Do you seriously not know where to get a back box from? You're not exactly a newb

I didn't think you could change the backbox only, thought you needed an entire catback system on 172s?

I got the backbox from CES, £80 including the rear bracket/rubber mount. It had exactly the same part number stamped on as the kwikfit one the PO had fitted so I also know where they get their exhausts from!

The only difference between new and old is the new one was welded down both sides of the bracket rod thing so should last a bit longer. The old one was less than a year old and had cracked at the weld toe where the rod bracket thing met the silencer. Try and make sure its welded down both sides of the rod bracket bit where it is attached to the silencer when you buy one.
