PRETTY SURE THESE ARE THE SAME UNITS SUPPLIED BT ETERNAL - HAVE A P STAMPED ON THE CLAMSHELL
I wondered that, and would agree, but these seem to be a lower workmanship on the pipes. Plus the welds are all painted, and the welding looks like, err, mine!

Checking photos they do look same as the 2.2 Eternal one I bought in terms of the "P", but as above, the welds look better on Eternal:

Some "adjustment" might be in order there perhaps.

Say what you will about the genuine VX exhausts, but at least they bolt straight on :-\

Used to be worth the extra, now they are no better noise wise and quality as Eternal. Which I should have got.

Ringing up later today for options, considering a full refund really.

Makes sense. My eternal parts were P stamped on the passenger side, but Marix branded on the driver side. Backbox was P marked.

The one in the picture looks like it has suffered transit damage.

Tried, my bench is nowhere near strong enough.

As as long as I hadve a hole in a backside, that was not transit damage.

No damage in transit, its just not been bent enough.

Can't see a strong enough force doing that in transit, no other signs of damage on that box.

Called ETS, although it lists London as dispatch, I was not surprised to hear a Polish voice the other end  ::)

Requested to e-mail details through, which I have with photos. Will give them a couple of hours then ring back, asked for either a full refund or replacement for drivers side.

I could do with a second really, but would cost me an absolute fortune keeping them both legal  :o

You still have 4 road legal cars, and only 3 people...  ...I'm all for spare cars, as you know (I mean, I drive Vauxhalls, spare cars are always handy ;D), but 2 spare cars is just greedy.

Yeah but the working legal spare, is a Nissan  ::)

I've driven it a few times, just being a passenger you get tired after 30 miles. Basically its only a spare for MotherT, myself and FatherT won't drive it  ;D

That said, with FatherT, he will be a bit confused as to what the 3rd pedal does  ;D

In event of issue, my Elite becomes the "loaner" and I would use the 2.2. So its a spare for us really  :)

I fitted a ETS system to shed3 last month took me 1 hour start to finish fitted as it should no problem.there are others on the forum who have fitted them with no probs.
. Looks like you was unlucky and got a rouge one.
  on the subject of the welds they will be machine welded.
