Depends on the exhaust system you\'ve got - many exhaust manufacturers base their patterns on standard Timax parts and modify it slightly for their own needs.

Best thing would be to go to a Powerflow - even they can\'t get a straight through pipe wrong!

What I did for mine is went to the motorists center brought a piece of flexi exhaust pipe about 15 quid and got local garage to weld the thing in which cost me 35 quid as had to fabricate another bracket to hold the xaust up

Well ive already got the fabricated hangars ready, there the right size and everything as we had to make them for my old backbox, so even if i gotta make new ones, it wont take long at all!

Ive been told about the flexi pipe, but i thort that it would just melt..... What would i do just attach the flexi pipe to the backbox on one side and the middle box with the other and secure both ends with exhaust clamps?? ....... Wouldn\'t it blow??

Na it wont melt mine bine o.k for 2 months now but first cut either side of middle box on mid section bit of pipe. As flex pipe is same diameter as exhaust it needs to be welded onto existing pipes that you just cut. Then as its flexi the whole exhaust will hang real low unless there is a hanger where previous box was. Which needs to be fabricated and welded. So there would now be 3 brackets holding exhaust up. One original at start of mid sec, one on new flex pipe and originals on back box. Bit of a custom job. If welded it will be fine for ages

It\'s in brilliant nick. Did it myself, took the middle box pipe out, then cut the actuall middlebox out and then welded pipe there, doesnt blow wat so ever, and obvioulsy perfect fitment for a corsa b. Not sure on P+P, im guessin under £10.
