Looking to get a new exhaust shortly, Eternalcar or Neu-Car-Parts re quality and noise?
Eternal seem a bit complicated having to order seperate sections whereas with Neu you just order the whole system with the prices roughly comparable.
Opinions please :y
-
I'd vote Eternal, centre boxes are double skinned, doubt you will same for less

Agreed. Eternal are a known quantity here, and I very much doubt you could find better.
Go to anyone else.. you might well find it's timax / bosal rubbish.

Cheers you two :y :y :y
I have finally sussed out Eternalcar's WEB site and I think I need the following for a 2001 2.6 Estate for Cats back:-

Get the mountings from a main dealer.
Are the centre sections left and right? I presume they will send the correct bits if so.

That one is for a saloon, its very easy to make wrong choice, I did same & ordered a 2.2 Estate system for my 2.2 LPG :(
-
You are quite right sir, however using the online catalogue it is all it comes up with for all v engines whatever size or body ???
Doing my head in now, having said that the picture looks correct ???
-
Previous posts have indicated that the tube angles are all wrong if you try and fit a saloon exhaust to estate (or vice versa).. you're right though, they don't list an estate back box :(
-
Yeah the angles are off with Estate to saloon boxes. You can see here the estate centre section on the saloon is all wrong:

Email Eternal, they are quite helpful, but take a day to respond. The only time they are not helpful is knowing when out of stock parts will be in...

Thanks TB, I thought the same earlier and I have taken your advice and sent them EMail. :y
Didn't you have some problems re a delay with shipment or something?
-
They do do the Estate back boxes - they supplied correct one for our Elite Estate a while back

I just went the Eternal route and the quality of the centre boxes is impressive compared to some of the others I have seen.

I had exactly the same issue fella - had a saloon back box to fit to my estate (breakwit brother in law). Both pipes were correct bore and pitch but the offset was way out. Seen as I was due away with the caravan the next day I spent about 3 hrs with an Oxy set and vice heating and bending to fit. Was a bitch of a job but got there in the end (albeit had to grind off a couple of hangers). Does seem that Eternal is the way to go :y
-
Yup, I've still got a 2.0/2.2 Estate exhaust system for anyone that needs it ;D

I've ordered enough stuff from them over the last 2 or 3 years, never had a problem...

Eternal on mine, pleased I am. :)

So who did ,very recently ( I can't find the thread!)????????

This is the reply I got from Eternalcar
If you have BOSAL reference numbers, please provide us with them as it is the quickest way to check if we have the correct replacement parts.
Can anyone help with these please ;)

Eternal on mine, pleased I am. :)
Chris, did you get the twin exit backbox? Eternal only show single exit on their website.

Only mid sections, sorry, should have said.
As you say, no double exit available by the looks. :(

Think its a stock image? Little fatty got twin exit from eternal

Depends what they have in stock at the time.
