   hi guys,
   
   currently got a JanSpeed backbox on my 99 vts, and looking to go back to the standard vts box. JanSpeeds a bit noisy for me now! Need it a bit quieter in my old age
   
   Where can I get one firstly, and how much money would you expect to pay?
   
   I was gona go to the local exhaust centre and get them to fit one, but this will be a generic exhaust and not Citroen right? Or does it even make a difference?!
   
   Cheers

   andrew page motor factors:-
   
   35 quid +vat for a 1 year
   40 quid +vat for a 2 year
   
   new clamp is 50p - a quid depending on how the parts guy is feeling.

   i think 106 has different hangers on it as it hangs below the bumper. and from seeing threads on here where people have brought 106 aftermarket zoorsts they don;t seem to hang right without work.
