1.4hdi exhaust,,rear box

Hi ,,, looking to replace the rear rectangular back box of the current one piece on the 2003 1.4hdi. I read that the main pipe can be cut so can then buy just a rear box.
I have seen a couple of aftermarket ones by Klarius and Thyssen.
Anyone know if the aftermarket boxes are any good ?

I haven't had to fit a new back box, but I found this.

Thyssen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThyssenKrupp

Klarius https://www.klarius.eu/about/manufacturing/

Cheadle, based in Staffordshire UK, is Klarius manufacturing plant producing over 2 million replacement exhausts, catalytic converters (CATs) and DPFs for road cars every year.

UK Manufacturing. UK jobs?


I wouldn't have a problem choosing either of them for my C3

Thanks.
I did read about some rear boxes being circular (rather than rectangular) and certainly a number of pics on a certain auction site show pics of cicular ones for the 1.4Hdi. Also read of some "rattling" at certain rpm.

Ours had a new exhaust recently, not sure what make the new one is but it is British made and it's fine.

This is a job I didn't do myself, I don't really have the equipment for getting proper access under the car, plus I could get the complete exhaust, now a two piece, fitted, for less than the price Citroen wanted for half the exhaust (part only), and if you fit half the job you've got to sort out a flange where you make the cut.

Cheers team.
I feel a visit to the local exhaust/tyre fitter comming for them to take a good look . (Over the phone a certain "Quikly Fited" quoted £305... Bugga that I thought)

Cheers
