Hi guys,
is all V6 exhaust are the same? i search for middle silencer for my 2.6 v6 and i found a cheap one but the website say its compatible with 2.5 v6 and 3.0 v6. can i use this for my 2.6 v6?

All V6 saloons use the same middle/tail sections, all V6 estates use the same middle/tail section which is different to the saloon ones.

Generally, if one part has failed, the other 2 aren't far behind, so probably best to change all 3 parts together

In theory the face lift saloon tail sections are a little longer than the preface lift cars due to the rear bumper being a bit deeper.

Not enough to make a difference though

I have that, its good, slghtly shorter, but I like it, passed MOT several times, 2001 FL saloon.

And if get the 3.0/3.2 Rear Silencer you get twin exit pipes rather than single for the 2.5/2.6 

I tried to get some quality and subtle chrome tips for the 3.0 tailpipes, but struggled to find as the twin pipes are so close together its hard to get them them to fit.

I guess inside the car I don't see the exhaust, so gave up.

MOT for my Baby tomorrow     Fingers crossed all goes well,

Hope you pass MOT, I have the twin one. My son told it's good looking (me too).

I put a Jetex stainless on my car at the time & it always bugged me that the exhaust stuck out from them bumper more than I would have liked

The day that car gets so much as an advisory will be a sad day. Probably the best kept Omega in the UK
