Hope it fits better than the cheapy one I got before my Eternal one - no amount of friendly persuasion would get it to miss the chassis...

Was the cheapy one from ETS?

Not sure, sorry - I trusted my MoT centre's recommended fitters, since I was at the other end of the country. Sounded shite and fitted shite. I swapped it for an Eternal within two weeks.

OK, it's arrived this afternoon, I ordered it on Wednesday 9PM GMT so that's about 5.5 days, including the weekend with full tracking from Poland.  :y

As far as quality goes, it looks exactly the same as the Eternal one I bought for Mrs VXL's estate, I'm convinced these are all coming from the same manufacturer.

I've got that very system fitted to mine. Got that distinctive "P" stamped on all 3 places. Mines quite old now and is quite boomy. Not sure what it will be like when new.

I'll have to get under the MV6, cant remember if it has those Ps.


Terbert, get some plusgas on the bolts now!. If you have a small wire brush (size of a toothbrush), clean up the exposed thread.

A V6, esp with over 50% more capacity, will make more noise. Try a G-Whizz.

Or if you can get some heat on it. I cherryed mine up with a blow torch and got all 4 out. Never had an exhaust in it's life till that point.

Bet a proper old school GM zorst would have been better, when new, bet they did not drone like they do now.

A V12 BMW has again 100% more capacity, does not mean it should be louder!
