Post by Ady1985 »

I understand the back boxes are basically all the same*, but the estate version has a marginally longer tailpipe to suit the longer overhang.

*all versions use a 66 mm diameter pipe clamp for the joint onto the middle pipe, except V6 and 2.0 petrol turbo's which use a 73.5 mm diameter clamp.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

Champion, thanks for that, the ones I looked at all said 'length' sizes but obviously they mean diameter, so you cleared that for me, thanks Doggy

A saloon/coupe one won't fit ( I think they are more expensive anyway ) as the hangers are in different places, I think....
