Okay, I've only been driving for 2 weeks, but for 2 weeks, I've been driving a LOT.
I've got a 1.2 1999 Corsa B and all the engine is standard - apart from the drilled AirBox. However, I hit a speedbump a bit hard with 4 lads in the car the other night and now my exhaust is rattling and knocking against the rear beam.
I took the car to an STS garage and they had it up on the ramp and told me I will need a new back box as there is a split in my standard one!
What are my options?
Can I still drive the car?
And I would like to take this opportunity to upgrade to an aftermarket sports back box and maybe a centre section...
What would you guys recommend? Is this going to cost much?
Thanks very much, Joe.

Just drive it for just now, not gonna cause any damage - just a bit of noise and perhaps an increase in fuel consumption...
Probably a good time to throw a stainless back box on if your box is shafted, that is if you're going down the modifying route

Any good?
I can't afford much and I can't have it ridiculously loud!
Thanks!

Please, could anyone advise on this back box as I don't feel comfortable driving the car the way it is now!
Will it affect the reliability of the engine?
Thanks, Joe.
