I know before you all say it WHY have one done for a 2.2dti Estate :-(

I am trying to see if any of the OOF comunity has had one made before for their Diesels

If so what did you go for a Full cat back or just a rear.

My tail-box fell off over the weekend and I am contimplating having a custom one made
a) for the looks
b) to make it slightly growl a little.

What is the concensus of this, will it look better with a single 3" or twin 2.5" at the rear??

Also will there be any performance gains if a full cat-back is put on (BHP wise)
After this I will be going for a Full re-map to get the BHP / TORQUE increase.

Opinions welcome.

Recently put an Eternal exhaust on Mrs VXL V6's DTi estate. Fitted perfectly.

Alright si. Id give kingswinFord tyres a call. For a custom backbox with your choice of tailpipe its only 130 squids. For a cat back one its £235 ish. They use powerflow. Had mine done there and have used them for the last 7 years

To be honest I wasn't impressed with the Stainless Steel exhuast I had on my V6, If my DTi needed a new exhuast and I wanted the tail to be stainless I would just buy a standard Eternal item and add a Chrome / Stainless tail pipe from Poundland / Halfords.

Well went down today to MIJ Performance exhausts, have had the stainless rearend from the mid-box custom made, decided not to go to intrusive and spoil the look of the rear of the car.

Went for a nice twin Stainless 2.5" exit and they left off the backbox, there has been NO increase in sound levels at all but it is a nice cosmetic look now.

Going to go back beginning/mid next year and have the rest changed to a full stainless with Sports (Mid-sound) middle box.
Then followed by a remap to 160bhp ;-)

Looks well 
Glad you got sorted out ........ For the time being anyway

What sort of money they sting for a full front to back system if you don't mind my asking?

Something I wanted to have a play with on my old td's but never got round to.. I'd cut out the middle silencer and was going to decat, but had often wondered how much a 'proper' system would have cost.

A full cat-back system including Mid and Rear Sports silencers in stainless would have come in at £285.00 inc Vat

Mine at present cost £105 just for the rear stainless straight through from mid-silencer to the twin outlet.

I have then been quoted £165 to complete the job for the rest of the cat-back part with just a small sports silencer in the middle in stainless.

So the option I have gone for is far cheaper to do by leaving off the rear sports box. :-)

Shame they don't list prices, guess would have to call them

Yes you should give them a call and get a quote, excellent work and extremely friendly.

It's well worth a day trip up to them just to get excellent service, there was a guy there yesterday from south Wales having his BMW 335d twin turbo fully fitted with a cat back system.

I'd be interested to hear any V6 owners who might have been there, zorst on my 3.2 is not long of this world.

I want it to be as silent as possible really, with just a bit of a growl 4k rpm+

[VXL V6]

Steve (SP32) had one built by them on his 3.2, the car was bought by a member on here and is currently on ebay if you want to see pictures.

Only thing I would say is, if you go to any of these custom exhaust centres with a V6 insist that you have a twin pipe system all the way through, they will try and sell you a single pipe and get round any issues you may raise by saying that they will put a bigger pipe after the join. Anyone who has driven a V6 with the proper spec exhaust and a single 'mid' pipe exhaust will tell you how flat they are compared.
