I've been searching around tinterweb for a backbox for my 2 door saloon soon to be running a c16se, i have a 4 branch, i will be buying the nova hatch decat pipe and center section.
What backbox can i fit ? ive been told that a performance hatch backbox will need extending, also that there is no on the shelf performance backboxes for a saloon.

Was thinking of a cherrybomb with a nice 2" Rolled tip if thats the case then i will be running a cat, would it be a case of chopping the joiner on the original backbox and welding it to the cherrybomb and making some brackets ?

Any help appreciated and some pics would be good

I have a nice janspeed exhaust for a saloon, 2" rolled round tip.

I would sell it for the right money as going c20xe so will have a custom stainless steel large bore exhaust made for it.

Simply extend the tailpipe. A normal hatch one will fit fine, but as the tailpipe will be short the noise will come through the boot and p!ss you off (speaking from experience here lol)

I fitted a gsi Magnex and cut the tailpipe off and welded on about about 300mm of 2'' pipe with a down swept diesel style tailpipe

I have a mild steel GSI/GTE backbox on my saloon with the tail pipe exteneded. I used a 2" outward rolled tip from a Citroen Picasso. Cheap, looks the part and has a raspy bark that seems to suit the car.
