It is said on here that you can fit the centre and rear box (single system ) 2.0 ltr preface lift omega to a face lift 2.2 omega (twin centre box ) thus having a single centre box instead of a double centre boxes....yep single is cheaper but would it be detrimental to the running of the car in any way,,,as we all know vauxhall like other vehicle makers spend millions on designing these things but is it worth it in the end just to save a few quid :-\ :-\

Have been told on here that it makes no difference but can,t say it from experience because i havn,t had to do it yet :D But, when the time comes, i will.

I've run a single cat back system on my 2.2 for years now, think since 2011?
It's eternal, it's silent! Has no affect on running or performance :y

I stuck with twin on mine - just like it original and the cost difference is small :y

How much was your system cat back?
-
Eternal price for 2.2 saloon bearing in mind i can only see that they show 3 separate parts from cat back and not a complete system all in one postage charge.(and i stand corrected if you find it ).....all separate parts carry a postage charge of £11-00 per unit.total postage £33-00...plus parts at £77-1 makes a grand total of £110-12 delivered.........the single box system (2.0 ltr ) consists of 2 pieces is £49.99 plus £14-00 postage totals up to £63.99........So because i am clever ;D ;D that makes a difference of. ::) ::)...£46-13p....not to be sneezed at and that would go towards a service for the old gal.....So going by what has been said on here that the single system works just as well then why not save a few bob and be happy with the results.. :D :y

Cheers,once again Tunnie, :y

Yes it's a good saving, I mean £65 for an whole exhaust? It's a bloody brilliant! :y
Kwikshit would want about £250-£350 easy!
Also saves faffing around with twin centre sections, so fitting is a lot easier too.
General advice is to get a better fitting kit though, the Eternal ones are not that great.
Having said that, I used ones supplied, still good 4 years and 40k later :)

Does this stand for both saloon and estate? Also, is there a difference between the exhaust systems (saloon vs estate that is)?
Cheers

Yes. Applies to saloon and Estate
Yes. Saloon and Estate mid sections are different between the centre and rear box

Use the make an offer option :y

I'd personally still fit a single system, easier to fit, less to fail. I had issues with cheaper twin sections on my dad's 2.2. The centre boxes were too close and could vibrate/hit.

Quality not an issues with the linked ones - proper clamshell and fit really well :y Fitting kit is not fantastic, but I think that is true of all the Polish exhausts!
I'm sure the single is fine too, just offering options if people want the twin (like me) :y

Just had a reply from E.T.S.......apparently if you order the pieces listed separately then the postage changes,,,,you pay the dearest postage on the first item and then for each item after that delivered to the same address you pay half the price on each...they suggest that you put the parts in the shopping basket and the request total payment from supplier first otherwise if you hit the buy it now button then ebay will charge you the full postage price on every single piece.....so that is handy to know.....However as Tunnie suggests as long as it is ok to fit the single box system,then less hassle when fitting and more dosh left over in your pocket....plus i think less weight for my little desmond to carry so at least one mile an hour quicker :D :D :D

Yep Steve it is always nice and handy to have other members views on different things,,which gives us all a great insight into them all,so thanks for that :y
