Hi all,

Noticed the other day that there was a couple of feet of 'Horse Hair' following me from my Tailpipe    Looks looks like some of the Baffle is loose.

I cut off the offending 'End Trail' but I can see the hair if look up the pipe    Nothing appears to come out with normal driving.

Car not sound any different, but should I get a new back box on it now ?  Last one I had was about 8 years ago from the dealer and cost a packet  but was VX one.

I see they are somewhat cheaper now, but are there makes to get ? or more importantly AVOID from experiences ?

I want to keep the car as original as can, and sounding decent and quiet, but I don't mind a little V6 growl and prefer the twin tailpipe rather than single on my 2.5V6  (I hear that either rear box will however fit ). 

Any advice welcome.

There are cheap ones on E.bay:

and

Seems like a gamble whichever I pick ?  so any advice welcome as want to fit a decent one.

Thanks,
Andy.

Cheapest solution is to buy an eternal exhaust from cat back for £115 of ebay.

Think a few members have bought the back box as your first link

[DrAndyB]

Thanks.

It just seems "Too cheap" so thought seek other opinions .

I cant find a link to the recommended 'Eternal' one ?

But guess this is the same ?

or

Both same price and assume the 3.0 one with twin pipes should fit no problem my 2.5 if I bought the Cat back set of 3 pipes ??

Assume easier to perhaps get a local garage to fit ?  As I assume they could be a pain if things don't go straight forward ?  (one currently on been there for several years  )

ETS is approved here abouts

So top link is what you want, but might be prudent to change the centre pipes as well as they won't be far behind

I have an Eternal system on my 2.2, it's silent, it's as good if not better than anything else out there as it has double walled centre sections 

ETS are not bad, they botched one side of my 3.2 exhaust, bend in the wrong place. But they did sort it, no quibble, but just took time for delivery. 

[DrAndyB]

Thanks for all posts.

Is there a website for Eternal ?

[tunnie]

Their ebay store. Better to ring them for Omega exhausts 

[DrAndyB]

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Eternalcar?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

These them I assume 

Point noted on ringing before order 

Cheers again.
