Doubt you'd get it through an MOT without cats.

Genuine GM from manifold to backbox is the way to go...

Agreed, GM stuff is much better quality its quieter too and will last longer.

My original GM one lasted 95k miles / 6 years!

I fitted cat back GM on mine from Vaux for £220 on TC  :y

Going with anything other than genuine Vx is a false economy. It is simply not as good.

Oh, and please turn the caps lock off!  ;)

See if you can get access to a Trade Club card, it will be give big savings on exhausts.

Or join the autobahnstormers, once joined (£20) you get a member card, this also gets you trade prices at Vauxhall.

Ohh and as mentioned, please turn off your CAPS lock. Capitals on internet is shouting! and there is no need  :y

The genuine Vauxhall ones from dealer are the quietest.  Expensive unless you have access to Trade Club though (if not, join ABS).

Pattern parts ones sound crap.

Check http://www.tradeclub.co.uk and see if your dealer participates (under Distributors), if so, sign up to Autobahnstormers.co.uk and you will have trade club :)
