2.2 zorst
« on: 01 June 2010, 18:16:18 »
Hi,

my old tub will need a new exhaust from the cat back (3 pieces) before toooo much longer. Been quoted around £230 from fast fit outlets but was wondering if it's cheaper to get the parts and pay (someone on here?) to fit. I've fitted them myself before but a god-awful job without a ramp. Are any of the ones on ebay any good? 

Sorry, I bet this has been asked 1000s of times.  :-[ :y

If you're looking on eGay have a look for eternalcar ;) I'd fit it for you but it's a bit far I fear!

I'm about to go down the eternal route myself after seeing the recommendations on here and being disappointed with the length of time the Bossal one I fitted lasted.
One word of advice if you decide to do a diy fit. Give the bolts that join the middle boxes on to the cat pipes a good wire brushing and plenty of WD40 before you start. I speak from experience when I say it's a right pain if you snap the bolts off and have to drill them out.  :-[

Hi, I contacted Eternalcar and they do not list exhausts for the 2.2, the 2.0 16V is listed tho. Is the exhaust the same foe both the 16V 4-pots?  :-/

Hello again,

Boffin required (Tunnie?) Is the 2.0 16V exhaust the same as the 2.2?

Cheers   :y

Hi Acura.

the 2.0 Omega litre exhaust fits straight on the 2.2.
but of course it has only one middle silencer instead of a pair.

The cost of  the 2.2 assembly (from cat back. ex cat ) at SMS was £196
Whilst the SMS price for  the 2.0 litre single box version was £115.

I am told this applies to Vectra 2.2 and 2.0 as well as the diesel.

I didn,t notice  much difference with the 2.0  exhaust on..in place of the 2.2 twin box system  but anything is quieter than  a blown rear silencer.

A good saving there of £81.00  if you are skint, or just dont want ripped off. and   the single box is lighter as well.so saves fuel ...?

klickster :D ;)

Be assured that it does fit straight on,  and is easier to fit than the twin box as well
