exhaust help and advice

[dbs]

hi all,

id like to change my backbox to something  better, im after a performace backbox but i want to spend about £150/175 ive looked at some sites but i dont want to pay like 300/400 for a exhaust for a 1.6 engine, so does anyone know any companies that fabricate performance backboxes at all.

I got a golf mk3 1.6 GL

One i found says mk3 golf 1.6 gt dont know if this is any good but should be ok?http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/category_results.mhtml?category=supersprintrearexhaust&car=vwgolf3&manufacturer=supersprint&sub_category=1

A little over budget but not too much over

sorry about this hijack, but saves starting another topic.

Backbox --> as i cannot find a backbox for my mk3, is there a another backbox i could buy which is similar to my 1.4. E.g a mk2 16v or mk4 1.6, etc.
 
Really want a backbox as im getting fed up of the rusty exhaust tip on mine
Just im on a really tight budget as i didnt really plan on getting a backbox but it has to done. So i was going to get a second hand one and get a m8 down the garage to fit it. Or if not too bad, i'll have a look myself

Cheers all, any help is much appreciated.

lavylunatic....volkspares back boxes will fit yours allthough they need a reducer pipe which add's £12 to the price on top of the £85 for the backbox..

[LazyLunatic]

cheers bb, i looked underneath car and seen the piping is complex, so was wondering if any of the common back box's could be easily modified to fit??!?!?!

volkspares.co.uk?
there isnt anything on ebay apart the universal ones with fitting kits, sounds a loads of BS to me>....

what about this one... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Stainless-steel-twin-2x76-Sport-Exhaust-Golf-MK3-1400_W0QQitemZ310022150358QQihZ021QQcategoryZ38786QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247

same as volkspares (and whats fitted to mine)

[LazyLunatic]

nice one, so that is a straight swap? Dont like the price tag, but hey

Ok if i can get garage to fit one that needs modifiction (for a good price, got a m8 there), would it be just as good? I would need to get a second hand back box cheap to keep costs down.

Thanks for your help BB!

there are two types of system

There is one with a centre silencer in the centre section or there is the one with the larger centre box further back.   

The VR6, GTI 8V and 16V, and later diesels use this,  the 1.4L 1.6L and 1.8L use the other type so anything to fit them will fit directly iirc if it origonal has a single tail pipe it fits, if it had twins it wont fit.

If you plan to lower your car, then get a custom made one, will cost you bigger bucks, i am paying £350 for a custom powerflow back box and center pipe.

I have one of these unversal backbox, that was made a for mk3 golf gti. Its wank as you get, and donthang right, and if i lowered it, it would smash the axel.

cant pay for quality, and you will end up paying twice like me, already spent £150 on my exhaust, only to rip it all off and start fresh!!!
