Bosal 185-685 End Silencer

BOSAL 185‑685 END SILENCER

The Bosal 185‑685 End Silencer is a high‑performance exhaust component designed specifically for the Opel Corsa D (S07) and Vauxhall variants. It replaces the stock rear muffler with a unit that delivers superior sound attenuation, improved exhaust flow, and a more aggressive tone suitable for modern performance vehicles.

Key Features

• Optimised Flow Path: The internal geometry of the silencer is engineered to minimise back pressure while maintaining effective noise reduction. This results in better throttle response and a noticeable increase in horsepower at higher RPMs.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑grade stainless steel, the unit resists corrosion and heat damage, ensuring longevity even under aggressive driving conditions.
• Precision Fitment: The design matches the original mounting points of the Opel Corsa D and Vauxhall models. All necessary brackets and hardware are included for a seamless installation.
• Enhanced Sound Signature: While meeting regulatory noise limits, the silencer delivers a deeper, more resonant exhaust note that appeals to enthusiasts seeking a sportier auditory experience.
• Compatibility with LPG Systems: The unit is fully compatible with LPG‑converted Corsa D models, maintaining performance and sound quality across fuel types.

Installation Overview

The installation process for the Bosal 185‑685 End Silencer is straightforward and can be completed in under an hour by a skilled mechanic. The following steps outline the typical procedure:

1. Remove the Stock Muffler: Detach the existing rear muffler from the exhaust manifold using the supplied bolts.
2. Prepare the New Silencer: Inspect the Bosal unit for any shipping damage and ensure all mounting brackets are present.
3. Mount the Silencer: Align the new silencer with the exhaust manifold, secure it using the original bolts, and tighten to manufacturer specifications.
4. Check for Leaks: After installation, run the engine at idle and inspect all connections for any signs of exhaust leakage.
5. Tune if Necessary: For optimal performance, a brief ECU re‑calibration may be performed to account for the altered exhaust dynamics.

Performance Benefits

Users report several tangible improvements after installing the Bosal 185‑685 End Silencer:

• Increased Power Output: Up to a 5% gain in horsepower at peak RPM due to reduced exhaust back pressure.
• Improved Throttle Response: A more immediate feel when accelerating from low speeds, thanks to the streamlined flow path.
• Enhanced Exhaust Sound: A richer, deeper tone that is both compliant with noise regulations and satisfying for drivers who appreciate a sportier exhaust note.
• Long‑Term Durability: Stainless steel construction ensures the silencer withstands high temperatures and corrosive exhaust gases without degradation.

Compatibility Summary

The Bosal 185‑685 End Silencer is specifically engineered for the following models:

• Opel Corsa D (S07) – 1.2 L, 59 kW (80 hp)
• Vauxhall Corsa D (S07) – 1.2 L, 59 kW (80 hp)
• Opel Corsa D Mk III – 1.2 L LPG variants
• Vauxhall Corsa D Mk III – 1.2 L LPG variants
