do NOT buy pattern. Its false economy, they do not last long.

They are also very noisey and kill the refinment of the car, get a GM exhaust!

I have driven meggas with pattern zorsts, they sound awful.

agreed..

when i bought the 2.2 it had the orginal gm zorst, lasted 6 years and 95k, my dads is the same, still going at 92k and 7 years!

Pattern on average last about 2.

The trick is GM ones are double walled, makes them last longer and much less noise.

Cat back for GM, on TC looking at £200.

Its about £70 odd for each mid section, and £60 odd for a back box i think  :y

I have an aftermarket cat on my 2.2, it was bought online. It's horrible, noisy, sounds like it's blowing but it isn't, the tin is very thin! My advice is get a genuine GM or a good secondhand one, I only changed mine because the flexy had gone, should have repaired it  ::)

Member AndyC is offering TC prices to non-TC holders on the forum.

I have recently dealt with him very satisfactorily; knowledgeable, polite, helpful, and fast ...

Give him a bell, what do you have to lose ?

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?action=viewprofile;username=andyc

(I'll take my commission in beer please andy !!!)  :)

I have a TC but my local stealers said what I wanted didn't exist, despite a part number from EPC. Andy confirmed it existed, was the right part for my VIN, and got it from germany within a week.

I bought my whole zorst from a Vx stealer, got some strange looks, walking though the show room 3 times with 3 massive chunks of exhaust!  ;D
