Re: 1.6 Vitara engine in Sj what back box have u got ?
I made a custom system from the outlet of the mid box back as the standard system is quite restrictive after that but not too bad before there.
Cherry bombs fit well in the gap next to the tank. Take a look in my build thread.

Ye I did have a cherry bomb on it when I had the 1.0 engine but will try this back box only thing is that when the rear axle moves up it might touch the back box will see what it's like when I go off-roading lol

I would have thought that would fit. It's the clearance to the shock you need to worry about if they are still mounted in the standard position.

jordi - lol

when i first put a 1.6 in i was using the stock 1300 exhaust pipe front to back.
Then I broke the backbox off and put a cherry bomb and did notice an actual improvement in performance
I think the 1300 one is quite restrictive to the 1600. Personally if you have the time I would probably replace the front box as well.
Maybe just straight through

45mm should be plenty for the 1.6, unless you plan on boosting it
