Seems to me that POLMOstrów (Polmo) in Poland is the only firm still manufacturing Omega exhausts. Parts have an embossed 'P' logo.
I believe one of the other members was recently able to get one from Auspuffteile.de here. I believe, but you should check, that kit 351 is a Saloon (Sedan) and kit 353 is an Estate (Kombi). They list shipping costs of €15 and 4 days to the UK.
You may have to pay VAT and a clearance fee. Shouldn't be any duty as it's under the limit of Ł135.00. You could ask.
They don't list Vauxhall parts separately so you're looking for Opel Omega B parts.
I had the 350 kit for a 2.5 some years ago. It was fine and shipped from Germany in less than a week. A perfect fit. Eternal car also supplied the Polmo parts.
One irritation with all of the exhausts, including Eternal Car, is that they have taken to cutting the downstream pipes near the centre boxes. They supply sleeves to join them back together. This is to reduce the length of the shipping carton and presumably the shipping cost. In principle this should not be a big deal however we found it's more difficult to get everything properly aligned without the use of a ramp.
The having the middle pipe cut is a real PITA as aligning things is not simple ,but doable on proper ramp :y
-
Have to say that I found the opposite to be the case :-\
Both 3.2 estates, and both done on the drive (with ramps/stands) and both from the above manufacturer.
1. Cat back system, delivered in three parts... Two mid pipes and one back box. Awkward because the full length pipes were cumbersome to lift up and support whilst trying to get a fitting on to take the weight.
2. Just the mid pipes onto aftermarket cats and Irmscher double exit back box.
Nothing quite lined up, and having four pieces instead of two made it alot easier to get lined up correctly...
-
So both from Auspuffteile.de?
-
Both from Eternal car via ebay and both manufactured in Poland.
One was circa 2011 and wasn't cut down. Tother was 2014 and was cut down.
At some point in between the couriers decided to reduce their max length for cheap rates. They do that occasionally. TNT went from 4.2m to 3 overnight when I was working for them in 2005 so that's not a new concept. Also a chopped down exhaust can fit into an Astra for delivery purposes, a full length exhaust less so. :y

Thanks for all the replies
Can anyone confirm that the 3.0 exhaust will fit my 2.6 as the company in Poland said it's not listed as compatible although Mutha Jugs n Speed said it fitted his 3.2
-
Yes it will fit.
Saloon V6 all the same.
Estate V6 all the same.
Saloon 2.0 8v interchangeable with 2.0 16v /2.2 16v
Estate 2.0 8v interchangeable with 2.0 16v/2.2 16v.
If you want to split hairs the 3.2 (and possibly the 3.0) has two tail bpipes from the single rear silencer. However, ALL the mounting hardware is in the same position for any given body style regardless of age. The only caveat is that a preface lift exhaust will possibly require a cosmetic tip to ensure the exhaust gasses clear the rear bumper. (the extra length of the face-lift cars is all in the bumper, the shells are fundamentally the same). :y
-
The exhaust I bought for mine a few years ago came in cut down form.I thought it made things easier to lift the parts into position and assembling fairly loosely on the car gave plenty of scope to adjust the pipes into the correct position.
-
V6 saloon wise, the facelift tailpipes are a shade longer than prefacelift. This is not an engine thing, as the 3.0 was available in facelift form.
If you find it too short, and exhaust trim piece from any motor factors will solve that.

Thanks for all the replies
Ordering it now

I did try to find a couple of nice short chrome ones to finish of the ends on the 3.0 one fitted to my MFL, but I struggled to find right size as the twin steel tail pipes as a bit close togther to a pair of chrome ends to fit :( Unless I have not looked hard enough ?
-
I had the same problem when trying to a pair. Gave up looking in the end.

Apply a bit of heat to the pipes as they exit the back box and you may be able to spread them slightly.
Alternatively notch the tips where they contact. Effectively slicing an inch off the circumference where they touch. Obviously stop about halfway along the tips so it looks normal at the visible end :y

In looking around the eurocarparts website for my bits, I see they stock both left and right centre sections and rear silencer. The are Klarius parts, made in Stoke on Trent apparently! :y
