Thanks for all your input guys

I am still in a dilemma. The twin pipe look just does look really nice but the hidden also looks really nice and clean. Really not sure. Will get onto a few dealers around here. I now there is one up in Exeter so may go and pay them a visit. I think with the spaced out rear and a bit lower the rear end would look nice and uncluttered with a hidden pipe :)

Ben do you have a rough estimate for a quote with the hidden pipe with a sports cat?

When I went to get mine done I was quoted £300 for custom cat back hidden exhaust and from what ive heard a sports cat is near £200? But that may be incorrect...

Ive got my mongoose (centre section back) off my car for sale. You probably wont want it but just thought id mention it :) Its going cheap...

Your looking at about £400 mate for a custom hidden system with a sports cat from Powerflow.

Powerflow also produce really decent Sports Cats which are far cheaper than some of the big named companies so it shouldnt be anymore than £400-450.

The Jetex system with a Jetex sports cat will cost around £550.

Sounds good Ben :) I think the next step for me is to go and see the guys in Exeter and see what they quote. Would it be ridiculously loud with a sports cat? I want it to have a nice note but not too loud at lower revs/speeds but when you open it up to be a bit louder 8)

Cheers Mr Blobby but think you guys have persuaded me to go hidden :roll:

It shouldnt be too loud mate, maybe slightly louder than just a normal cat back system but its only when you remove the cat entirely when they become too loud. It should feel a lot more responsive with a 200 cell sports cat and will certainly free up some more power.

You can get 100 cell sports cats too which are even better but unfortunately they are for track use only and wont pass an MOT.

Ben :)

Been thinking about this sports cat. Would there be a place to put the lambda sensor in there?

If its a good quality product, it should have the lambda holes.

They just mailed back saying that i need longer wheel bolts. So i replied saying no i don't as i have the FK system B+ thing where the spacer is bolted to the car, then the wheel bolted to the spacer. There is even a leaflet inside (written in german) saying use the supplied bolts. IDIOTS! :evil:
