Actually yes that does look squatter than mine, but note the ghastly pipework it came with that was removed entirely...

Get it cut off and proper stuff put on instead - sorted. Nafe has a good note re: rattling.

Only thing I will say is... The back-box itself looks a bit short?
Definitely shorter than the prelude moogen back box I have knocking about and (what I remember them to look like) the teg ones from that era?
Wow, good notice, I didn't see that.
Would it be a problem if it's shorter, like in performance? Or is it just the mounting thing's that need to be repositioned?

DIfficult to say. Might be sized for a smaller engine, allowing slightly less flow?
Or might not!
