My back box fell off and it sounds proper beefy now 
Got me a performance mod for free.
On a serious point tho, can I do any harm to engine without a back box? It isn't any louder than an actual sports exhaust so I'm not wanting to get it fixed till may when it's going in for mot and a few other jobs

Don't think it's very healthy to have no backbox. After all, if you didn't need one, they wouldn't fit one

Bit of a daft topic to be honest. Fix it or replace it.

Put a new backbox on it 
It doesn't have to be something expensive, just get a replacement. I bet you could even find one at the scrappies if you're willing to cut one off.

I don't intend using it till winter as I use mi Vespa in the warmer months so it wasn't moving till may for MOT, but due to the snow yesterday it was pulled back into action.
The back box is still on, it's just that it's come apart from the pipe.
