Exhaust 2.5 elite
« on: 05 January 2008, 20:19:48 »
Hi all

just joined and wanted to say what a splendid forum this is for all thats holy and right in the world of the omega's!!!

Have no fear i will get some pics sorted soon!!

I am having a problem finding an aftermarket exhaust for my 2.5 facelift elite!! Took it in for new tyres and tracking (£330) and the kwick fit fitter said that i would be due for a new mid and rear exhaust soon. I enquired for a price and was quoted about £250-300 depending on model..... surely for that amount there are some stailness aftermarkets out there!

Failing that, i guess the only other option would be to go to someone like powerflow and get a bespoke one made!

Any help would be most grateful!!!!!!

Get a TC card, and you can get a genuine exhaust for the same money as pattern, and it will be a whole heap better :y

Welcome to the forum :y

There has been recent talk of stainless exhausts here so a search might dredge something up.

Whatever you do don't let Kwik Fit et al fit a bog standard aftermarket one. They are nowhere near as good quality as the Vauxhall original parts and will kill the refinement of the car.

Most people go for a geuine exhaust from Vauxhall and, if purchased on trade club, the cost is not much different to a standard aftermarket replacement at Kwik Fit.

get a card by joining ABS ...

http://www.autobahnstormers.org

costs £20

This will give you very cheap prices on "trade club" items .. and 10-15% from most VX dealers on other parts.

As an example ..

Engine oil 10-40W semi synthetic 5ltr  Omega recommended stuff...

Retail = £15.25 Normal £11.22 Trade Club £7.86

and on TC offer at 4 for 3 .. so on TC you get 20 ltrs for 23.58 instead of £61.00 ... already paid for the membership !!!

and lots more savings as well ... try this one ..

                       
Brake Disc & Pad Kit, Front Retail Price £96.00 Normal Price £79.25       Trade Club £69.60

That sounds like a great little investment!!

Can the card be used to save money on servicing as well? My elite is due for a service in the next 2000 miles and my missus's tigra is over due for a service

Cheers mate

Parts only I'm afraid .. as it is designed for independent garages doing the service for you .. thats why its called a "trade card" .. but you can do all the service items yourself and buy the parts at trade price with one :)

Hi mate,

I would definitely recommend powerflow if you decide to go for a stainless steel one. Sounds great too... ;D
You get a choice of backbox styles plus if you want it to sound sporty or as standard...
Mine cost £400 for my 2.5V6, made and fitted (took 5 hrs....)
