Yo dude, thanks to this video. I changed my own backbox and saved labour costs, plus my Corsa got through it's MOT because of this video. Thanks for the tutorial.
great video again ! when I changed my corsa c backbox my exhaust was that rusty under the clamp when I pulled the back box some of the centre pipe came with it so I had to go and get it welded haha ! I also had a hornet exhaust on mine they will sound a touch louder after a few weeks my exhaust seemed to 'bed in' and get a little bit more raspier
The centre section on mine I changed when I got the car a year ago, so I didn't have that issue! Lol ah really? I did wonder if it would get a little quieter after a while that's actually a good thing to hear as it drones quite loud, thanks for watching and commenting matr
Thanks for sharing. Think I'm going to fit one of these to my Tigra B 1.4. Just need to know if it's nice loud in the cabin, or annoying loud. Purrs really nicely on your SXI. Would be nice to hear it at higher RPM from the cabin.
Just changed my center section (standard) and put a new back box on, I'm thinking of getting this back box but don't want it to sound too loud, is it loud or not ?
You raised a pretty good point to be honest; I own a Corsa C 1.2 SXI as well and I've wanted to fit a back box for a while but the opinions of others are a little too inhospitable for my liking. People just seem to be rather annoyed when people have loud cars, especially when they are small engined :D despite it being their personal choice. Regardless, another great video and I'm still surprised your channel is still 'relatively' small; you deserve far more support than you have because your videos are great quality, informative and straight to the point with a friendly personality behind them! P.S. I take it you live in the north? ;)
Hello mate, i know you posted this a while back, i just wondered if you could tell me if your exhaust came with all the fixtures (clamps bolts gasket etc) included or not? Cheers dude! And great video :)
Thinking of doing this to my Astra, I’m only looking for a nice deep purr and not a stupid loud noise. What’s it like when driving and at high revs ? Thanks
Hi mate. I just purchased the same back box for the corsa 1.0l sxi. Did you use the exhaust back box clamps from your original one... How was it after a little drive round???
i went with a decat manifold straight through mid section. and a twin hornet cherry bomb. i welded a performance resonator into the mid pipe. and the thing sounds mint. along with my induction kit and remap it spits and pops. and for a 1.2 it doesnt pull bad at all
i bought asr induction kit off ebay and the remap i got done at castle coombe near bristol they do live remap and do a road map round the track. costs alot but luckily im friendly with one of the lads down there and got it on the cheap cheap. makes 96bhp. also i installed an oil catch can. i found my engine was pumping alot of oil through the inlet and causing a flat spot at low revs. i blanked off both the maifold and the inlet pipe. and then re-routed them into a catch tank. that helped alot with throttle response. i also specified on my remap to run it slightly rich on over run to make it pop and crackle. but not enough to bore-wash the cylinders. plus its completely stripped and various handeling upgrades. so drives mint www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ash-Vauxhall-Corsa-C-1-0-1-2-16V-Petrol-Induction-Filter-Kit-/290805689651?hash=item43b55ead33:m:mJHQMhjnKqzbK8eMtOlCi4Q
i was always told not to jack in the center of the axle as there is risk of bowing it i was always told to jack up from the end of the axle or a different jack point (jack point on seals normally) whats peoples experience on this please also would you be able to supply a link to one that has all the brackets like this one please
I've just put a Hoffmann cat back system 3" rolled tip on my mk4 astra 1.6 looks exactly the same as that lol. I regretted it cuz it was crazy loud but it's calmed right down now either that or I'm used to it.
I'll be either using a Hornet Back Box or a Cherry Bomb one, and I've read that it's illegal to purposefully make your exhaust system louder. I've got an Astra Mk 4 1.4 16v,. does it sound good, and have you had any complaints?
Is this still a UK legal exhaust? As in this is not a decat still has one built in? Am quite a novice to cars lol just I'm looking at getting a 3"hornet backbox
Not related but can anyone give me advise on timing chain recently bought a Corsa c 1.4 it's on 78k and have no history of the chain being done when should I get it looked and how bad is the noise when they start to go lol. Cheers
If the back box pipe is pushed as far as it can go into the middle section pipe the seal should be tight enough that paste isn't needed. It's more of a peace of mind thing, for the sake of about £6 extra it's always a good idea to get some silicone stuff and apply it.
