German eBay is probably your best chance... They do pop up there occasionally.

There's this...

It's for a Vectra. But given that the skills and cost of chopping off these tailpipes and welding them on an Omega backbox are within the skill set of someone who's been migwelding for about half an hour, potentially very doable?

You may even be able to source a Vectra exhaust in your own country, which would be cheaper, too.

That is an option but I want the whole backbox and not only the tailpipes.

Is the Irsmcher back box particularly better than another standard Omega backbox? Of course it's you car you can, and must, do what you want, but I suggested that simply because you could be waiting literally years before one comes up for sale...  or, within 2 weeks you could have a genuine Irmscher twin tailpipe on your Omega, (albeit on a non-Irmscher backbox) that's all  :)

They're stainless for a start... mine has been fitted from new, rest of the system has been replaced at least once ;)

And have a nice tone... My MFL Saloon had one, although I didn't realise that until shortly before getting rid ::)

Fair enough  :) I'll keep my eye out for one, then, too! I know the Vectra SRis after a certain year got stainless backboxes. Hope you get sorted Vega :y
