Weight of a backbox Please help!

[theICEman]

Does anyone know the approximate weight of a typical aftermarket backbox?? Is it likely to be under 25Kg? Just that Im hopefully buying a Scorpion one for £35 if I can get it posted cheaply enough. Also, how easy is it to fit a backbox for a novice? Im hoping to do it myself and Ive heard its a piece of piss but Im not exactly experienced in any mechanical matters such as this!

Depends on the size really. I had a Powerflow straight through system fitted to my 1.6 and its got a tiny round backbox (full custom so you choose which one you want) and it only weighs about 5kg!

If it weighs 25kg, im takin mine off. that much weight in that position is just dangerous!!!
