Sorry if this is in the wrong section
I have just bought a new project in the form of a 1993 sri 8v 130 saloon.
Im having trouble finding an exhaust back box?
All of the listings i can find are for the 115 bhp model!
Will this fit ok?
The previous owner has fitted a rather nasty back box that needs to go.
Any help would be greatly a appreciated
Thanks
James

I believe it uses the same back box - further guidance required!
I got my replacement from Vauxhall, good price and it fitted fine.

Yeah the 115bhp box should fit fine. Shame it wasn't a hatchback I have a nearly new backbox sat in the shed.

It will fit but it's not the same back box as the original SRi.
The SRi had a bigger oval shaped exhaust.
It's quite hard to find decent photos but I believe this has the original SRi exhaust fitted:
Also if you go to exactly 3:00 in this video you get quite a good look at it:

Thanks for the info chaps. As long as it fits is the main thing as i may get a system made at some point but the box on there at the mo really needs to go (jap can)

I sent Genuine parts search an email and they do have 20SEH back boxes available. They are £28.64 each. I'd get one of those if I were you.

They didn't give me the part numbers so just give them a ring if you haven't already bought one.

They usually get things out next day too - I vote very highly of them.
