scorpion evo is the same spec as my own, and if there is a centre box (which i dont think there is) its only for show.
i wouldnt buy a sports cat, what a price they are

1. sebring *mild steel* but good value for money
1. lexmaul stystem
the bastuk has a better finish than all of my old SS stystems
also, the lupo gti with the full SS bastuk makes hardly any noise. i would say an irmscher backbox would make more ?
seriously though whats the point? why dont you just get a tailpipe end then?
im not saying i like cars to make more noise than a maccy d's car park on a satuday night, but a nice audible note is good, especially on more powerful/sporty cars

THe Scorpion definately has a centre box on the Astra/Zaffira GSi as my friend has one and when he had his car set up on the rollers they found it to be very restrictive so he had it cut out.

The main reason i want to change the exhaust is because the standard soundtrack is awful, its all wooshy tishy bollocks.

exactly they shouldn't have them in the first place on turbo cars,
hence a company that does proper research gets it right 1st time
and mine was cheaper than the scorpion

Stavs my point is valid I have seen a Bastuck exhaust off a Astra GSi and its no better in quality than some of the named above, and paying above the norm for less metal because its laser cut and manderel bent (like evey other decent system on the market) its like throwing money down the drain.
Shinee showed me a Bastuck system and in all honesty I can't see how they warant the extra money for less metal and a mising box which is not really benefical on a N/A car where back pressure is needed.

why, because the corsa C has the most restrictive system vaux have ever put on a production car. The middle box is about 3ft long ! by changing the stystem i will see a small but good power gain without it rattling the car to bits

less restriction = noise so make your mind up, bastuck really aint all that and a bag of chips,
its overpriced tat imo, and i just wouldnt purchase it,
would you buy 1 leather glove for £1
or the other for £50
???
its all stainless steel

like i said, i have seen the systems. i belive the quility is far better than *most* over systems on the market for the corsa C which is few and far between.
the noise lever is good for me too

overpriced and IIRC a few people on corsa-c.co.uk have had problems with those systems blowing, shoddy welds and not fitting spot on.
2.5" bore seems a bit much for a n/a 1.8 as well.

1 person on ccuk had problems, due to his own fitting/driving from looking at previos posts.
it seems all the 1.8's on there are using a 2.5 bore

I asked for straight through without boxes and thats what I got. If I had wanted it to sound like a fairy I would of had silencers put it.  Im glad for you paying a 4 figure some for a branded name scaffolding pole.
