'Original' one fitted for what 30 to 45? No chance it was an original equipment one at those prices. It was probably an 'Original' (cloned aftermarket) equipment type used by the tyre and exhaust 'specialists'. Found the docs from the old owner and the one that I changed cos it had clapped out in 14 months according to the receipt was a 32 quid 'special' fitted by one of the so called 'tyre and exhaust specialist places. It was a lightweight badly manufactured one with crap welding on the supports.
A genuine VX one is astronomical in cost even with discounts so I very seriously doubt whether one can be had that VX fit for the price you say. I tried the ones around here first and even the exhaust centres were all over the ton fitted.
The one I have now is very heavy, built to last and has a 2 year warranty. Typical of German engineering and fitted to Opel as standard. Even the box it came in was way better then the plastic bag , if any packing at all that the uk ones come with. Look here for it;

whole job for 50 notes, and a 2 year warranty, I know I have had the best deal possible and this one sounds like it should too, just like the car was new again. A deep low throb and not the tinny bark of the others cheapos I have heard.
I am happy, be happy for me.
