I have to change my Exhaust for the MOT and the cheapest I could find was through National Tyres fro £224, that got me top thinking it can't be much more for a Stainlees Steel one which i'll never need to change again and will look alot better anyways.
Can anyone recommend a SS one and how much, don't want any big tail pipes or anything too loud as it's my every day car and I don't want it to look boy racerish.
Cheers Rich

They are normally around the £500 mark, but mind it normally affects your insurance asit's classed as a modification.

get a tc card, get a genuine exhaust for not much more...

Whats a TC Card?

Vauxhall Trade Club card, but you will need either to borrow one from someone localish or join another club like www.autobahnstormers.org for £20 and you get one that way. The £20 joining fee you get back the first time you use it nearly because of the mega discount the card gets you at Vauxhalls ;)

Found a shop on Ebay that will sell me both centre silencers and back box for £95 delivered! So i've just got to fit them myself job done.

Hello Sonic, don't do it ! I put a none GM exhaust on my 2.5 Elite 30,000 miles / 15 months ago and regret it every time I start the engine. Find the price of a GM system and you can use my TC (autobahnstormers) card.
The GM/Vauxhall exhaust system is just so much better.
best regards :y

I'll second that G.M is a quality exhaust, double skinned sections, and will make your V6 sound like it should, unlike a cheap copy exhaust. Genuine will last a lot longer too :y

I did look at that one but it has been built with only one central silencer and thought it would be too loud.

Alas, I think you will be disappointed with the noise from the one you bought. Sorry.
Looking on the bright side, you will be replacing it again in a couple of years, as the quality of the cheap pattern ones is that poor it will fail.

yep,i have regretted getting a cheap exhaust for my 3.0 elite, £180 fitted but bloody noisey when going through the gears not to bad when cruising.send them a e-mail saying you bought the wrong exhaust,they may understand!
-

They are having none of that! They said I should have checked the fitting list before purchase!
Looks like i'm stuck with it!
Well i'll see how it goes if it is really bad i'll just get a proper GM one.
Thanks for all the advice though
Cheers Rich

Hello again Sonic, better luck next time.
A TC card is worth the £20-00 outlay with 'autobahnstormers' just for service items ie
particle filter GM £11.55 TC £4.87, oil filter GM £4.09 TC £1.11, 5litres of semi oil GM £21.80 TC £8.69, Wiper Blades GM £8.25 & £9.40 TC £4.14 & £5.21.
Call if I can be of help you are just across the city.
regards
