Unfortunately...

I have committed an unforgivable, fundementally awful sin, for which I will probably lose any respect anyone ever held for me.....

I have......







FITTED A PATTERN EXHAUST TO MY V6  [smiley=evil.gif]

In all seriousness, I could not afford anything else at the moment and mine had just fallen off, so I bought the cat back system (2 mid sections, and backbox) from "Eternalcar". They are an ebay seller, but I bought it direct from their website.

The total cost, including delivery from Germany, was only around £100. Hats off to them, it arrived around 3 working days after I ordered it.

For the money, I expected it to be extremely cheap and cheerfull, and noisy to say the least.

I fitted it to the car tonight, and it appears to be very well fitting. The build quality and seams are all sound and it went on seamlessly.

I fired up the engine and was a bit taken aback - it's silent.

Been out for a drive, and given it some beans on the dual carriageway - and I really can't fault it. It's as quiet as you like, easily as quiet as the new GM system I put on my other Omega some time ago. Performance also feels excellent.

The only question left to answer, is what the longevity will be like - but for what I paid, I think it's well worth the money - and a very good compromise, especially for slightly older miggy's.  

***Prepares for a ribbing.......!***      





So... I am hugely impressed, it seems like real value for money.

Yer pays yer money and makes yer choice.  Only time will tell if it's true value for money. :-/

You must also consider, the duration I usually keep my cars

Very true, but from reading your threads you seemed to give the impresion this one may be longer term.

I'll find it in my heart to forgive you, im good like that!!!
    Joking aside not everyone agrees with what i do to my Migs but the main thing is they're on the road, not scrapped or bangered. That's all that matters in my book.

I must say, there are no intentions to get rid - and I may gas it when my life settles down a bit.

PMSL    I wouldnt boot him for going to a Pattern exhaust, but I would question him if he went to wrong wheel drive.

Should we run a poll to dare him?

Good for you James for thinking outside the box  

In terms of longevity remeber you could have 3 of yours for an original on TC.   I reckon if you get more than 2 years out of it you are quids in.
