Mr telemaker as you have both, types, off you go, it's all for research, and fair play.

I can't check as I have 3.0L plods on my 3.2 

Much as I'd love to, TVP fitted new cats to plod in 2007 iirc, and Elite has stainless sports cats

O well, an ongoing quest.

I believe that at one time TVP had a little stock of genuine Cats and Exhausts....

It has genuine replacements on it, but your guess is as good as mine as to the part numbers

[Andy H]

Maybe the different part numbers are for downpipes with or without pre-cat codes

Today, I've spoken to the technical dept of both BM Cats and Euroflo and both state that the replacement cats they produce are of identical quality to OE parts, although this was the response I was expecting! Prior to the requirement for type approved cats, (required to be fitted from March 2001 vehicles) then the quality apparantly wasn't as good as OE parts. Their cats are the same for the 2.6 and the 3.2 (which doesn't really help with my original question in this topic). BM have a 2 year warranty, and Euroflo have a 3 year warranty.
I have spoken to Cats 2 U who state they are a supplier only and do not manufacture them. They supply BM cats for the Omega.
Anyone with experience of the quality of BM or Euroflo - is one better than the other from first hand experience, rather than mere opinion?

That's what I have (in type approved format) used on the 2.2's I've done. (From Cats 2 U) No problems to report.
