Are the centre boxes double walled?

Yep.
Not the cheap oval boxes either.

Might have to give them a try next, Eternal have always been good with double walled centres, prices also very good but communication can be a little poor.

What about back box, don't supposed that was double walled too?

That I'm not sure of, but it was certainly weighty enough!   ;D

Bookmarked that store, as my centre sections are no longer connected to the back box, I kinda need a new exhaust  ::)  ;D

The clamps were missing from mine but the old ones were fine anyway and even if I bought new ones it would work out cheap.
Having said that I emailed them anyway and they gave me a 10 % discount on my mext order.
I can live with that.

right update time exhaust arrived on Monday morning in 2 seperate pakages that were taped together, came with complete fitting kit and clamps but I used m8x80 bolts on the flanges as this allows better fitting,its all fitted and is as quite as a standard system and very well made it took me an hour to fit and I would say well worth the money just got to see how long they last but for the price £93.00 delivered from Poland.
. I will try to upload the photos before the weekend of the before and after pictures.
. So as a quick score 10 for delivery.A 10 for ease of fitting and build the rest is a wait. :y

Title: Re: Exhaust systems
Post by: biggriffin on 10 July 2012, 21:01:47
A definitely recommend product :y
 And if anyone else orders one just order a FULL system and ensure you state in you order that its for either an estate or a saloon. So 10/10

Are the tailpipes a couple of inches too short? (if your car is a facelift)
Title: Re: Exhaust systems
Post by: biggriffin on 10 July 2012, 21:30:37
Depends how you mean by couple inches ;D
Compered to the GM on with chrome trims that just removed yes bit shorter but most non GM systems are shorter as no trims. And car is a FL est

You get a pic of your facelift tailpies as they sit in relation to the bumper, and I'll get a pic of my m/f/l estate for comparison.
