hi all, how easy is it to fit a sportex backbox to my 1.0l corsa
any help would be appreciated

thanks scott

simple as, loosen clamp on standard back box then slide of rubber mounts, use WD40 on the joint to loosen then twist off.
fitting is reverse

sounds easy...but be warned...things dont always go that easy when it comes to exhausts...sometimes the standard ones are a bastard to get off...and with mine as its a universal one it would fit..so had to mod it.

not only that, i been told that sportex back boxes have a different diameter pipe to the standard back box, coz i went to buy there mid section but said it wouldnt fit standard back box so be carefull mate, might be easier to phone them up to make.

its not very often u will get a universal backbox that will go on with ease.is it universal or made for corsa b?

I bought a sportex full system for mine and it sounds emence ...you can get the centre race pipe from them for only £50.So save the hassle of doing it and get a centre section .Although a friend of mine just bought the back box and it did fit his standard system.

and by the way on another exhaust topic every one plase take note of the following comment "UNIVERSAL BACKBOXES ARE W*NK, AND LOOK poo ,SOUND LIKE A BEE IN A TIN CAN ,AND A GENERAL MODIFICATION NO NO !!!!!!! DONT DO IT "

yeh i would agree most universal ones do sound like a wet fart...but there is some that do have a nice sound its just hard to find lol

just go for an ashley system and manifold!!! lol

i agree ashlet system! ! got it on my redtop, sounds the nuts, but if u want loud get A ISOTTA BACK BOX UNIVERSAL.....f**k LOUD LOUD ON MY OLD CORSA, IT WAS ONLY A 1.2! ! !

ashley have good power gains AND sound good AND bolt straight on, so it win - win all the way lol

what kinda price r they? lol
