   I'm toying with the idea of getting a duplex exhaust.
   (I like the look, symmetrical)
   Any one know of any makes that are fairly quiet. I do a lot of motorway/ dual carriage way driving at about 80 and my current back box gets quite tedious and is quite loud in the cabin.
   Have no idea what it is, came on the car.
   Will get pics later for id.

   as in one box each side of the car
   
   most of the systems like that are custom jobbies
   im personally not a fan of them as there shit for performance but you could in theory make one thats nice and quiet
   its a case of having the car and silencer ect in still

   Yeah I was thinking of an exhaust on both sides of the car.
   
   If they're all customs I might stick with the single one then

   Oh right.Bet it looked nice though. I'm not really after performance, would be nice to have a little more oomph :-D

   You might be able to pick a peco one up from somewhere mate. But as already stated, there not very good on performance.

    mark 1 & 2 are the same out back though
    so if it fits a mark 1 it will fit a mark 2

    Sweet, makes sense, its just the mk 2 has the cat on the manifold, shouldn't cause too many problems though should it?

    I know every one has their own opinions but to me a duplex exhaust is just more weight, more hassle to fit and mor to clean. Personally I would prefer a nicely fitted single pipe.

    Just get a single exit exhaust, will be much better.
    
    And i think you will have to cut the bumper / get a aftermarket bumper in order for the Duplex system to fit

    Yeah that's true.
    I think I'll get a single exit one then.
    The next car I get will have to have a twin one tho
