Interesting. Could it be the same manufacturer that supply eternal?

Jamie said Eternal was about £110 for a side....I read this advert as £79 for both sides.....so if the quality is good, then Eternal are making a bob or two

No, Eternal is about £110 for all 3 sections

Sorry Jamie,....I must have misread.......your price is for both centre sections and a back box.....so obviously a bit dearer, but not a lot. So it will be interesting when feedback comes in, as to quality against Eternal.

Sorry Jamie,....I did not realise the exhaust is just two bits a side, plus the cat. I am now assuming that £110 means one side complete with cat ??

£110 for the complete system from the Cat back. LH, RH and Silencer

NB. The only reason I didn't buy one from Eternal is because no one appears to be able to get hold of them to order the right one.

I have a suspicion that the three suppliers are all suppying the same exhaust. I'll take pics of mine when it arrives to compare.

[skyblue]

Yes I have. 

I think!

EDIT

Close, I bought this one

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-OMEGA-B-3-0-1994-2001-Silencer-Exhaust-System-/150810088414

Need a system for my 2.5...its the same price, is it any good. Seems to me, on any exhaust system I have bought for any car, they never last much more than 3 years, wherever I get them from. £80 is better than £300 quoted at one place I looked

Should ask the question....how easy is it to fit, laying on your back under the car, with the rear wheels up on ramps

I have been asking the same question to myself, as I need to do the same sort of replacement on mine. So if you need a hand in doing it, I will pop over and gain some experiance before I do mine.

From memory (when Mrs VXL's estate needed a replacement exhaust), the hardest part was drilling the rusted bolts out..... Something I found easy as I was making the Tea and Loo Knee was doing the work!

Indeed, all 3 bits. You won't ever really get away with just changing 1 section.

Probably won't learn a lot from me mate, except bad language I am bloody good at making tea and coffee though

Well, will I be able to cope with all those naughty words  but the offer is there if you need a hand in sorting this out.  As its already been said, it looks like the hardest bit will be, the  breaking of the conection to  the cats. ( Might be able to fix my small grinder  for those horrible little bolts  that might take a while yo drill out )

[Terbs]

Thanks for the offer, buddy.....I'll let you know, subject to the aforementioned feedback on quality.

The job is quite straight forward, easy even......provided the old bolts undo rather than shear off. If they do snap then it can be quite difficult to drill the old studs out
even with good quality drill bits as access is a little awkward. So use plenty of plus gas before and during - to give yourself half a chance.

My recent Eternal one was £90 odd (3 sections, excluding fitting kit).

Think I paid £96 for MotherT's 3.0 Estate cat back system from Eternal

If you can get an oxyacetylene set to heat the bolts up, it'll make life a lot easier
