hey guys, so basically i bought this exhaust off sum1 for £20 and they previously had it on a corsa b, but im having alot of problems fitting it, as the mounts are different to the corsa one, ive tried mounting it to the chassis but that hasnt worked, tried holding it up with an exhaust strap and cable ties, but it just slips as it vibrates, i really wanna get it fitted though lol, ill put sum pics up so you can have a look, any suggestions would be grateful.

you should email the guy you got it off see if he can tell you how it was fitted
best way tho id say is with a bracket of some sort:
it wraps around the backbox and the 2 metal prongs will fit in to the existing rubbers
failing that you could weld 2 prongs on yourself.

thats a nice backbox,but its jap style so wont suit a corsa lol..but anyway..best bet i think would be to use that mounting arm thats there,my mates was like that,and we just went to a motorfactors and got some random nuts,bolts,metal bits and sort of bolted a longer arm that came off to fit corsa rubber..hard to explain lol

for a start,u need to turn it round the right way lol..the sticker bit should be at the top,u should find it easier to fit then as the mountin arm will be right by one of the rubbers
