Yana Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) I'm getting a new backbox soon as mine is pretty much dead. I saw on europerformance.co.uk a little while ago that Piper did a 3" mild steel inward rolled backbox but that seems to have disappeared. Only the 1.8 seems to have it now, not the 1.6. Could anyone tell me if this will fit? If not, guess I'll have to go with the outward rolled... Linky Edited January 25, 2008 by Yana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluliz Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'd personnaly give mild steel a miss if your going to be spending money on a non standard box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yana Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yeah I'd prefer to have stainless steel but its all money ain't it... not sure what to do. Got some people saying its not worth it as it'll outlive the car etc etc, then others saying go for stainless steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my cup of tea LOL the only tip for the escort is... Single squared Oval 83mm x 67mm Tail Pipe 'Single G' Which is a nice size. TBH if you think thats too big....just get a GTI backbox.

Ohhh sorry I didn't see the other size, saw 120x90 and closed it straight away. My bad.. Yeah thats a good size, about 3.25 inchs. Don't really want anything bigger than that tbh. Btw, those exhausts are exactly the same as Piper ones, Mild steel boxes with stainless tail pipes. It's either that or full stainless, box & pipe. cat back system mate, 4" Cheers reid, that's abit too big. Thanks anyways mate. Anyways, anyone know if the 1.8 backbox will fit my 1.6?

Trig Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) have a look at pics of my car Yana, i have the exhaust on mine that reid is selling, and its quality, doesnt look too big, nice sound, stainless, and Reid's is a good price. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b81/trig_112/GTi/new%20years%20day/01012008124.jpghttp://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b81/trig_112/GTi/new%20years%20day/01012008125.jpg Edited January 25, 2008 by trig_112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluliz Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yeah i have just re read that. i could have sworn the powermasters were SS....hmmm Anyways, anyone know if the 1.8 backbox will fit my 1.6? I has to have a custom hanger made up for my 1.6 when i had a magnex fitted. Thats the most you will need to have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yana Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Ok cheers man. Oh, I'm going stainless now Just popped down my mates garage, he measured the bore to be 45mm. Here's what it says on europerformance: Additional Notes:# Please Quote Bore Size Of System: 105Bhp Engine (01/95-10/97) = 48Mm, 115Bhp Engine (09/95-10/96) = 52Mm & 115Bhp Engine (10/96-10/97) =48Mm. Fits Only Manual Hatchbacks. I assume that'll fit then? (105Bhp Engine (01/95-10/97) = 48Mm) If not, I'll just go with the outward rolled one... not much difference to be honest.

Yana Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Bump. Anyone know? Ordering over the weekend so some good confirmation will be really appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 urs is the 88BHP engine (90PS) thinking 48mm will be the correct size but i never knew the bore changed from engine to engine and year to year. I thought all mk6 zetec exhausts were the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
