Since my holidays are rapidly approaching, I'm going to get it ordered ASAP - can someone confirm that these are the right bits for my 3.2 (I'll just pretend it's a 3.0...)?

And for the back box, since no others are available -

Plus the relevant mounting kits?
Ta in advance...
-
Wait for TB's reply, as he's ordered recently. But...
Mid sections look correct.
Silencer should really be double exit, but as you say no other seems available.
Don't bother with the fitting kit it's shite, and the rubbers are wrong.
Sugest new cat to mid section bolts and mid section to box clamps from dealer IMO.
Paste from Halfrds for the joins
-
:y Top man, I've got the paste already from bodging together the vague assortment of shiny pipes that it's got fitted ATM... Shall pop to the dealer on Monday for the other bits.
-
Oh, should add, there is also a clamp that holds the mid sections together, that sits between the cats and mid section silencer boxs.
Might be worth checking those nuts will come off. Although they don't do a great deal, just stop some vibration it seems. Could fit them later if deemed necessary I guess...?
-
Plus, should check, they are for a saloon...?

As in, holds one midsection to the other? The current lump of shiny toss has no such thing, if so... :-\

Checked and double checked :y

Not to worry then. :)

You'll find eternal not too bad to deal with - when you put in order, just add a note to seller and say its for a (for eg) 2.5 v6 saloon.
Note, if for facelift, you may find backbox a little short, and *may* need a chav tailpiece (suck it and see though). As chrisgixer says, fitting kit is shite, get elsewhere.
If you don't already, go to the ebay site via topcashback, and you should get about £3 back in a couple of months. Feel free to use my topcashback signup link - http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/theboy - and I (currently) get a tenner :D. Other cashback sites available if you use others already.

Too late with the cashback! I know for next time :y
I dealt with them last about 3 years ago with my last one, and it was fairly painless.
Chav tailpiece is no bother, haha :D
Ta muchly!
