Branded or Universal Back Box? - MRiches - 24-07-2013
Just want a quick census on which I should go for.
In the process of maybe or maybe not buying a second hand sportex back box from Pugmarshall. "PERFORMANCE BACK BOX EXHAUST BP51" Firstly would it be an easy fit to my 1.8 XS as the website says "306 07/1997-2001 2.0i XSi / GTi-6 / S16 Hatchback" ? Asking price is very reasonable considering the brand but don't want to get if it doesn't fit
OR
If Universal back boxes are fine. For example:

Cheaper as you would expect for universal stuff but are they decent or a pile of wank? I'm looking more for just a nice sound really and my current one is rusted to shit.
Cheers.

Universal stuff might not fit without some modification. I'd keep a lookout for a decent second hand exhaust forsale. Bet if you post in the wanted section a few people will have one going.

Well if marshalls fits ill be taking that off his hands just unsure! The link I posted shows the universal comes with a pipe for fitting and a clamp so I assume it would fit?

That looks bodgetastic!
Will have to sleeve the exhaust as there will be no flange as such
Also hangers will be shit, not welded and move about/rattle a lot
Petrol/diesel boxes are diff. Petrol box on a diesel is restrictive so how have they accounted for this?
For that price you could pick up a half decent second hand bit of kit

"BRAND NEW BOXED AND COMES WITH A UNIVERSAL FITTING KIT FOR ALL ALFA ROMEO"
After the cost of having some welding done to make it fit the current exhaust system you might as well go for a second hander

Sportex stuff is really good imo. Straight fit with ni hassle. Looks good, sounds good and well made for the money.
