Try eternalcar on Ebay, loads cheaper and not bad quality ;)

I have just had a new system from Eternal from the cat back fitted to my 2.6 about £120 delivered, just allow about £50 to get it fitted :y
-
I have Eternal on my MV6. Definately not as quiet as the old style genuine GM, but what do you expect for £135 for the system. Similar to new style genuine GM, and I would buy again.

I had the same exact same problem.
I purchased a couple of chrome tail pipers, cheap from Wilco and stuck them on. I found that by "extending" the cheapo back box out further that it quitened down a great deal. I concluded that the cheap box made the exit sound refurborate around and under the back bumper and by using the chrome pipes to extend beyond the back bumper more, the problem mostlly went away. Just sounds great now without the "boombox effect".
