1.8 Exhaust Backbox Required

The Rovering Member · 28th July 2020, 20:05

I'm in need of the above. I would prefer the original out of sight item. What are my options, are they still available?

This one seems to fit the bill but l wonder about the quality of these aftermarket items:

A friend came down the garage a month or so ago with one of these from eBay, the hanger arm had come away, poor quality if I’m honest, however others might have had other/better experiences

Thanks Mick. I must say, l'm tempted to see if mine will weld up. The original weld has broken where the pipe enters the box. It's not blowing but it's allowing the box to move & hit the bodywork which l've cured temporarily with a block of wood jammed between the box & the rail on the underside.

I know people who have had the klarius backbox fitted and seem to find it ok, obviously not double skinned so not as good as our originals but better than some junk on the market.
I’ve added a link to it on eBay if that helps mate

Cheers Mick. I'm going to see a mate on Saturday who might be able to do something with mine but if not then l'll order one of these.

By the way, l bought a new two silencer main pipe from a forum member a few years back but it looks to me that it's for the 1.8 turbo as the N/A ones for sale seem to have one silencer. Will the two box fit my car?
