sounds good. i wonder what the effect and or sound would be like if you removed the center box and left the rear box in place ??/
i have a similar setup on mine, although not a stock rear box. It does sound different, a bit deeper maybe?

I still feel the sound isn't right for the type of car :fencelook:



I may fit a smaller backbox on at some stage...

So... The new alternator didn't help the loud whine in the mornings.

Im suspecting crank pulley or viscous fan. Have you flushed your power steering system?

Both checked and fine.

I know a power steering whine. It's not that.

It's been going on for over a year now.

My crank pulley looked fine visually but was making a bit of noise for some reason, replaced it and the noise is gone. In terms of the pump it doesn’t always wine , most of these cars are over 10years old so a fluid change can only be of benefit even if it doesn’t solve the issue. :rollsmile:
