Hi has any one tried an exhaust from ETS on egay?
-
No...but Ive looked at the adverts and im sure the 2.2 estates look a good clamshell design.
Eternal is normally a good bet, but they are not listing estate exhausts currently for some reason, may be worth a call :y

Hi, i got two centre silencers from them for v6 week before last , arrived in good time , and a good fit for aftermarket. sound is not much diffrent . good thick polish steel on the pipework. see how they last. ::)
-
Just bought estate exhaust for 2.5 diesel from eternal. Arrived very quickly and fits perfectly with the Middle box i already had waiting to fit.
I bought the fitting kits etc too and they discounted postage as it all came in one big box.
definitely recommend eternal.
-
have ordered both middle pipe's and rear box along with the fitting kits will let you know how all went after fitting them....

please do,
Im in the market, all be it a v6 not 2.2, but will look forward to your report :y

What is the total cost?
-
I have fitted a few of these for people to V6's.
I was impressed, they were a good fit, they were of the cam shell type build but, the fitting kit was pretty naff (get some decent exhaust clamps and stainless or Vx bolts).

Can you explain to a thick country boy...

Understood :y
What makes them better/worse?
If my understanding is right, older style (squarer) GM backboxes for V6 were clam, newer GM ones are cylindrical?
-
They just appear a better fit and a bit quieter.

Sorry, wasn't talking about these brands in particular, just is clamshell better/worse than cylindrical in general? Do you know of advantages/disadvantages to either?
I'm happy with the eternal on the MV6, given the price. Its not as quiet as the old style genuine GM that came off, but certainly doesn't drone as bad as many pattern exhaust equipped Omegas I've driven, some of which are tiring at motorway cruise speeds...
-
I did read many moons ago an article relating to a benefit of the clam shell design with respect to reliability as although it required more expensive kit to make, it resulted in fewer compromises on the internal parts.
I guess this could be why they are quieter, they certainly appear to last better.

Hi all just an update on the exhaust. Fitted it today and couldnt have been a better fit :) I also judge quality by the welds and they were all very neat and tidy also coated with i assume a zinc coating so all in all good result :y
only down side was i fitted it all and went for the clamps (I am used to the U shaped come in 2 pieces ones) So I fitted it twice :-/ :-/ :y
-
sounds good, how is the sound? or not tried it enough yet?
-
Yeah it sounds fine mind you think the old one has been blowing a bit since i got the car so its great in my mind :y
past a saxo on the way home with a big bore back box and laughed thinking if my car sounded like that i would fix the exhaust :D :D ;D
-
The biggest thing for me is it went around everything it had to without touching esp the rear drop link!!! after looking at the GM one that was on i thought this will be the test

Bought an eternal system for Estate recently - only part they couldn't supply was 2.5 Estate back box - i ordered a 3.0 lit Estate back box which they wouldn't guarantee would fit. Total cost all parts + fitting kits ~£110 delivered. Arrived quick, all fitted ok and quiet - well impressed :y

Yes they were very helpful - got a couple of emails from Germany too - well impressed with their service.
