jsut bought a white GSi valver, got a 2.5 inch back box on at teh mo, inwardly rolled.
dosent look too bad, but it sounds hideous!! so going to get a new stainless one made at a local fabricators, jsut want some ideas on what looks good as i've never really looked into corsas before.
was thinking have a square slash cut tip like on a standard sport.
ideas and oppinions please....

gonna save yourself some money if you keep the backbox the way it is. just get it sitting right and quietened down, it doesn't look bad anyhow, but i suppose youcould sell the whole system complete if yu are after something different

Mine was a VauxSport one, its not too loud, got a centre box, all 2.25" pipework, the backbox is oval, with a nice round pipe.
I like it alot, and i used polybush hangers, so its pulled up tight to the bumper & doesnt move at all.

yeah mine is already on polybush hangers. want it quiet because i HATE raspy exhausts on the wrong cars. and it has to be well within the dB limits when i'm on track.

I was quite suprised at how quiet it is, though i havnt actually driven it very far (less than a mile in 2 years lol, long project), but when its running, and quick blasts up the lane, its quite quiet.
This is mine looking from the front, so you can get an idea of the box size

another question.... is that a lower strut brace in your pic? did it make much difference to the handling?
i put on on my zetec-s when i had it and the difference was immense

Thats why i got mine, just went through peoples garages (on here, not actual garages!) and made a list of re-occuring items, then bought them.
Hope it will make for a fun car to drive.
