Backbox, But not really...

[silver surfer]

most factory exhausts are one piece now a days .i work at vw dealer and we just cut the system and replace the bit thats had it and that means front ,middle or rear

 

[gazjones]

there are markings on the exhaust where to cut the original exhaust it put on before the rear suspension but less joines means less chance of it rusting. any back box for an ibiza mk4 will fit as the route it goes is the same so if you got a milltek cat back with right size reducer onto your cat all is good and it should sound better. took me 2o mins to cut through my old exhaust with junior hacksaw but ver simple job to do!

Hmmmm interesting, I did check milltek (very nice exhausts) but they only had Cupra and Fr, So if i buy one of them, and then get a reducer, it'll fit perfect???
Now just to find a reducer?

 

[gazjones]

there is no reason it wont might reduce back pressure a bit as its only a 1.4 but it will physically fit i would think as cat back is the same length and shape on all the cars

 

[rashcupra]

what and a masive 5" backbox wont

 

[gazjones]

yea know what you mean but thats reason they dont list them for 1.4 no designed to work on that engine to give performance gain

 

[rashcupra]

i had a 5" tailpipe on my rover 25 was so loud and had no back pressure so even slower

 

[Scully]

So rashcupra u dont thin k i should get one then?

 

[rashcupra]

if i had a 1.4 again and wanted a sportyer sound than standard and a suttle look than standard and probably better performance than standard id go for a cupra of fr rear box! will look better and sound a bit better and not 1 tone poo!

 

[Scully]

yeah I think Ill order a Cupra back box?
Do you reckon seat would fit it?

 

[Nath.]

yeah they would but they will also lighten your wallet

 

[Scully]

Im sure it cant be that much...
Cause the Cutting, and possibly welding i'd rather let them do it?

 

[gazjones]

50 quid an hour and one hour at least plus new cupra back box is gonna be kaching

 

[Nath.]

I don't think that stealers normally have wealding equipment

go to an exhaust fitters mate they have all the tools and will do it in no time, even if the stealers do it the warranty on your exhaust will be void

 

[Scully]

HMMM maybe Kwik fit

 

[rashcupra]

get it done at a local garage you trust and have heard good comments about! will be cheaper than the STEALers kwick fit are normally a bunch of no nothing monkeys!
