Which Exhaust?
« on: 03 April 2012, 12:42:35 »
Looking to get a new exhaust shortly, Eternalcar or Neu-Car-Parts re quality and noise?

Eternal seem a bit complicated having to order seperate sections whereas with Neu you just order the whole system with the prices roughly comparable.

Opinions please :y

Agreed. Eternal are a known quantity here, and I very much doubt you could find better.

Go to anyone else.. you might well find it's timax / bosal rubbish.

Cheers you two :y :y :y

I have finally sussed out  Eternalcar's WEB site and I think I need the following for a 2001 2.6 Estate for Cats back:-

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190466458836?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648  X2

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190466458888?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648    X1

Get the mountings from a main dealer.

Are the centre sections left and right? I presume  they will send the correct bits if so.

Previous posts have indicated that the tube angles are all wrong if you try and fit a saloon exhaust to estate (or vice versa).. you're right though, they don't list an estate back box :(

Yeah the angles are off with Estate to saloon boxes. You can see here the estate centre section on the saloon is all wrong:

Email Eternal, they are quite helpful, but take a day to respond.  The only time they are not helpful is knowing when out of stock parts will be in...

I just went the Eternal route and the quality of the centre boxes is impressive compared to some of the others I have seen.

I had exactly the same issue fella - had a saloon back box to fit to my estate (breakwit brother in law). Both pipes were correct bore and pitch but the offset was way out. Seen as I was due away with the caravan the next day I spent about 3 hrs with an Oxy set and vice heating and bending to fit. Was a bitch of a job but got there in the end (albeit had to grind off a couple of hangers). Does seem that Eternal is the way to go :y
