Im lookig for pics of a sportex back box on a mk 1 nova. I need to see what the fittment is like and if it fits in the exhaust cutout on the bumper. It is the same part no for the mk2 and mk1 bumper.

Any info would be great.

cool looks quite good. it was the exhaust with the 3" tail pipe i was looking at which I think may be a different silencer box from yours.

how does yours sound? do you have the centre section with the resonator box or without?

I cant see how they can list the same part number for the gte and gsi. The hanger has to be in a different position

i have back centre and front pipe, not the 4 branch manifold.
my centre section has a resonator box and it reily loud but can be quiet when you gently drive around
i will record it tomorrow for you if you wish.
dunno about the difference is between gte and gsi as i have early sr

yeah that would be good. I think id rather the normal spout if it sounded good. Especialy if i knew it fitted without bugering about with it.
