Hi all,
Noticed the other day that there was a couple of feet of 'Horse Hair' following me from my Tailpipe :( Looks looks like some of the Baffle is loose.
I cut off the offending 'End Trail' but I can see the hair if look up the pipe :-[ Nothing appears to come out with normal driving.
Car not sound any different, but should I get a new back box on it now ? Last one I had was about 8 years ago from the dealer and cost a packet :( but was VX one.
I see they are somewhat cheaper now, but are there makes to get ? or more importantly AVOID from experiences ?
I want to keep the car as original as can, and sounding decent and quiet, but I don't mind a little V6 growl and prefer the twin tailpipe ;) rather than single on my 2.5V6 :'( (I hear that either rear box will however fit ??? ).
Any advice welcome.
There are cheap ones on E.bay:

Seems like a gamble whichever I pick ? so any advice welcome as want to fit a decent one.
Thanks,
Andy.

Cheapest solution is to buy an eternal exhaust from cat back for £115 of ebay.
-
Think a few members have bought the back box as your first link ;)
-
Thanks.
It just seems "Too cheap" so thought seek other opinions .
I cant find a link to the recommended 'Eternal' one ?
But guess this is the same ?

Both same price and assume the 3.0 one with twin pipes should fit no problem my 2.5 if I bought the Cat back set of 3 pipes ??
Assume easier to perhaps get a local garage to fit ? As I assume they could be a pain if things don't go straight forward ? (one currently on been there for several years :y)

ETS is approved here abouts :y
So top link is what you want, but might be prudent to change the centre pipes as well as they won't be far behind :-\
-
I have an Eternal system on my 2.2, it's silent, it's as good if not better than anything else out there as it has double walled centre sections :y
ETS are not bad, they botched one side of my 3.2 exhaust, bend in the wrong place. But they did sort it, no quibble, but just took time for delivery. :)
-
Thanks for all posts.
Is there a website for Eternal ?
-
Their ebay store. Better to ring them for Omega exhausts :y :y

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Eternalcar?_trksid=p2047675.l2563
These them I assume ???
Point noted on ringing before order :y
Cheers again.
