my corsa b curently has no back box as i need a new exhaust clip as it keeps falling off. and it is drinking loads of fuel. i put in a 10er the other day done ten - 15 miles and it had gone. any ideas why. other than loss of back pressure.

It's obviously down to having no back pressure, bet performance is shit aswell?

Out of interest, what engine is it?
