whats your budget ? do you just want a back box or a cat back system?

if you want it to last either a piper or magnex system or backbox for around £280-300

or if you feeling skint another peco or maybe a sportex back box

siebring backboxs suit the corsa well but there around £180 and thay arnt even stainless steel


a standard pattern part backbox for the corsa is £15 if your really really broke

think mi middle box is knackerd it make s a right noise,
if im in a high gear goin slow like say 25 in 5th it makes a right rattle, obviosly the cars struggling to go
but it proper rattles, plus the mid section looks rusty as hell
o i just wanna replace the middle section tbh
n if i get 1 without a middle box, it cant go wrong again lol,

also anyone know what makes the exhaust diffrent from that on a 1.2i dohc *apart frm the manifold*
