Omega General Help / Re: 2.2 exhaust replacemant

« on: 21 June 2007, 17:47:28 »

never heard of two cats on a four cylinder before ,don't they only have one head so one outlet for the exhaust,v6 have two cats because there is two heads there for two exhaust outlets.strange i think

The 2 x cats are in line on a single pipe from manifold then split into 2 sections,
is my 2.2 the only 1 with this set up??

Update 2 exhaust prob,  contacted Dukeries Motor Centre spoke to Sam, gave all specs, told me this was a tough one!! but he will see what he could do & get back to me in a hour, as yet still not got back to me!! :-?
A friend who no's some one inside @ local VX dealers could get 20% off the £1100 price , but with fitting would still b almost 1K !!
Just not worth it 4  a 2K car, I usually keep a car 3yrs then move up 3/4 yrs I have had this car almost 3!!
 so went 2 best quote a little over £400 same pipes etc but 1 cat with 2 lambdas on 1st pipe & the rest same as orig. Job now done!!
This is my 2nd omega & the 2.2 is much better than the 2ltr 16v I had b4, cam pulleys falling apart etc  (always had carltons b4 a simpler & better car)
Dont no what 2 do after this car as the last omegas are 2003??  This car size has been great 4 me as I fit kitchens, can't find anything better, the new vectras look   :-/

Thanks for replys everyone.

I'd also be a bit surprised with the twin cat/lambda  That tends to be for the V6's not the 2.2
 
see  
http://www.catalogue.bosal.com/pages/exh_system_list.php?query_nr=2&make=vau xhall&model=omega
 
which may be of some use

The 2 x cats are in line on a single pipe from manifold then split into 2 sections, none on the supplied link seem to match my system!!

Strange ??

Hi thanks 4 fast replys,  
after the cats my system splits into 2 pipes + box's also then back to 1 box at the rear.
BTW I live near sheffield.

My local Sheffield VX dealer prices:-
cat section £610 +vat
1 side section £122 + V
other side section £104 + V
Rear section £93 + V
almost £1100 unfitted over the counter!!
They go from my car reg 4 details
(My daughter paid £ 115 for her 106 pug full system!!)

Omega General Help / 2.2 exhaust replacemant

« on: 19 June 2007, 18:19:58 »

Hi group,

My W plate facelift 2.2 CD estate exhaust is blowing (I think its still orig fit) done the rounds of local exhaust places, looks like it all needs replacing inc cat as there is a flexi joint leaking, quotes from £400 to £535   is that about right??

However one place tells me that the one thats on the car has 2 x cats and 2 x lambda sensor's but the replacement will only have one cat!! I mentioned will it affect the emmisions & mot & what about the lambda sensor's ??  And he suggested the ONLY way 2 get the 2 cat system is from dealer (who i rang & they want £900 + vat supply only full system)
I'm sure someone can give me some wisdom eg been to kwikfit etc 4 a new exhaust & not had probs with mot emmissions??

Thanks in advance Ian R
