Are they both Saloon/Estate?

All V6 Saloon Exhausts are the same, Estate systems are slightly different due to extra length and won't fit Saloon or visa versa.

Remember, a brand new exhaust is around £90 cat back & will last at least 3-5 years. Stainless exhausts are often poorly made and never really fit very well.

You'll do well to just change a single part, as the exhausts all corrode together, and weld themselves together.

Eternal 2xmid sections and backbox come in around £100 delivered. Its a known quality, and is used by several OOFers, myself included.

Stainless exhausts are usually noisey/droney, and on the Omega, often bodged on.

Thank for the replies guys,have been offered a full cat back system for £60 :y :y
Just not sure if it's the way to go?...have use of ramps etc and plenty of knowledge to fit the system. And since ours needs a drivers side centre section I thought it maybe worth while...

Check it has the correct bracket to attach to cats. Many long life are bodged on by cutting off the cat's bracket, and bodging on.
