On way for a curry tonight I'm telling my wife how reliable the Omega is and how I'll keep it for the forseeable future and no sooner said I noticed a louder than average boom from the exhaust under load.
Amyway there is a blow and slight rattle from the front area not sure if it's the cat or centre pipe/box.
I'll get it up on ramps tomorrow and find the source but as a comparison can anyone in UK tell me the GM (and poss. non GM price) for X20XEV estate '00 ,cat and front pipe/box.
Also has anyone used the Polish or German suppliers on E bay ? I faintly re call someone using them and being satisfied.
Now I know that y'all will shout " genuine GM " but the Omega is used sparingly and although will be kept on the fleet a little longer it will eventually go so a two year expectation is all I require really .
It's a non GM system currently on it ( Bosal ) so I expect noise levels will be the same.
I'll post up Irish prices   when I get them for you to see.
Thanks

my experience is with v6 engines so its not too much of a help but its generally considered that GM are overpriced(£311 for my 3.2 on trade club) for the new batch of exhausts which are not of the same build quality as the original factory fit system. So eternal car(£90 ish for a v6) or hand made stainless (450odd) seem to be the popular options. Obviously you will probably go eternal car or similar and being a 4pot should be a bit cheaper still i would have thought. Bose(edit, Bosal, yes i ment bloody bosal dam it, load of crap that they are) tend to be frowned upon for loosing their packing. Saw one today with half a dead xmas tree hanging out the back. :-)

Thought they made the In Car Entertainment  


Methinks you might mean Bosal ...

eternal car are good value, and realistic price. Genuine aren't up it anymore really, not worth the money...

Keep off the curries!!

A lot of members give these good reports - especially re price and noise levels - http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Eternalcar__W0QQ_sidZ239919514?_nkw=omega&submit=Search

I used them last time my centres went the quality is ok for what you pay but like all pattern parts they don’t always fit properly.

I had to bend the rear of each side where it joins the back box as it was forcing it up into the bumper skit.

Bosal arent all that bad!

Quality varies - they do make some reasonable stuff, but their budget stuff is some of the crapiest around

the omega bosal system isnt too bad and in all fairnes looks like what GM have based there new "cheapo v6" exhaust system

Bosals I have heard on Omegas - an I do get to see a few - have sounded harsh and horrible.

Oddly, and surprisingly, not yet seen a v6 with new/crappy GM exhaust on...

The eternal system is about 30 quid per box, so a 2L would be about 60 plus postage.

Who made the OE exhausts fitted at the factory?
