2.5/2.6/3.0/3.2 saloon centre section right hand - 93181162 - retail £112.00 normal trade £95.26 trade club £71.22

2.5/2.6/3.0/3.2 saloon centre section left hand - 93181157 - retail £109.00 normal trade £92.76 trade club £69.18

2.5/2.6 saloon from 2000 silencer box and tail pipes - 9157100 - £107 retail £86.02 normal trade £64.96 trade club.

All plus VAT.

This from a previous list, now superceded, so prices subject to change.

Would suggest genuine, not pattern.  You will be dissappointed otherwise.....   :y


 

Br carefull those prices are out off date. The current T/C prices are
93181162 £73.12
93181157 £71.08
9157100 £64.96

Not much but worth a mention

I'm in Berkhamsted and have a Trade  Club [MIG] Card  from 2007 [waiting on new card] so might be able to get bits at TC prices  from  local VX dealers if you don't have a card.

Thanks iggy21uk, a very kind offer. My Autobahnstormers card dropped thru the letterbox today so I should be able to get TC prices (once I get registered at the dealers?). If your new card doesn't arrive soon, perhaps I can return your kind offer if you need any bits yourself.

i'm aware of the cost/sound issues regarding pattern/proper exhausts. It's a no-brainer to get the genuine ones on trade card (unless you really don't like fitting parts - then buy the Vx ones and take to friendly mechanic!)
however, as mentioned before - if your exhaust gets a battering from speed bumps/stupid car park ramps and lots of short journeys mean it rarely gets very hot , then cost has a different aspect.

Wouldn't it be worth getting an ultracheap one and replace it often. Or a stainless one that wont break so easily/is guaranteed anyway/won't corrode......?

Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!

trouble is, they aint much cheaper.

and if you are damaging them by going to fast over speed ramps, you'll be doing other damage

Thanks for the advice, prices etc. I picked up the genuine items from local Vx today, TC prices, and fitted this afternoon. Only one error of judgement - I re-used the tailbox as it is only a couple of years old and seems to be in good nick. Took me nearly 2 hours to get the seemingly rotten (but actually quite solid!) pieces of pipe out!  >:(

If ever you hear me come up with a hair-brained idea like that again please give me a good slapping. I should have replaced all 3 x parts and have done with it! Hopefully, now it's back on it will last a decent while.
