You could make it fit, Diameter might be different though, and looking at that photo You'd have to chop the last bend off (engine end) also hangars might be a bit different. Wouldn't be hard to make it fit

The 360 backbox is the most useless thing ever, mine's constantly banging off the leaf spring every time i have passengers in the back.

Hi mate the bore pn that exhaust is way to small. if you want to make a nice cheap back box I have a good idea.
Use a 740 turbo intermediate silencer and weld a 3" stainless pipe to give you a tail pipe!
We can make it at mine if you want?

Hi Mate that's not the right box. I can get them from an exhaust place in Swansea for £20. Had a pair as centre silencers on my White 16v.

There's quite a little gaggle of Volvo guys in and around Huddersfield...but not 300-series guys. There are a couple of 240s, a 164, and a nice 850 T5-R (or R...I forget).

cheers

Awesome shots... in my opinion that's what it's all about, looks like great fun. Seem to remember charnock taking similar pics of his 240 on a similar location. Very jealous of the roads you seem to have there!!