Hallo mate! I like your videos! Just want to ask you i have the corsa c 52 plate 1,2 sxi 16v, and i want to know how to check is it twinport or not ? Any idea? Thank you!
hey man. good videos. i have a vauxhall corsa 1.2 2006. i just recently bought. however there is a slight issue with the headunit. The headunit still remains turned on when the ignition is off. do u know what the cause of this problem is. the headunit does randomly switched to fm radio when a cd is playing. and randomly turns on when ignition is off. it occasionly goes to mute. please help.
dude im having a lot of trouble getting the back box pipe from the rest of exhaust pipe and i dont have no angle grinder oh and the back box is broken off pipe
Your car cannot fail an MOT on the volume of the exhaust - It can, however, fail an MOT if it's not fitted properly and there are leaks etc. However, it will not fail on how loud it is; although, please bear in mind though that if you're sitting in a public place revving the nuts of your car you'll probably be charged with public disturbance or for being a nuisance. Other than that, you'll be fine!
where are you from i recognise the accent, also are these sxi's nippy im thinking of getting one as my first car in a couple months as they are cheap as chips to buy and insure and itll be the sxi i look to get if i do
I have this on my Corsa, full race pipe from manifold too and it's way too f*cking loud, sounds good but cars not fast enough for it, I'm more sure the police will make me change a hornet exhaust. I'd advise backbox only, they're loud but not too loud :)
Wango So something like this would be fine? My car just sound not right for me, I want something that'll remove the higher frequencies of the engine sound and make it sound just...better. Something like this would do I think, so, thanks!
I like the backbox with standard pipe, it quietens down after a few miles is loud and sporty but not overly loud (always had a filter with mine) but the whole system including the race pipe without the silencer is barbaric. I don't even go by 60 because it's that loud but with the standard pipe (inc silencer) and backbox, it sounds sporty and it shifts fairly quick and can easily catch things up. My advice is backbox and filter over the whole system. After all it's a deep throaty sound and not high pitched at all. The full system sounds like a VXR and loves to pop and crackle, even the backbox loves a good old crackle when being steady but if you want something nice, loudish and deep, this maybe for you
my hornet backbox on my clio sounded the nuts but the bracket and fitment of it meant it went through rubber hangars like nobodies business and hung lower than my dads ballsack. in the end i just took it off and gave it away
i cut out the centre box on my 1.0 just and i have to say it sounds decent. kind of need it cause i have no rev counter ahaha. check it out i have a video on my channel of her.
SorahFx it comes with a clip for hanging it, a bracket to secure it and a tapered pipe that allows two different diameter exhaust pipes to join smoothly. Only thing you need is maybe the exhaust bonding paste but I don't think it's totally needed. Take the parts to a local garage etc, I got mine fitted for £30 and it took less than an hour mate
Not a special clamp. It's standard. If anything, cars have been using these for a long time. Newer ones - ie 90s used a different type to steer away from these. Interesting the Nova C uses old technology. Placing the jack as a safety is not going to do anything. Car rolls forward or back, it's off the axle stands and the jack will no go into the fuel tank or body. Leaving in gear should help.
You cut the old silencer off and replace it with the one he had, its perfectly legal aslong as it doesn't go over a certain decibel reading, which they've got covered
Can get these off amazon and eBay for like £60-70 would recommend buying the ones with brackets as they are easier to install. Had one of these with a ram air induction kit on my sxi. Fucking insurance company bollocksed me so I had to remove everything ffs

Look forward to the lowering Spring guide as I need to do mine also on my Corsa 1.8
Sounds much better! sounds smooth! might get one for my 1.0 Corsa C :D
@Bradley Dickson I got one on my corsa c 1.0 3cyl sounds pretty decent
Thanks for sharing. Think I'm going to fit one of these to my Tigra B 1.4. Just need to know if it's nice loud in the cabin, or annoying loud. Purrs really nicely on your SXI. Would be nice to hear it at higher RPM from the cabin.
Got myself one of these back boxes, looking forward to fitting it 👍
Just changed my center section (standard) and put a new back box on, I'm thinking of getting this back box but don't want it to sound too loud, is it loud or not ?
Avi Dhanji I might as well
Thanks for video I'm changing mine to a twin IRMSCHER back box from a single sxi box
Seems easy enough, ill be coming back to this video and using it as a reference.
Hi mate,
Enjoying your videos. Any chance you could do a 'how to' for changing front coil springs?
Nice and straight forward......sounds nice ....2 yrs and you put everything back to stock eh :)
You raised a pretty good point to be honest; I own a Corsa C 1.2 SXI as well and I've wanted to fit a back box for a while but the opinions of others are a little too inhospitable for my liking.

fuck what people think ,most the world hates bmw drivers but people still buy bmws ... :)
you have the best lanyard going 😁😁
Nice vid bud. We've captured the Corsa C repair market lol
Thanks mate! I just got done watching your axle replacement vids! Good stuff :) appreciate the comment
I saw you like boqer123 (Josh James) from your lanyard just like to say I appreciate you a lot now

Good vid man :)
Does it make any difference to the corsas performance? Speed, torque or anything? And did it effect fuel economy at all (using less or more fuel)?
Would this make much of a difference on a diesel Corsa
Hello mate, Just a quick question i am looking at this exhaust but the whole straight pipe system and was wondering if you know if it will fit or not?
