Only thing they are good for is getting it on the ramps, and letting you take a photo!

No hard sell from them, comfirmed diagnosis - all rotten, cat blowing at the flexy part in the middle. Quoted £750 all in!

To my shame, my Omega is actually a 2.2, not 2.6. onlineautomotive.co.uk quoting £348 for a full system. £60 to fit by me mechanic, so £410 looking a lot better.

On ebay, there's 2 different prices for the Cat, 99-01 and 99-03 - which would be mine?

Right, is the actual cat corroded, or the flexi join post cat before the exhaust splits into the Y for the centre boxes?

If so, this is not part of the cat, and costs just £15 for the part!

Cat back exhaust from eternal is £120 + vat!!!

£410 is insane, should cost you sub £200 easy

As far as I know, it is blowing only at the flexi joint. The cat itself I think is fine. Third opinion?

The flexi join is the common failure, cats, unless its been physically damaged (hit a rock or something) should be fine.

The flexi is part of the cat, but it can be cut off and a replacement welded on.

If you go for the new flexipipe make sure the actual flexi (criss cross mesh bit) is 4 inches long and not the whole thing is 4 inches long.

Yep, that`ll fit..........and FYI the exhaust from a 2.0ltr will also fit the 2.2 and it`s cheaper

Hi. I have just ordered a cat back system for a 2.5v6 from eternalcar as a replacement a 2.6v6 on the recommendation of forum members. Order was by phone and eternalcar say that this will not fit. Before payment is made can anyone reconfirm this will fit PLEASE
