Hey,

Not been on this site for a few years now.

But bought a new coorsa last night, a little black corsa b sxi (if any one cares) for the missus.

Any way when we was testing it the back box tail pipe seems to knock on the back bumber (something or notthing so bought the car any way) just woundered if any one else had had this problem and knows how to stop it!

thanks

lots of people cut the rear bumper to make more room for the backbox, alternatively, you could get more rigid exhaust hangers so it doesn't move as much.

edit: you can cut the rear bumper without it being obvious to look at also

mine is the standard sport exhaust and i tapped on the rear bumper until i sorted it with the above methods.

an aftermarket backbox is even more likely to rattle tbh.

A standard back box I had fitted at Stapeltons was doing this. Took it back and they then decided to tell me the rubbers had perished, so it might just need 2 new rubbers. Not expensive at all, and you could probably fit yourself.
