Re: Exhaust help
No you can keep the standard back box and it'll be louder with maybe a gurgle/pop coming off the revs
Jamie had a Hoffman race tube with standard back box, I'll try dig up the link of a vid he took or if he sees this he might post it

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Exhaust help
Jamie will be happy, he's got a new car now but he had that Hoffman system (persuaded me to get it) and had it static on cav slabs. Go on his project thread and you'll see how it lookedcharliearmi wrote:Nice one! Same corsa as mine.. Bought it brand new, should come in couple of days.. Also got a set of coilovers coming..

Re: Exhaust help
I had problems fitting mine but that was because a previous owner had cut the cat pipe, but other than fitting an extra bit of pipe it went straight on no problem
Best way to tell is jack up the car and compare it to what's on the car

Re: Exhaust help
Looks like it will fit easy, in one end did yours come with another sort of pipe that went into the end?
