Hello All,

Anyone able to suggest where I can buy a new exhaust system for a 2.5 petrol.  Everything from the downpipes back without getting a mortgage please? :P

I know where there is a 2.5 being broke in a yard in cannock if a second hand one any good

CHeers Itonks,

You never know I suppose but it would need to be pretty good to go on my pride and joy.  As I understand there's a website you can get them from Deutchland for very reasonable money but I can't remember how to find the ...... thing. :y

eternal or some thing like like :y

yep, Eternal to them for £125 cat back....

eternalcar      got mine from them in august    great value  and no delivery probs  via  parcelforce
  yours  faithfully   paul

Try this, excellent service and cheap.

Thanks Gents,

I've had a look at the site and the prices look sound!  It's a bit more difficult to see what I need though than I remember.  I thought there was a joint between the down pipes and cats.  As far as I see to get the cat you need to buy the down pipe as well!

I'll have to get under tomorrow whatever the weather's like.#

Thanks again!

Good link Kneepad.  Comes straight up but a little more expensive than Eternalcar.  I think I've got a "rattly cat" though.  That could blow the budget!!

I'm off to the pub to contemplate... :y

I doubt that you will need new cats. The downpipes & cats on my first Omega (1994 2.5 V6) were still fine after 200,000 miles (although the heat shields had disintegrated and fallen off  ::))

What you may need to do is drill out the fixing bolts when they shear off in the downpipe/cat flanges  >:(

That's what I like to hear Andy,

Mine's only done 70K so may be it's just the heat shields.  I'll be flat out in more ways than one tomorrow!

Cheers Mate :y

My heat shields made a rattling noise until they fell off. That fixed it  :y

crikey that is cheap! are the internal ones better? and how can you tell if the cat is Knackered??

mine blew this morning, 4inch hole across the top of the pipe going to the back box, ive got the 2 centre boxes and back box for 75 quid to pick up later. just come off a 2.5 elite last night. 

Just to update:

I bought 2 central silencers and the back box from eternal car for 75 quid.  6 quid for new fittings and it cost me 24 to get it delivered.  It did take 7 days instead of 5 but I got it on OK and MOT'd it a few days after without any problems.

Thanks everyone for the usual first-class information.

:y

Glad to hear your sorted. Nice ending to the story.   :y
