It looks very well matey 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) Does it sound any different?
I've done a replacement on mine, as in cat & silencer replacment-Cat=binned, silencers=binned, replaced with exhaust pipe & a very nice twin tail arrangement.
I get an extra 3mpg, more full range torque (especially bottom end) & when the turbo spins up & lovely lovley rasp/burble 8-) 8-) 8-) A winner all round :y :y :y :y

My 2.2 had done 150k on its original exhaust...and still going... before i sold it.

It did get through 2 MOT's patched up  :y :D ;)

Indeed I do,
and it has a sweet sound to it.
not too loud to wake the neighbours but a nice rumble to say there is a V6 under the bonnet,
as for mpg its only done 8 miles since I got it fitted will see how it runs next month when i drop the wife and kids off at stanstead :y

Well.....if Vx decide NOT to put estate 2.2 exhaust sytems on trade club.....and i can get exhaust bandage in Halfords for £1.99 reduced from £5something with a Halfords TC, and it passes MOT's ..... what would you do  ;D ;D :D

Mind you, AA, a stainless exhaust wouldnt be any good for you, think of all that extra polishing  ;D :D
