don't bother.

Get genuine GM.

Pattern exhausts are false economy.

As above ..... genuine only

everything ive used so far have been vaux parts, im trying not to spend too much more as im hoping to get rid of in the next couple of months, waiting for accident payout, which im told is not far away so will be spending quite a bit on a car then.
how much is trade price for vaux part???

[JamesV6CDX]

Vx is twice the price of budget, but will last longer.
Pattern's do the job but as said aren't as robust as the real thing.

I am effecting a repair on my broken exhaust until funds permit replacement - and regardless of what anyone says could well be seen as a permanent solution



Just to add - it's as heavy and robust as anything, but still easily flexible if you've got some muscles

i actually sourced a GM zorst cheaper than pattern!

Looking at £220 cat back for GM on TC  

£290 for the 3.0s as the back box is more expensive.

the garage that i used to work at doing tyres and exhausts allday used to use timax alot
i found that they did fit ok just had to hit the hangers to get them to sit right so they dont hit the body
but the very bad points are
they sound really tinny and cheap

the next brand we used to ues was bosal they are alot better quality and sound great and not much dearer than timax

So your buying pattern then?  :-/

After the advice given for GM?

Prices quoted there are not far off what you would pay at a Vx dealer with TC.

There's no flexi bits on the V6 - only 4 pots
