open up the flanges on it with hammer and chisel, then it shud come off, but cutting it will be quicker IMO

was it a universal fit box or one for the corsa?
could just be a case of swapping the left & right rubbers or using the centre hole in them instead of the ones on the edge
just dont do what I did once & do it sooo tight that it pushed against the rear bumper & melted it

ooooh also just slacken off the clampso its free to move, then do the rubbers at the back, get it in position & tighten up clamp, sometimes helps a hell of alot doing it that way

nah usually the end of the lil supports on the backbox have bits bent down
-----\
something like that, txt is shite to draw in so usually they stick on through that, plus when the rubbers are attached to the mounts on the rear of the car & the clips are on, they dont move much as the backbox cant slide back cos of the system
dont use cable ties, they might melt aswell!
when I had a rage box (universal one) I had to weld on a bolt to the fitting plate which was sposed to be for the corsa, never was right though!
TBH only decent fit I got was from a peco BB2 exhaust I had on once, and no it wasnt as bad a box as people say!

Your meant to heat one part of the exhaust so that the metal expands, hence it slips off easy.
