   Suies 1999 106 GTi has a hole in the exhaust... on the joint directly before the backbox.
   
   Shes thinking about buying a new/2nd hand cat back system for it.
   
   If she buys 2nd hand... is the exhaust the same as the VTS?
   
   The only diference I can think of is sometimes the 106 have different hangers on the rear box?
   
   Can someone confirm if they are the same/different.

   As predicted, Suies backbox just fell off whilst going down the road. D'oh!
   
   Im in a rush now, as off to a wedding in half an hour, but the backbox joint itself looks OK. The section of exhaust between the cat and the backbox... does that have a silencer in it?
   
   Its been years since I had a std exhaust so I cant rememebr
   
   Im guessing for now I can just buy the pipe between the cat and backbox until she decides which aftermarket system shes after?
   
   Not many places gonna have a pipe tomorrow though.
