mines an 8v backbox...but the car is fitted with a 16v downpipe/middle box and the exhaust took some fitting..but the 16v has a larger bore so i class this as having a larger bore sports system

rear box was £70 delivered from ebay germany!!

Indeed, the last owner (and owner from new!!!) was like a 50 year old lady, she had all the work done on it, no problems, but she replaced it with sh!t. It sounds awful. I will probably get a nice sports exhaust. Something sexy but not to chavy! :D


Hey mikester! Dont get ageist now! :laugh:
This 55 year old bloke has a cat back Magnex system! :wink: :grin:

I bet she took it to Kwik Fit for a cheap back box! Not exactly treating it well! :wink: :laugh:

The Metro was obviously more her style!
