Going to look at a 1.2L corsa b tomorrow and i am wondering what the internal diameter of the backbox is as i have a 3" sportex in my garage that i want to fit to it. The ID of that is 2" is this the correct size for it?
Thanks!

I thought the 1.0 was completely different to the 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 as they are the same?

Don't worry about it mate! Think I've sorted it
can I use silicone sealant instead of exhaust putty to seal the joints? As I never seem to get a gas tight seal...
