eternal shop seems a pain, and no actual pics of what you get - are the backboxes twin exit?
In my experience, the 3.0/3.2 ones are for the saloon. Not fitted estate one

Just put an Eternal cat back system on the 2.5 Estate - £110 incl all fittings delivered.  They didn't have a 2.5 Lit back box in stock so got a 3 Lit twin exit pipe Estate one with no guarantee from them that it would fit.
 Just needed a slight tweak on the front hanger and it fitted spot on.  Looked to be all good quality and is quiet - well pleased.  :y

Agree that shop pics etc not very clear but found their comms excellent with the right advice re which parts required.  Also good bulk delivery discounts.

Most stainless exhaust systems are loud, if brought 'off  the shelf'...

A friends father in law was after an exhaust for his '99 Lancer estate, quite a rare beast so even the local motor factors wanted around £100 for a cheapie system, the sort that may last eighteen months to two years if your lucky but sound louder than the old exhaust!
In the end a local place, up in Stafford, custom made a cat back stainless system for £200. You can choose how many silencer boxes you have in the system and they can be tuned for volume or tone.
The chap who's car it is is no 'Boy Racer' so he chose to go for a quiet system that looks standard, he says it sounds quieter than ever and he reckons it's more responsive too.

Just rang demon tweeks, who are local to me and do all things exhaust....

quoted £441 +vat for jetex, and he wouldnt recommend powerflow over that, and would be more expensive.

eternal dont seem to do omega estate stuff at the mo, anyone tried the other ebay offerings?
