking the centre box out in the end Alex?

                        no mate, not got around to it TBH
                        But i know it will be pretty loud as I only had the centre section on for a few laps round my estate and it wasn't much louder than with the back box on, so it doesn't do much
