Far safer with a pair of ramps, but a job well done

Got to get mine replaced at some point..... trouble is it's right at the end of the list, although the list is getting shorter I suppose.

The Eternal system was cheap as chips - £120 all in, delivered, for a catback system (i'm assuming I'm using the right term here, I had the two pipes with silencers and the rear box). Delivery took a while - just over a week - and was delivered to work in the largest box I have ever seen. It took half an hour just to get rid of all the excess packaging!

The pipes fitted like a glove - no adjustment required at all - and the rear pipe sits just within the line of the rear bumper, though it does look a bit plain as just an angle cut piece of pipe.

It took me a day and a half to fit it overall, but at least a day of that was taken up with the section that bolts to the cat pipes - two of the four bolts snapped, then I had to drill them out, and replace them with an oddball combination of M6 bolts and washers to clamp it all back together (turns out i'd made a hideous mess of the hole when trying to drill out the bolt!).

Anyway, the rest of the system fitted easily and quickly, with a minimum of fuss.

Noisewise - It's not noisy, burbles a bit on idle, but I have nothing really to compare it with - the original exhaust, despite passing the MOT, had several very large holes in it and was blowing all over the place. It certainly doesn't make any more noise than I'm comfortable with.

Overall, I'm very happy with it. For the price, it's a good deal.

cd-pete, how do you get on at mot time with no cat, I always thought it was a requirement.

possibly a stupid question but were do you order the eternal system from as want to get a quote for my estate, is this an ebay only.
