ETS Exhausts Review

[TheBoy]

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!

[tunnie]

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:

[TheBoy]

I reckon silencers are from same supplier - TY? - but pipework not

[feeutfo]

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.

[tunnie]

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.

Hope you get it sorted soon Tunnie, and the Elite back on the road

In mean time, looking to get my old trusty steed the 2.2 to ride again. We need a working legal spare!

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

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 ), 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 

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

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.
