the problem....buggered!






new v old construction, note the new ex silencer is not chrome or slash cut as per original, not that you can see the chrome on this poor example.

I can see it says GM on it, but did you get it from a dealer

yep. on trade club...£311 with the odd nut an bolt...

i think i was lucky, i bought cat back for my 2.2 about 2 years ago, was exactly like the orginal. Slashed bits, same construction.

Mine had the angled exit like the old one too, with the chrome tip, so was pleased.

Dads 2.2, 1 year later, was the cheaper build. felt cheaper than mine, no chrome or angled exit.

has the exhasut been able to retain its quiteness that a VX one does?

Guarunteed for life - silent - made to measure - stainless steel from LongLife.

£350 from cat back.





I've still got my 3.2 back-box sitting in the garage. It is in marginally better condition than your old one. The pipes would shine up nicely; you can have it if you want.

my original exhaust is 6 years old and new one costs £300 to replace, so your £90 jobby can last 2 years ish for the same money. I bet it will last double that, 3 at least. On reflection, i am not certain i would go for genuine again!...
looks like i am no longer welcome either James? :-/

ah bless him, be of no doubt james, your input is very welcome...well, by me at least.

[Dazzler]

It looks to me like the newer Vx exhausts are as cheap and nasty as the normal pattern stuff but at least 4 x the money

Discovered mine's blowing at the front of the back box too today.
