I'd stick to a GM one exellent quality and sound :y and not a bad price on trade club pattern are usable but you get what you pay for. GM will also last alot longer

GM quality is not what it was regarding exhausts >:(
Longevity is debateable

Camberley Auto Factors, just under £45 (inc VAT) if you can prove you are in the trade.

I thought as long as the exhaust is gas tight it would pass the mot.

Doesn't work that way, and hasn't for a very long time.

I just fitted a full system from eternalcar, I have to say I'm impressed with how it sounds, I can hardly tell the difference between that an the VX one, the back box is about £47 with delivery from Germany

I can thoroughly recommend the eternalcar exhaust - had one on now for 6 months and very pleased. i also took the opportunity to get the twin tailpipes as they are no more expensive! Allow about 5 days for it to arive though.

On the facelift bumpers the tailpipe will sit a little bit under. Some folks but finishers on but I have just left it - doesn't notice really.
