I ordered mine Sat, but wasn't posted until Tues. Allegedly, it was still in Germany last night, but ArseholeForce were banging at my door at 8am today :)

Ordering off ebay made it slightly cheaper on the postage, but slightly more expensive for the parts (but did include a fitting kit). Overall, I reckon I saved about £5 (plus getting free fitting kit) ordering via ebay, as opposed to their own shop. And Nectar points ;D

Yes.

For facelifts, you'll have to make a decision once fitted if it needs trim pieces to clear the bumper.

But all V6 saloons take the same exhaust and all V6 estates take the same (ignoring that the facelift bumpers stick out a bit more)

I can vouch for ETS too, ordered mine just before midnight on Sunday night for the double nectar points bonus, it was dispatched from Poland in two parcels at 9.24am on Tuesday 1st April. The first one arrived at my house in Glasgow this morning, 4th April just before 11am, but according to Parcel Force tracking, my other parcel is still sitting in their north west processing centre in the U.K, so the delay is theirs not ETS's, probably wont get the other one till Monday now. On the upside though, the sections that have arrived today are good quality so I'm very happy with the ETS service.

Mine was estimated to arrive around 10th I think, so made good progress.  Their tracking system for their courier only seems to update late in the evening, but mine went from Poland to Germany to ParcelForce, posted 1st, arrived 4th.

Same for me with delivery estimate, Warsaw Poland, Strykow Poland, Neuenstein Germany then Parcelforce U.K. the only flaw I have discovered is the clamps supplied with mine for joining the tailpipe are for 64mm Dia pipes, and the pipes themselves are only 54mm Dia, so no way will they close up enough to clamp tightly. Not worried though as I'll just buy a couple of correct sized clamps myself. Probably a simple packing error but will message them to let them know anyway.

Ah, worth checking the clamps I got then :).  Be a tad inconvenient to find out halfway through ;D

Yup, just checked, mine are way too big as well. Trip to Hellfrauds later then. Bloody mongrels.

I never normally buy the fitting kits, because they are often wrong/shite.  But as it was a freebie ::)

Still, I'm just the stupid kid from the local comprehensive, but surely they would have noticed...

They probably ordered 10,000 of them and aren't allowed to buy any of the correct size until they're all gone ::)

If you have the GM stylee clamps on the old rear pipe, re-use them with a new nut n bolt. Gives a better seal.
