Ford Fiesta - Fiesta 1.5 diesel back box advise please - Englishbullterrier

Hi all,

My backbox (only box) needs replacement for the next mot. In fact it's almost falling apart.

Currently installed is a one piece all the way from the down pipe/exhaust manifold to the back box. All in one piece, pipe and back box all in one.

I notice that all that's available from motor factors etc is just the rear box with a slotted sleeve presumably to fit over the pipe from the engine ?

I would just like it confirmed that it's normal just to cut through the existing exhaust pipe and fit the replacement box over it ?

Many thanks in advance.........ebt

That’s one way of doing it . Exhaust paste and a clamp to hold it all together. Alternative is a jointing sleeve . Possibly more expensive to do it this way .

Thanks. I got it yesterday and it came with the joint seabed to the down pipe o/d
and with 2 slits cut in it do I can tighten onto the
down pipe and use a exhaust clamp.
