I was given a back box from my mates for my 18th, its a universal stainless stell bullet from essex racing. can be seen on their site www.essexracing.co.uk.
Had it fitted all good at 2xtreme. jus took it to quickfit to get new tyres and bloke said it added bhp!!! bearin in mind this is only a back box and is 4.5 at the end round but has the same size pipe goin in as original jus its baffled to beef it up in the noise department, he also sed i shud have it sound checked as may b illegal, but a flippin subaru standard is louder than this. i did wonder at first but then he came out wit the de badgin as an insurance unfriendly mod!!!! muppet i say, but jus to clear it up in case i get insurance on my back is it addin bhp. (1.2 16v corsa c SXi)
Cheers Dan

lol mate no need to worry, my zorst on my Corsa C SRi is LOUD as fcuk, sets off car alarms lol, but it has no centre section...back box will not make any difference to bhp tbh, but its always best to declare mods to ur ins. comp to save u gettin in trouble.

mate dont decat it..ur cat is bolted onto ur manifold so will be a hard job. I have removed my centre silencer and put in a straight pipe...cost £60 to do and now my exhaust is really loud, have a think first if u want it done as I regret it a bit now, but too skint to get sumfin else.

ok will think, does gettin a straight pipe make it fail mot? is there not a way of fittin a bigger bore of silencer so its not as loud as a straight but still bit beefier than wot i got, jus needs to be that fraction louder for the tone im wantin
