   id say either a supersprint (raspy)

   unless you have 400 quid then get a btb (if you can find one)

   scorpion for the fast road sound, deep bassy
   
   if you want your car to sound like a rally car you want to see Kam Racing about a supersprint system, or you could just SEARCH!

   the only way you will get power out of a standard cat back system is by decatting it first.
   
   i have a magnex on my vts and love it not to loud to sound like a chavs nova but loud enough to get noticed.

    so basically you have just said a straight through exhasut with no silencers wont gain you anyhting without a decat? no offence mate, but your talking bollox. id expect at least 3bhp.
    
    lol at they chavs nova bit though, lmao

    Im not talking bolloxs my friend the gains you get are minimal, only full potential is when decat the car...

    i really think you are but you didnt say minimal you said " the only way you will get power is with a decat" a cat back exhaust system might net you 2-3bhp depending on the type, but i will agree a de cat, is the way to go. but just a cat back will still get you a gain in bhp.

    it depends on the system
    ive seen some systems reduce power due to being a bad design
    
    you can get a few from a cat back yes
    youll gain maybe 1 or 2 from a decat
    same wth a mani
    
    all in all id say fully sorted exhaust could find around 8-10 bhp maximum
    but over 10 from just an exhaust is a lot
    usually with an induction kit aswell youll se a gain on average of about 12 bhp

    If I may resort back to the original question
    
    Anto, the best exhaust for a vtr consists of the following:
    
    4-2-1 heat wrapped stainless steel manifold
    Decat (Mk2 will be covered in the above)
    stainless steel system (you will find a middle silencer will work better than straight through on a vtr). this can be magnex, Piper, Scorpion etc..
    
    tailpipe to be no more than 3.5" but that is another story!
    
    thanks

    Cat back, decat? The clue's in the title, cat back joins after the cat, so how can it decat it?
    
    
    I agree with the poster above me, had a straight through system with no silencer on, swapped it for a system known for being good for them, with a silencer and the difference was definately noticeable.
    
    Morale is, dont just get some random pipe and hope for the best. Pipes known for gains, chances are they'll have a centre silencer.

    i have a mk2 saxo vtr. i brought system of ebay for £60. its a gt3 stanless steel middle section. if you have a mk2 vtr it will fit straight on as a cat back system because the cat is in the monifold. if you have a mk1vtr then it will de-cat in because the cat is in the middle section of the exhuast. hope this makes sense.

    spend your money on suspension & brakes instead
