I’ve seen only back box deletes with the box cut off and welded straight pipes. Is it not possible for a flanged back box delete so can simply swap it back if too loud?

Not as far as I know, I was referring to the recent events that have blotted mikes copybook and him seeming gone to ground.
 
I had a TVR Tuscan Speed Six, that had a great noise, the big end can silencers were sleeved with stainless steel pipe. 2 pipe offcuts , a hide mallet, 5 mins and job done :driving:
It had an awesome noise, wonder how close to this the Z4M could sound.

For those that don't know details of how Ducklakeview's treated some members are in this thread, shocking really. In my opinion you'd have to be mad to trust him with anything now, particularly money up front. :thumbsdown:

Backbox mod wise, fortunately he's certainly not the only game in town. There are other options all over UK. Even on here he didn't pioneer this mod he copied what Yorkie Z did. See these threads for how the whole exhaust backbox thing got started.

Its no secret I'm no fan of his, but long before I actually fell out with Ducklakeview, I along with a number of others have never been impressed with the quality of his worksmanship, this is particularly true when it comes to his welding etc.

Rich Bergh demonstrated this really well in his backbox mod thread. There are comparison photos in Rich's thread re welding quality, I think you'll see what I mean. In fairness Mike's welding may have got better over time but for me even if I hadn't fallen out with him and Rocket wasn't on the cusp of taking legal action against him, why risk it at all when there are other options available.
