Super duper. So any spare part, listed as an Omega B will fit a 2000-2003 facelift model. Is that correct. ?

In which case I'm gonna be looking for a quieter rear box for my 3.0 Elite.  The neighbours 18 year old heard me start up and drive off the other day, thinking it was his mates scooby..THATS how bad it is ??

No.

Not all parts, remember they are different shapes, so some body panels are not the same, interior parts, some engine parts, ect. Its all on an individual basis.

But for exhausts, 3.0 ones are all the same.

Exhaust is what I'm after fortunately.

Yes ! Mine is very throaty also...but i think its down to a cheap crappy box....not a sports box....BUT there again, NOTHING would surprise me.

I just don't like it too much....I know i now have a bigger engine with much HP but for me its just too noisy...Etenal sell cheap boxes but they appear to have a good name, especially given that the suggestion is that they are almost as good as the originals which surely can't be as noisy as what I've got now ??

My 2.6 purrs like a kitten, my old 3.0 sounds like a tank, that has a totally different exhaust that cost the same but looks nothing like the original vx one, I was very worried as I said the 2.6 would sound like the 3.0, but the eternalcar exhaust was a pleasant surprise, I can guarantee you will be pleased  with the sound, and the price, best £140 I ever spent
