Hi all,

Want a new back box, but for looks over noise/performance. I dont mind a small ammount of grunt, but i DON'T want loud at all.

So, idea's on what to get ?

I would ideally like a 6x4 oval or a twin square/maybe round.

Magnex looks like the way forward.

Cheapest place to buy ?

Magnex are a quality brand that come standard on alot of expensive cars..

I didnt say they were bad quality, but loads of corsa's in my area have oval exhausts of some kind.

Guess i just wanted to be different, but that often means suffering in another area (looks/noise etc).

Think in going to settle for the Magnex oval, smaller than 6x4, i think its 5x3 ?

Ive been told corsa's have problems with the fitment of them, knocking on suspension, is this true ?

Billy bolt on ? since when did i mention that ? I said i wanted a nice tip, which in my case would have meant removing the existing tail piece and welding on the desired item, however i have since gone off the idea, i want a proper job.

I in no way meant magnex were crap, but in my area almost every corsa thats modified has one
