Has anybody had one of those omega exhausts from the polish company selling on ebay, just wondering if they are any good or not as i understand the GM ones are not so hot anymore.

I think it's probably the same site I've looked at but I haven't tried them. If there was to be a problem with it I reckon it would be a fair bit of hassle returning it to them.
I've just had a quote from a company called Longlife for a complete stainless steel exhaust (from cat back)made to measure and fitted for £389.00 incl. VAT and fitting and comes with a lifetime guarantee. Although initially quite a lot of money I reckon it makes more sense.
Their link is here.....

If you want a budget exhaust from Ebay, try the other make (who also have their own website) called Eternal.

I had one off Ebay from what was described as Germany. It came well wrapped in what looked like a Polish newspaper and then brown paper. It only cost about £80 including carriage. It sounds like an £80 exhaust system but gets through the MOT here. Can't remember the Ebay user Id and don't know which one you refer to.

It looked to me like a "second" that had been adequately repaired by welding.

The alternative for me was either an Opel system full price or a Bosal for 500 euros. Out on cost and obtaining.

How much is the one on Ebay?

Hi, I bought one of these for my 2002, 2.2i cdx & fitted it in early June this year. It arrived in 5 days, cost me £139 if I remember right and fitted perfectly, it even came with a full fitting kit and assembly paste. It is a very well made bit of kit, manufactured by Theissen/Krupp of Germany.  Only problem I found was the tail pipe was about 4inches short of my facelift bumper but this was sorted with a polished stainless steel tail extension,again from e-bay, and  it doesn't sound any better or worse than the original exhaust. I fully agree with the other Poster, that  a stainless exhaust would be the best option, as long as you have that kind of money available, unfortunately I didn't .
Hope  this helps you make a more informed decision

Re. philrich, sounds like the same, this is £139 + £25 shipping, i am just waiting to find out what the trade price is on GM one from a colleague that works on the Vx parts counter before i decide, my colleague and i can fit it so we won't get hit by the fitting costs.
In an ideal world (without 3 kids and a 4th on the way  ) i would have the Stainless one. I'm still being pressured to sell the omega and buy a zafira, which i am resisting....

Pitty you don't live near to me, as I've got a standard Middle & back box off a 2001 2.2 CD.

I've just had a stainless performance one from the cat back custom made for mine.  Be a bit costly to send through the post mind !.

Try looking on the parts section on here, maybe some nearer can help you out ?.

How much was that, if you don't mind me asking?

[SJKOO01]

It's a Powerflow one, and full custom made and brackets, and lifetime warrenty would of cost me £450, but got it done for £320 as I've always gone to them for any tyre repairs, or replacements, etc.

I thought it was a good deal, and it sounds sporty without sounding like the youths hothatch raspy stuck in a bog sounds that seems to be common place !!.

And there was me thinking you had become a born again boyracer Matt When you getting the tints and the sub fitted?

[SJKOO01]

Cheaper to wear pair of sunglasses, and eat loads of baked beans Lee   .

Won't be any subs in car, flat battery no use to anyone !.
