Thinking of changing the rear section of your exhaust? MTS Garage Services in Hayes fits sports back boxes and helps you choose one that suits the car and stays within the rules.
The back box is the rear silencer, the last section of the exhaust. Drivers swap it for a sports version to change the tone, the look of the tailpipes, or because the original has rusted through and they would like something a bit different when replacing it.
Our sports back box fitting Hayes customers book covers cars of all makes and models. Before ordering anything we talk through what you want, check the existing system, and make sure the result keeps your car legal for noise and emissions. Drivers from Hounslow, Uxbridge and West Drayton are welcome too.
A sports back box replaces the standard rear silencer with a design that usually has a different internal layout and often a larger or differently shaped tailpipe. It changes the sound and appearance. It is not a way to gain performance, and we would not promise that. Every back box still has to quiet the exhaust properly, and the vehicle must pass its noise and emissions requirements. Some designs are mellow and barely noticeable; others are more pronounced. Our job is to help you pick something that suits how you use the car every day, not only how it sounds on first start.
A few decisions shape the right choice, and we go through them with you before ordering.
We lift the car and inspect the full system first, because there is little point fitting a new rear box onto a corroded centre pipe. The old back box is cut or unbolted at the joint, the new one is offered up to check alignment and clearance, then secured with new gaskets, clamps and hangers as needed. We make sure it sits clear of the bumper, body and suspension, and that nothing rattles or touches. A final check for leaks follows with the engine running. If your exhaust needs repairs elsewhere, we tell you and explain the options.
Exhausts must meet noise limits and the car must stay compliant on emissions, so we only fit parts that are suitable for road use and suit your model. If a part would push the car beyond what is allowed, we will say so plainly. Call us or get in touch with your car details and what you have in mind, whether you already have a back box or would like help choosing one. We will explain the work, give a clear estimate and agree it with you before starting.

“Best garage around the only one I use now for both my cars Friendly staff and management nothing is too small. Would highly recomend Quality work carried out”
“My request and my car looked at and reported to me, as to my next move, honest response from the staff.”
“Have received amazing customer service, always up to date with my repair and their diagnostic was on point. Very good experience overall would definitely recommend.”
No, we do not promise any change in power. A back box mainly alters sound and appearance. Any effect on engine output from the rear silencer alone is small, so choose it for the look and tone you prefer.
That depends on the design. Some are barely different from standard, others noticeably deeper. Think about long motorway journeys as well as short trips, and tell us what you want so we can suggest options that stay within legal limits.
Usually yes. Bring the details of the part and your car, and we will check it is suitable for your model and for road use before fitting. If it does not fit properly, we will explain why and discuss alternatives.
Not necessarily. If the rest of the system is sound, only the rear section needs replacing. We inspect everything first so you know the condition of the full exhaust before deciding.
Tell us about your vehicle and we will be in touch.