Are you able to put the standard one back on when you sell it? or would I need to weld it?
Nice exhaust bud just need a decent pod filter now ;)
i went with a decat manifold straight through mid section. and a twin hornet cherry bomb. i welded a performance resonator into the mid pipe. and the thing sounds mint. along with my induction kit and remap it spits and pops. and for a 1.2 it doesnt pull bad at all
What induction kit did you get? And where did you get it remapped?
i bought asr induction kit off ebay
and the remap i got done at castle coombe near bristol they do live remap and do a road map round the track. costs alot but luckily im friendly with one of the lads down there and got it on the cheap cheap. makes 96bhp. also i installed an oil catch can. i found my engine was pumping alot of oil through the inlet and causing a flat spot at low revs. i blanked off both the maifold and the inlet pipe. and then re-routed them into a catch tank. that helped alot with throttle response. i also specified on my remap to run it slightly rich on over run to make it pop and crackle. but not enough to bore-wash the cylinders. plus its completely stripped and various handeling upgrades. so drives mint

I can't get the back box off I un-did the bolt from the clamp but the clamp doesn't seem to be any looser
Is this still a UK legal exhaust? As in this is not a decat still has one built in? Am quite a novice to cars lol just I'm looking at getting a 3"hornet backbox
How much was the exhaust sounds good not to loud
Could you do the same with an Astra mk4 sxi? With the same style exhaust
Can you tell me where you got the new exhaust
Oi oi love that bqr lanyard
nice man! personally i reckon thats to big for a little car like that.. 2.75 is the max i go with little hatchbacks.. but still sick :)
Pointless u need to rev and show us mate
Would this fit a 05 plate corsa 1.4 petrol?
Anyone know if these come premade to fit a colt??? if not I can just weld my own mounts
fitting mine to day
where did you buy the back box got a url?
whats the size of the nut that has to be turned off?
How much louder was it ?
Not related but can anyone give me advise on timing chain recently bought a Corsa c 1.4 it's on 78k and have no history of the chain being done when should I get it looked and how bad is the noise when they start to go lol. Cheers
silicon grease spray is what you want to use on the rubbers
Sweet vid. I always thought you needed to use exhaust joint paste when changing exhaust sections, does this not require it?
I had the same thought.
If the back box pipe is pushed as far as it can go into the middle section pipe the seal should be tight enough that paste isn't needed. It's more of a peace of mind thing, for the sake of about £6 extra it's always a good idea to get some silicone stuff and apply it.
This the same with 1.0s?
how you manage to buy it so it fits your car perfectly? i want one for a corsa d
@Kieran Rice cant find one for my car on ebay?
nice video helpful thanks
hi will this exhaust fit a vectra c 1.8
Hallo mate!
I like your videos!
Just want to ask you i have the corsa c 52 plate 1,2 sxi 16v,
and i want to know how to check is it twinport or not ?
Any idea?
Thank you!
Twin ports are 53 onwards :)
where can I get one that fits a mazda 323f 1999
hey man.
good videos.
i have a vauxhall corsa 1.2 2006.
i just recently bought. however there is a slight issue with the headunit. The headunit still remains turned on when the ignition is off. do u know what the cause of this problem is. the headunit does randomly switched to fm radio when a cd is playing. and randomly turns on when ignition is off. it occasionly goes to mute. please help.
+Usman Rabbani, I know what the problem is and I'll tell you. You're problem is a Corsa 1.2 2006 ;-D
is changing the whole exhaust tricky? can you do it from just a hand jack?
Not Advisable !! Get at least 1 axle stand, and a trolley jack. (Even if you have to borrow them). Don't take chances under your motor !! :)
nice one, easy enough
Thankyou!
👌👌👌👌
dude im having a lot of trouble getting the back box pipe from the rest of exhaust pipe and i dont have no angle grinder oh and the back box is broken off pipe
it very good how can i do to keep one ..thk you
sourd gd bud hope you do the full system
Great video! Ive been wanting a backbox like this for my C, do you know if it passes mot?
Your car cannot fail an MOT on the volume of the exhaust - It can, however, fail an MOT if it's not fitted properly and there are leaks etc. However, it will not fail on how loud it is; although, please bear in mind though that if you're sitting in a public place revving the nuts of your car you'll probably be charged with public disturbance or for being a nuisance. Other than that, you'll be fine!
+The Real Cerberus actually mot states an exhaust system cannot be over a certain decibel if they deem it to loud it's a fail
Link to buy one?
Nice channel
yess James thanks for the awesome content as always and listening to my suggestions ;) The Savage Garage and they're the Sri wheels
Nice vid mate, just about to get one myself. Is there any difference in power? I know its only 1.2 but why not sounds good looks good.
When is the next video coming out mate been a month now
Would this fit a 13 plate corsa d 1.2 the limited edition type 👍
No, they’re custom made to each car. Go on Hornet exhausts eBay page and have a look on there
c similar to corsa D??
