They'll tell you they don't do one, but the 3.0 one they list will fit. Tail pipes might be a little short but some cheap chrome trims will sort that. :y

I thought it was all Face Lift Estates where longer?, Had a Pre Face Rear Box fitted to one my 3.0 MV6 Face Lift Estates, drove my mad on the M1 with the noise being slightly trapped behind the rear bumber.

Correct. I think Eternal only list pre-facelift exhausts hence a 3.0 but no 3.2.

Couple of chrome trim sections from Lidl (IIRC) for 6 quid sorted mine.

I think that whats on mine as the pipe is short and I do have a noise but I found two rubber mounts missing (fitted now) and it has been in contact with the bumper and plastic and heat do not mix.
