Title: Exhaust spewed some baffle :( Should replace and with what ?
Post by: DrAndyB on 02 March 2014, 11:41:26

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.  :)
