As above, made the mistake of racing a saxo earlier and could barely beat it (pretty bad considering it says 1.1i) got home and my exhaust sounds louder and different...?

I hope its not too expensive

Edit: it was a sleeper am sure, took my mate out in it (plus I let him drive it I know what was I thinking ) and he said it definately feels a bit quicker than his

exhaust sections are cheap as chips for the corsa... expecially if you fit it yourself

will definatly make a difference on preformance if its blowing alot

Christ you could have 3 wheels and a Square and still leave a 1.1i standing My guess is, it's not a 1.1 anymore!

Depends. If it has a hole right at the front and its being held on by a 1mm of rust - then maybe but it shouldnt be that much tbh!
