Was driving along the other day when I turned off my music to hear what sounded like my exhaust louder then normal after changing to 5th. Upon stopping I discovered most of the tip of my standard backbox had rusted off. So it would seem i'm now the proud owner of a 1" slash rusted backbox 
Have to say, it gives a not bad noise at low rpm, need somebody to drive past me to hear it properly tho.

It shouldn't make it all that louder unless the condition of the tip is a reflection of what state the silencers are in.

Hadn't occured to me. Tbh its not massively loud, but it could prolly do with a new one, only just got the car recently and haven't had a chance to do anything to it. Was no service history with it, damn auction place  Any idea what the engine code would be for it? It's a 1.4i Corsa Ls, '95. Thanks.
