Hi and .! What model have you gone for? Decat and Forge Recirc valve are probably a good place to start then. Decat gives some nice pops and a slightly nicer sound. I would also go for TIP and Intake if you can stretch that far.

Was thinking about an intake too the k&n typhoon any good? Whats the benifits for the inlet pipe?

seankay wrote: and its the original shape mate 09 plate From this statement I would also assume it is a 3MPS? Dont get the cat cut out mate. The second cat is flanged either side so its just as easy to get a pipe made up. Around £100-£120 should see you alright from a custom exhaust house. Then you can unbolt the second cat and slip in the straight through pipe. Then refit again later if you sell on! TIP allows unrestricted airflow, the stock tip is tight and squashed!

Take it to the guys at C&C Exhausts in Hillington. Tell them you were reccomened to go from the forum and even mention "daviemps" as he knows them well. I used them before and they were spot on! Expect to pay around £120 for a new flanged pipe to be made up. They will also give you the cat back so you can refit if you wish.
