Senator exhaust question

Hi,

We have a F reg Senator 3.0i 12v. the problem we have is that the mid section of the exhaust is blowing, but only one pipe. we have tried to patch it but due to my skills with Firegum(I think) being close to zero this didnt work.

We have tried to get a replacement mid section but all the places around here say that they dont stock the mid section for the Automatic cars... so I was wondering if the mid section of the Manual version would fit in place of the original Automatic mid section? or are they infact the same parts?

Was just wondering if the size of the gearbox would have anythign to do with it? I know that other makes of cars have different exhausts for Auto and Manual versions of the same engined car - though those were front wheel drive cars so the exhaust has to go under the transmission... unlike with this where it should run alongside the transmission.

The trade club book lists just two part no.'s for the centre sections of the Senator 30NE exhaust, so it doesn't look like it matters auto or manual (the 12V doesn't have a cat, does it?)
Part No. 90399094 (LH)
90399096 (RH)
Incidentally, these are just £51 +vat each retail from Vauxhall. If you know anyone who can get you trade club, there's a significant saving to be had ;)

What part of the country are you in matey?

my friend has a 3.0 24v senator and he got the exhuast mid section welded back together. he was quoted 200 pounds for each of the cats!! - it would probably be a cheaper solution to get a garage to weld it, if its possible.

thats okay as its only the center section thats rusted away.



okay then if it would be too loud then maybe have some smaller boxes welded in their place. should do the trick...

cant see the point in putting a bigger bore exhaust on even if someone manufactured one, its plenty big enought as it is.

I had a Powerflow system made for one of my old 12V GSi Carltons.... that thing used to rattle windows and set car alarms off all over the place ;)

Induction kit or modified airbox should add a nice roar too (and let it breathe a little easier) ;)
