Hello again,
Dont know if anyone might know this but i have a 1.6i hatch and im wondering if any other rear silencer (1.8?) would fit it as due to it needing a replacement rear box and the serious lack of funds at the moment i have been looking on ebay but cant find a 1.6 box but planty of 1.8 and 2lt ones,hopefully they might work as there's a big hole in the current one after it died the other day
Exhaust rear silencer.

Ask the seller to measure the diameter of the pipe where it joins the rest of the system, measure yours, and see if its the same.
As long as the pipes match in diameter and the general layout is the same you can bodge any other fittings, hangers, etc.
The alternative is a nocturnal root through the scrap bin at your nearest fast-fit outlet, where you will find all sorts of back boxes, many in good nick, some of which can be made to fit........

According to the Bosal catalogue
http://www.catalogue.bosal.com/pages/ex ... =Hatchback
The 1.6 backbox is the same as the 1.8 8 valve and the 1.9 Diesel (non-turbo). Its different to the 1.8 16 valve and all other engines.
