Most pattern exhausts for 2.2 are WRONG.  Try to stick to genuine. PM Markey Mark for a 2nd hand cat - they are reliable enough to use 2nd hand

vauxhall want just over £700 +vat for the pipe which i think is a bit of p**s taking

I suspect that when you say gone you have a blowing flexi joint.

In which case just replace the flexi bit with a clamp in section for about 25-30 quid.

If you need a replacement front pipe look at
www.buypartsby.co.uk/cat_display.php?txtmodel=OMEGA&Submit=Next&txtmake=VAUXHALL

their 2.2 exhaust picture at £96.18 +VAT defo shows 2 cats
as opposed to
the 2.0 which shows only one at £70.98 +VAT

Prices are for ceramic internals

If you have to get one worth phoning them to check - they know their stuff and delivery is good
