I'm just hunting for a new(ish) back box now. Been to P D Gough at Nottingham today with my old broken Double S back box. (I have a hybrid system at the moment.....Double S front and rotting Mazda back box). Anyway Goughs said my broken Double S box had blown all its stuffing out and wasn't worth repairing.
So I'm looking now. Paul's system is too far. I'll see what bespoke services can turn up off the net. It looks like there's a few specialists out there who will make a complete system while you wait.
Gough's guy said he could make a full system for around £250/£300. Seems good. But it then it also seems to be down to logistics and sitting around in a waiting area for a few hours......not really keen on that.
I think my Mazda back box will pass it's MOT in a couple of months so I'll have some time next spring.

you won't need this when you fit your turbo! Except maybe the backbox..... it's amazing how light these double S stainless backboxes are compared to the standard mazda item

Thanks Ian, I thought as much, but if Keith still wants to go for the roof panel I can still pick it up for him, over to you Keith.

Just ensure any muffler you do get has high temperature ratings for the internal 'stuffing'. Lots of companies use fibreglass matting which just cooks behind the rotary engine heat and lasts no time at all.
I've also got a bush set for an FB. I purchased it of from Kiwimazda back in June 2011 and was told it was a full set although I don't know for sure. Never opened and only looking to get back what I paid for them.
