    Default Probably shoulda researched more

    As some of you know, i had problems with my exhaust when i bought it, like the fact it was for a Mk2

    Anyway, if i'd have read the FAQ before i bought it i woulda thought twice.
    The listing if for a SR/GTE Sport Box Single 3" Stainless Steel Tail Pipe

    FAQ's:
    First off:
    will this fit a 1.2 merit? - yes

    Then:
    If this fits a 1.2 merit, then why does it stae that it is for an sr/gte nova? -
    it will not fit the standard nova, only SR or GTE

    Then:

    is this the o/e rear box of a nova sport? - yes the gte version

    A Nova Sport GTE

    Ashley exhausts suck

    I don't understand a word of your post, Except the last bit, Ashley exhausts are actually pretty good.

    They're exhausts are yeah, but they don't seem to get things right.

    I bought a backbox from them listed as SR/GTE so Mk1. When i get it, I see it's a Mk2. And by reading the FAQ's off their site you can tell they don't get things right.

    Where they exit.
    Mk1 is over to the left almost in the corner but the Mk2 one comes straight out.

    You can notice the problem on my car:



    Edit: That's the Mk2 exhaust i "bought" on my Mk1

    Swap that SR for my Spin? Will also give you a 1.6 16valve C16XE engine with my car, SRi interior spare tailgate and wings

    Edit: Will let you keep the back box so you can put it on a MK2
