#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 ??
#2: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: MrWhite, Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 12:20 pm ---- I got one for my 2.0 Hdi from sportex twin 2.5" back box for £123 delivered looks and sounds alright too
#4: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: badj, Location: WiltshirePosted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 1:18 pm ---- have a look on eurocarparts timolevs - there's a Bosal stock exhaust based on the sport trim. It says "chrome tip" in the 'details'. It's less than £40 delivered if I remember correctly.
#5: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: timolevs, Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 4:32 pm ---- Cheers badj, I will check it out.
Does anybody have a picture of one of these Bosal back box's on their car??
#6: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: badj, Location: WiltshirePosted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 5:03 pm ---- Not the best pic, but I'm 99% sure it's this one
#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.
#9: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: sxibeast, Location: Milton KeynesPosted: Tue Sep 23, 2014 5:37 am ---- I modified a 1.4 petrol Sportex backbox (3" round) onto the other halfs 1.4 HDi. It was 2" too long, but cut and welded the end back on.
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!
#10: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: timolevs, Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2014 9:19 am ---- It's not noise I'm after, it's just the appearance of the 'point downy one' is appalling
#11: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Tue Sep 23, 2014 10:02 am ---- You won't get much extra noise as it's a diesel ..
I've read that they sound different to a petrol due to the way the exhaust works ..
#12: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: timolevs, Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2014 10:23 am ---- It's all about the aesthetics
#18: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: badj, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Sep 26, 2014 6:12 am ---- Anyway, bit of a pic overload here but this should help....
Here's my sad old rusty pointy down exhaust:
Whipped off
These are just some of the rusted through parts. The 'Metallic' was used to literally squeeze it through the MOT, although in fairness it was still shocking around the central clamp too.
New link pipe from Cats2u (around £36 posted, arrived literally the next day)
New silencer arrived from CarParts4Less a bit later than I wanted (this morn) and is a Klarius, same brand as was removed and is practically the same box with just a different tail pipe
New exhaust fitted.
Much better looks than a standard pipe for not a lot of money at all.
I don't think mine was manufactured 'perfectly' as there's a bit of shoddyness in terms of the overlap of the tail pipe to the chrome outer, but if I really worry about it then it's easily solved with a dremel.
It's not likely that any different exhaust would add any performance gains anyway, so for now it's a nice OE style touch to improve the looks a little.
Hope that helps some people. I should have got new clamps, forgot that, but total cost of the whole exhaust delivered was less than £80.
#19: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Mon Nov 10, 2014 2:12 pm ---- Have you still got a note of the carpart4less part number you ordered to get that rear box? Mine has just dropped off and if I'm going to replace it may add the one with a bit of "bling"
Was it 705730081??
#20: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: Danpemble, Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2014 3:00 pm ---- That's not really a bad price, here's my back box, think I paid 100 from a local car shop, was a few years ago. Should really get a full pipe as mine will probably fall off soon. As for a de-cat I just took a hammer and crowbar to its inners. It was actually loose and moving around before I even touched it witch is a very common problem with these.

bump!
Sorry need to order one in next two days so part number would be great help.
And for a hdi owners, don't worry if the back box comes off ... it doesn't silence any thing. With a straight through exhaust which it what I effectively have there is no increase in noise!!! At all ...

Apparently that's the cheap and nasty original one
#23: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Thu Nov 13, 2014 4:34 am ---- The Bosal unit is the one with the chrome tailpipe according to ECP/CarParts4Less.
Order one by make/model and set age to 2005 or newer and it will appear.
Obviously costs more ...
#24: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: badj, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sun Nov 16, 2014 3:35 pm ---- Apologies for late reply.
The Chrome Tailpipe part is 705736041 from CarParts4Less.
It's on for less than £35 at the mo, but you can get discount off it using the codes
#25: Re: 206 1.4 HDI Exhaust Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Mon Nov 17, 2014 2:30 am ---- Thanks. Sorted in the end. Used Klarius and Bosal sites to trace the correct numbers.
Fitted it Saturday morning.
Difficult to align to centre of exhaust cut-out ... think the outer hanger needs to be longer and firmer. Tried the Superpro poly ones I bought for the CC but they are far too short. The two new rubber ones I bought Saturday were also short (one snapped!). So I've refitted one of the original hangers and packed out the centre hole with bits cut off the broken one to hold it further apart! Going to look at the Powerflex universal hangers for one with a larger hole spacing at some time.
PS Hint for all ... order something from carparts4less and put it in the basket. Then delete it ... and wait about an hour .. they will probably send you a discount code!

Probably depends on what make the center section is. I had no issues really with mine. I hung it by the outer (nearer the wheel) rubber first, clamped loosely, attached the other rubber and then you just need to rotate the box and hold it in the desired position whilst tightening the clamp.
Because of the hanger design, it allows you a bit of adjustment I found.
