Tried and failed......
« on: 14 March 2010, 20:02:40 »
....to find the popular OOF suppliers of quality exhaust systems. ::)

Washed mine today, rear pipe a bit erm, well, wobbly!
I have a new GM rear silencer, but might need mid sections.

Eternal, get one for 2.5, it will fit.  :y

Only thing is back box pipe is a little short, so you will need to put a trim on it really, and oh, get seperate clamps, as they ones they provide are rubbish

Will these fit?

Can't see why not, they're little more than the cost of half a tank of juice.  ;)

I have a brand new GM back box - £25 from ebay, the seller made a mistake with the listing but had to let it go -  so hopefully it's for a wagon and will mate up to 2.5 mids.

Thanks guys - appreciated! ;)

Got the car in the garage this afternoon and the twin pipes into the back box have rusted through completely, just before the clamps - arse!
It's the complete back box that is swinging in the breeze!!!

No worries, I've been on to Eternal already.

Again, thanks for the info, guys - much appreciated! :y

Has this a a reply from them:

Hello,
 
Can you also tell me if this is a 4 door saloon or estate? We do not do any exhausts for the 2.6 engine size. I will send you the links to what we have.
Please tell me also the exact engine size in cc.
 
regards
 EternalCar

So I've replied thus:

Hi.
The car is a MY2001 2.6 MV6 estate, but knowledgeable people on Omega Owners Club say that any V6 pipes will fit as they're all the same?
Apparently just the backbox has slightly longer tailpipes on the estate.

Should I have just asked for a pair of 2.5 mid-sections? :-[

Just found their ebay shop!

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/eternalcar/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340

Seems they're in Crewe - I was under the impression that they were in Germany (from the link http://store.eternalcar.com/ posted up by Rob).

Hmmm - losing faith in Eternal.

Had this today:
 "Hello,

There are the same exhaust systems for the 2.5 Turbo Diesel and 2.5 DTi
Turbo Diesel. You say that your Omega is petrol, and we do not do any
exhaust pieces for 2.5 petrol (and I cannot even find any reference to
this car to check and confirm if they might be the same).
You can investigate by yourself with BOSAL. Here is the link to their
online catalogue:
http://www.catalogue.bosal.com/pages/exh_cartype_search.php

We have only the centre exhaust for the 2.5 TD. Here is the link:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190217308077&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

Regards
EternalCar"


Then this from their ebay department:


"Thank you for your enquiry.
I need to know the following details to provide you with the correct exhaust pieces:
- your car make and model
- body shape of your car
- year of production
- capacity of your engine(cm3/l)
- your engine's power (hp)
- fuel type(diesel, fuel)
- if you have a catalytic converter

Thank you for your cooperation.


Best regards
EternalCar"

I think I just need a few more peeps to agree that all petrol V6 centre exhaust sections are the same from 1994 - 2003, so I can hit that BIN button!