Is the heatshield above your Corsa's backbox missing?
I'll be honest mate I didn't know they were supposed to have one?
Would it be the exact same on a corsa d ?
Eoin O' Connell did u get this for ur corsa d if so did it go straight on
are these mot passable ? if so are the full system MOT passable have emailed the company but haven't emailed back thanks
Gameplay 92 yeh its passable because it just a backbox. if its been de catted the it could fail.
Are they 2 tonne or 3 tonne axle stands?
Joe Loughlin they’re 2 tonne ones from halfords, the 3 tonne ones have slightly different feet on them
Hi, I haven't found it on Ebay. Can you please send me a full name or link to buy it.
Thanks
Search cherry bomb exhaust i see alot of them on corsas
where are you from i recognise the accent, also are these sxi's nippy im thinking of getting one as my first car in a couple months as they are cheap as chips to buy and insure and itll be the sxi i look to get if i do
I have an sxi, love it! Very nippy in the lower gears, as expected from a 1.2, clutch is great for stock.
I was thinking Sussex.
What happened to the other car you were doing? Not seen it in a video for a while
I'll be uploading a video this week explaining the situation with thay
Yeah It's good, n it's not too loud
I'm trying to find something like this for my DS3. How do I know which one to buy? And does stuff like this turn a driver into a, ahem, 'Ricer'?
I have this on my Corsa, full race pipe from manifold too and it's way too f*cking loud, sounds good but cars not fast enough for it, I'm more sure the police will make me change a hornet exhaust. I'd advise backbox only, they're loud but not too loud :)

anywhere for sale still? can't find it anywhere :(
Hornet back box, corsa c ebay
what is the back box called?
Wzrrd Hornet
my hornet backbox on my clio sounded the nuts but the bracket and fitment of it meant it went through rubber hangars like nobodies business and hung lower than my dads ballsack. in the end i just took it off and gave it away
anyone has a link for it
where did you go you haven't uploaded in weeks
When's the next video :)
I want this, how do I buy it? I ’m from Taiwan
Ebay
Do backboxes fiddle about with anything that could lead to a MOT failure, especially with the new regulations that are coming in?
Nah not atg all mate, providing its mounted properly and doesnt have holes in!
i cut out the centre box on my 1.0 just and i have to say it sounds decent. kind of need it cause i have no rev counter ahaha. check it out i have a video on my channel of her.
can you please provide a link from where you bought this exhaust?
Think its hornet exhausts, just go on ebay, I don't think they have a dedicated website. That's where I got mine brand new
Did yours come with the welded brackets ready to fit?
SorahFx it comes with a clip for hanging it, a bracket to secure it and a tapered pipe that allows two different diameter exhaust pipes to join smoothly. Only thing you need is maybe the exhaust bonding paste but I don't think it's totally needed. Take the parts to a local garage etc, I got mine fitted for £30 and it took less than an hour mate
bqr lanyard spotted fellow bmxer??!!
almost there next year pvs
Is that a bqr 123 lanyard I can see? :)
Absolutely! got a tshirt and a phone case too for my birthday :) well spotted!
Awesome man! Happy belated Birthday :)
Where's the vids man?
Have you stopped filming videos altogether!?!?!????
it seems right
why didn't you rev the car ??????
i think to this dude that was classed as revving lol
Not a special clamp. It's standard. If anything, cars have been using these for a long time. Newer ones - ie 90s used a different type to steer away from these. Interesting the Nova C uses old technology. Placing the jack as a safety is not going to do anything. Car rolls forward or back, it's off the axle stands and the jack will no go into the fuel tank or body.
Leaving in gear should help.

Hey are u ok.... you not done a vid for a while??
Hopefully he's making lots of vids to upload at one time 👍🏼
👍🏻👍🏻
i don't know. he also stopped to answer comments since last month....
Was thinking the same myself. Hope all is well with James.
Steves Outdoors NE he usually replies not sure whats up..hope he's back soon..
Ex Iron Mountain employee?
Always take axel stands away from the side mate
Yea that was probably a stupid move
+The Savage Garage great vid tho mate as all ways
No way lol I just fitted the same back box 1 day ago lol
Thx for the awesome vids to, keep it up👌
Nice man! Haha how do you like it?
+The Savage Garage Sounds nice just the right tone low growl on my 1.2
Where do you get them from?
Is it not illegal because it does not have a silencer
You cut the old silencer off and replace it with the one he had, its perfectly legal aslong as it doesn't go over a certain decibel reading, which they've got covered
Can get these off amazon and eBay for like £60-70 would recommend buying the ones with brackets as they are easier to install. Had one of these with a ram air induction kit on my sxi. Fucking insurance company bollocksed me so I had to remove everything ffs
U didnt even rev it :(
