whats the quality & fitment like. it would be nice to know from somebody that may have purchased one.

Eternal very good quality at a low price

I had an ets brand for my volvo 855, apart from having a different shaped silencer its a perfect fit, It did have a few knocks but it also came from germany
-
I forget the brand, but the new exhaust on my Focus was a German ebay cheapy and was a lot less hassle than removing the old one... ::)
It delivered exhaust gas to the back of the car without issue and cost £75 delivered, so I consider that all the criteria met :D

How much would you say the blood sacrifice cost in monetary value? ;D
-
About a grand pre tax :-\
The exhaust was purchased beforehand though ;)

They have to be drone free as well. That's why I can't tolerate aftermarket cats, they all drone. Fastfit exhausts, usually Bosal or similar crap drone. Can't be doing with it.

But if it's registered as LPG it's only a basic test ;)

If that means high flow sports cats and back box delete instead, then that works too 8)

Which is still failable. Apparently ::)
Fortunately my grumpy tester was aware he had to give mine some beans just before the test.

I have to disagree with the droning comments of Bosal exhausts based on my own experiences with them. I have fitted several Bosal pieces on 3.2's from the cats back with no problems at all. I found they were an excellent fit, heavier gauge steel compared with other makes available at the time, and the nice sound from them was comparable to the distinct V6 note from the original Vauxhall systems fitted on manufacture. Certainly didn't drone or sound tinny.
I was so pleased with the first Bosal system I fitted on my Omega, I later bought several extra pieces 'for stock' from the Bosal factory in Preston about 3 or 4 years ago when they were selling systems off when there was talk that the factory was going to close.
I am perfectly happy with them.

Backbox on my Omega and Astra diesels showed Bosal as the OE supplier with both BOSAL, GM and the respective OE part number stamped into them.

Like most/all other OE suppliers, what the sell direct to the large manufacturers is not what they sell into the aftermarket channel. Sometimes due to cost, more often than not, due to commercial restrictions put upon them by the manufacturer.
