Im looking at an XE'd Corsa B 5 door but the back box has blown, what kinda of money am i looking to get it replaced?
it doesnt have a cat if that makes a difference, i wasnt sure if these are available off the shelf.
also would it need to be welded on as i couldnt see where the pipe would break up?

If its tim's old silver one dont buy it, its been ragged to fook. On another note, just go and get a custom exhaust made

Custom or replace it like for like. My 2.0 Corsa just has a standard Corsa exhaust system on it meaning that parts are available off the shelf. Loads of 2.0s are the same.

no idea, does anyone sell them off the shelf.
also would say a GSI bore to be restrictive for a 20XE

i think it already has the correct bore, it also have a 4 > 1 mainifold from what i remba
i think it would just need a backbox, i guess u cant just get a corsa gsi fitment one and have it welded on for instance

i have a modded xe manifold goin onto a janspeed stainless system (i think its janspeed). i would find out which system it has on it and get 1 to match, or if its repairable, get the rear box re welded

i think it has just been made up, looked to me like a 4 > 1 into a straight through pipe with 2 or 3 welds on the way then the backbox
its all secure and completely sealed, not a bodge but the backbox deff needs to be replaced as part of the silencer and literally split open
kinda like this [ /
altho in the centre of the silencer

so a 2.25" bore is the correct/ perfect size for an XE
can they customise it to litterally anything you say, wouldnt mind it sounding like my current gsi
