206 Gti 180 Exhaust

[Pebbles167]

Recently bought a Peugeot 206 Gti 180, and noticed the back box is in bad shape. It's pretty rusty and unsightly and looks pathetic. Also, it's far too quiet and gives off a wheezy sound. 


Looking about it would seem all aftermarket replacements are very expensive new, and very scarce as second hand. As I'd rather not spend a fortune on a box for what was a pretty cheap car, I was wondering if there is a way around this. My thoughts were possibly swapping the exhaust from the cat back, for one from a Gti 140, as these are much more readily available. Would it even be possible to bodge on a box from a completely different model? The distance isn't far. I have no idea what's compatible, and my usual advice circles are pretty slow to respond on the matter. 

Any advice would be much appreciated. 

Regards,

well.... you can make anything fit.... i dont know if the 140 and 180 exhausts are different but they cant be too different so could probably be bodged.

I'm always up for a good bodge!

As this is a duplicate of a post on a few other forums, I've been informed a 140 cat back won't fit due to different suspension set up.

I might just put on a bit of straight pipe with a crome tip from the centre section.

What are your thoughts on the 180? I love mine.

I think it's great. Not as good as a Gti6, clio 172/182, 106 gti or 205 gti perhaps, but still a good hot hatch.

Get one made up at somewhere like Longlife?

Got a really decent exhaust manufacturer near me, infinity. Pretty sure their quote will be in the region of £200 - 300. I'd rather not spend that much, but if I have to I have to I guess. I might even get a Scorpion or Janspeed.
