No hard sell from them, comfirmed diagnosis - all rotten, cat blowing at the flexy part in the middle. Quoted £750 all in!

To my shame, my Omega is actually a 2.2, not 2.6. onlineautomotive.co.uk quoting £348 for a full system. £60 to fit by me mechanic, so £410 looking a lot better.

On ebay, there's 2 different prices for the Cat, 99-01 and 99-03 - which would be mine?

Right, is the actual cat corroded, or the flexi join post cat before the exhaust splits into the Y for the centre boxes?

If so, this is not part of the cat, and costs just £15 for the part!

Cat back exhaust from eternal is £120 + vat!!!

£410 is insane, should cost you sub £200 easy

Jan 2011 at 18:47 The flexi join is the common failure, cats, unless its been physically damaged (hit a rock or something) should be fine. The flexi is part of the cat, but it can be cut off and a replacement welded on.
