all a matter of opionion i think.. there will only ever be 2-3 bhp in it i guess. 3" blueflame downpipe with either de-cat or race cat (depends on how flush you are and whether your willing to swap it over every MOT time (turbo studs snap -- re-studded mine 3 times now) then the cat back is all a matter of taste as to asthetics and sound (all the bhp is mostly gained at the front end really)

a good quiet one is the super sprint system (from experience) big mufflers drown out the noise so if your running a cat you wont notice much difference but a de-cat you will on boost.

i cant speak for any others (see you tube for examples) but i had a powerflow turbo back system fitted removing all but a small rear box... pops, bangs and growles like a mother :drool:

if you have plenty of money get a piper turbo back...if not, pipewerx or blueflame will be fine....

with the induction, an open cone (green) is best, but alot of people do for a dynatwist....

i have a BMC induction kit which will be changed cos it is restrictive but gives a nice whooosh sound

Agree for induction... although i has a local company bend me up some alloy tube costing me £45 in all and bolted an ITG filter to the end behind the bumper... vroom tishhhhh :drool:

Are you sure about this Chris.

All the milltek LCR ones I've seen are not really to my taste.
Ovalish with a dodgy looking flat bottom.

when i was looking for a exhaust i thought this about them but now its fitted i think it looks good.

im just uploading some pics now

I have a miltek on mine, and to be honest when i bought the car i thought it was the standard one until i compared to it the standard one, still not 100 times different though!!

Jetex do a decent cone! although they are out of stock atm!

yeah i have to say i was really unimpressed not just to see spec of rust but quite a bit and i had also heard it was sorted but it is hard to take the car off the road now to get it sorted as i have no spare. might cut my losses by a blue flame send it back then put it on ebay just so i save myself some hassel of no car

Just a thought but how about cutting the OEM tailpipe from the old system if you still have it and get someone to weld it on? Would that work? I don't know, sounds good in my head though.
