Hi
Im going to buy the Eternal Car rear box for my 2.2 petrol as mine has done its job after 4 years ( Ebay item 190466458829 ) but can anyone tell me what size of clamps will be needed ... i might also get a small and tidy chrome tip as well ... not looking for a big stupid gay looking thing though , so what diameter pipe will the exhaust have and any suggestions for a chrome tip ? Keeping in mind i want to keep the car looking good and not trashy . Maybe something with a twin outlet .
I will search the bay etc but if any one has any hands on experience with tips or pics of some fitted feel free to share :y
TIA

If you want a twin outlet Proz, the V6 backbox is the same

Ah i didnt know that ... so any back box for the 2.5 , 2.6 , 3.0 or 3.2 will bolt straight on ?

2.5 & 3.0 from a pre-facelift will need the chrome extenders due to deeper F/L bumper. 2.6 & 3.2, no trim needed but only the 3.2 will have the twin outlet ( and obviously the 3.0 also)

3.0 is twin as I have it fitted to my 2.6 and sounds nice too with a suttle burble to it

Ideally, but you`d probably get away with the 3.0 with no trim extender

Clamps are 54mm, any motorist discount store will have them for a couple of quid a clamp

There is another one similar but the only difference is the hanger locations and says its for 2001 only

Has anyone actually fitted a 3.2 back box to a 2.2 saloon ?
Every exhaust place i speak to say they are different and wont fit ... One place said the 3.2 one is 10 cm shorter etc which was mentioned on here but i thought that was the 3.0 box .
Might go out to my local Vx service place to see if i can get part numbers or lenghts measurements etc although im fairly sure they wont help , I know which ever one i order will turn out to be the wrong one ;D

I have a standard 3.2 estate one in the shed you could borrow for sizing? Need it back though as it will replace the irmscher one on the car when it comes time to sell it.

but will there be another 3.2 estate worth putting it on by the time you want to sell yours? ??? ;) ;)

2.2i 16v - Z22XE Exhaust Silencer Rear With Tail Pipe; Saloon; Ident EM 9157100
2.5i 24v V6 - X25XE Exhaust Silencer Rear With Tail Pipe; Saloon; Ident EM; (Ch.>) Y1000001 9157100
Only difference with the 3.0 & 3.2 is the twin outlet & as said, F/L`s are slightly longer overall to accommodate the deeper bumper
-
Could you advise me of the facelift 3.2 part number RobG please .... Ive just been on the phone to a Vx parts place that never really came to much either , wouldnt say if the parts were basically the same . All he really said was they were much the same but wouldnt give measurements of lenght etc .

It doesn't need any extender; I'd argue that mine looks better witha pre-facelift back box simply because there aren't any ugly pipes protruding past the bumper.

Estate back box won't fit saloon - op has a saloon ;)

Sorry H i just spotted your message just now ... didnt see them before .
I've found out i may have a friend of a friend who works in a garage so im going to go see him and ask if he can order a 3.2 facelift saloon back box to see if it'll fit .
Vx and Quik Fit and several exhaust suppliers on the phone have given next to no info on wether it will fit or not :-\... I dont want to buy one online to end up stuck with it if its a no go , so hopefully my garage friend of a friend will order one with no strings attached if it wont fit .
The Vx guy i spoke to was very vauge as to wether it would fit or not ... didnt say no but didnt say yes either , only said it might be to short as its 10cm shorter than the proper one for mine .
Just need a day off work to go and see him so hopefully the begining of next week :y

2.5 back box is the same as the 2.2. V6 centre boxes are all the same. 3.2 backbox fits a 2.5,2.6 & 3.0, so it must follow that all V6 backboxes fit the 2.2.............seemples :)

Sigh .....
Anyone had any dealings with Online Automotive ?
I ordered this
3.2 petrol saloon rear silencer 2001/2004 .... VAU6031 which looks correct according to the image .... Cant get the link to work on this one :-\
But today i recieved this
VAU6030 .... grrrr links not working properly .
Its for a 1994/2001 Estate but they seem to think its the right part despite sending pics .
They seem to think im wrong and they are right and the other one ( the one i ordered VAU6031) wont fit anyway :-\
-
Well finally thats the exhaust done ... took the car this morning to have the back box fitted after the correct one ordered came on Monday but I didnt have a day off till today .
Turns out the middle sections were holed as well :'( . Mind you they have been on the car since i bought it 5 years ago and not sure how long they had been on before then so not too bad i suppose.
The twin tailpipe does look better and gives the exhaust a nice tone without being any louder .
Hopefully this exhaust will out last the cars remaining life now :y
The place that sent the wrong exhaust said they dont want it back and i can do what i like with it as they have been credited with the cost from who ever they got it from. Bit weary of that statement though ...... What should i do with an exhaust for an estate thats no good to me ?

I have no idea mate ... the woman on the phone said totally different vehicles etc so no way it would fit .... i told her the back boxes were the same on all v6 but she wouldnt have it ::)..... she was wrong and i think i'll make a little call to make sure she now knows they do fit on 2.2's ;D

Hi, i've got a 2.2 petrol 2001 estate, that could do with a new exhaust back box :'(
Let me know what you'd like for it matey :y
Cheers
