Had to fit a 3 Lit back box to new eternal car exhaust system on the Estate, as they could only supply twin outlet 3 lit box .  Fitted OK but you need to ensure your "new" back box is for Estate and not saloon!!
HTH :y

It should fit ok. I just put a 3.2 back box on my 2.5 a few days ago. :y
Edit, mines a saloon though, not sure if that makes a difference. :-/

I used to have the 2.5 and it came with a 3.0 back box fitted. I then changed it when it needed to be for another just the same but had to insist at the exhaust place that that was what I wanted. The rest of the system remained as 2.5 though so there are no problems you will have .
The 'benefit', if it is one is that the tone of the exhaust becomes lower and sounds better.

As people have already said above. :y

I did buy a mini facelift with a stainless exhaust which stuck pasted the bumper. When I removed it whole, then fitted it too my facelift, it fitted perfectly. I would imagine there must be some difference perhaps in length between a mini face & facelift too.
