Hello people,

Just about to get a nice bonus from work so im considering an exhaust (backbox) for the wagon,

Im thinking a 3.5" inch one, so which make to go for? and where from?

I want it to sound deep rather than high and raspy.

Also other suggestions welcome.

Halfords order exhausts from decent suppliers...magnex is probs the best system!

Quality, easiest of all to fit and not OTT...the 3.5" stainless cat-back is probs one of the best corsa systems!

Try Longlife Jez, stainless steel, made to measure and lifetime warranty.

When I was at their branch in Swansea yesterday, a guy came in with a 1.2 Corsa - quoted £159 fitted, with a standard 2" pipe.

I have a 2" on mine, most people on here go for 3", which IIRC is an extra £20.

Hope that helps mate

Go custom

You decide, on how loud you want it, how you want it to sit, and what tip you want (oval, how big etc)

tbh, go for a ashley full system, prob cheaper than a magnex back box, and they dont even sound that deep. (magnex) Ashley or super sprint

For a backbox off the shelf isnt a bad choice either ive had magnex, sebring and blueflame and couldnt fault any for sound, quality or fitment.

Once the old box was off (hardest bit) they slipped straight on


Got them all from ebay and on here too so they were nice and cheap. Anything stainless isnt really an issue second hand
