#1: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: timolevs, Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 9:01 am ---- MOT advises I change my back box, and don't want to put another stock one on as they look rubbish as they point down
But I have been struggling to find after market ones that aren't way too over the top, just want a smart oval/circle tailpipe
Any suggestions? What have people used on their 1.4 HDI's ??

Does anybody have a picture of one of these Bosal back box's on their car??

#7: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: timolevs, Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 5:10 pm ---- That is a vast improvement on my current one!
Now do I resist the temptation to buy a nice shiny new stainless de-cat aha

Depends, I guess.
From an insurance point of view, one is undoubtedly a modification, the other was an optional extra and could easily pass as standard.
The stainless route will probably be 10x the cost too.

There was a slight increase in noise (very little tbh) but it looks a lot better than the pointy downy one!
The backbox will be coming off soon, to be replaced with just a straight thru pipe with a tip added. Decat will appear after that!

I've read that they sound different to a petrol due to the way the exhaust works ..
