Hi
I had my jetex back box fitted to my corsa today and it has no sound difference, to the normal standard backbox. Why is this?
Also my exhaust is sitting more on the left hand side, i was told by the garage it is because the exhaust is made for the corsa b and is made to fit the curve of the rear bumper?
Is this true? Or is he lying to me?
Any help would be greatful please.
Cheers.

getting the midbox taken out makes it louder, and also sometime you have to wait for them to settle in

The tailpipes dont really make an awful difference not at these pressures.
The backbox itself wont make much of a sound difference. As said removing the middle box and replacing it with a straight pipe will make it alot louder. Decat pipe, louder still.
The way its positioned is a common problem with Corsa and Nova exhausts, any garage with basic tools should be able to make it fit straight to be honest... rarely an extra bit of pipe may be required.

Give it a few weeks, it should get a bit more of a tone once it has carboned up a bit.
