   there is no such thing as a best exhuast, it all depends on what the user wants. e.g, loud, raspy, deep, quite etc. need to be more specific.
   
   best makes for backboxes and systems: magnex, piper, pugsport, saxsport, supersprint, miltek.

   thanks, i've been looking for videos of the different exhausts to get an idea of the sound but they all seem to be decat so they would sound different with a cat wouldn't they?
   
   p.s im looking for a deepish not too quiet exhaust note

   yeah a cat will make it a lot more quite, decat increase throttle response, and tone of the exhuast, mainly make it more "raspy" cat's are very restrictive.
   
   i have a piper backbox and decat for sale if your interested?

    yeah im looking at the saxsport site now, they sound mint. i might go for the racing cat then it saves the hassle at mot time and any problem with the police round here.

    I see you have a mk2 vtr. Are you sure your cat isnt in your manifold? You dont really want to be running 2 cats.

    Just get the decat mate. MK2 VTR's have cats in the manifold as standard so unless you have an aftermarket manifold on or are planning on getting an aftermarket manifold it would be pointless

    Ok well unless the previous owner decided to change the whole setup (which i doubt) then your cat will be under the car

    Just get the decat version then when your mot comes up, just swap exhausts? Save a few quid, be better for perfomance and will sound better

    could do but my standard exhaust is a bit shitty, its blowing from a couple of places so i doubt it would get through an mot :/

    Probably be cheaper to get a second hand standard centre pipe/back box/cat (what ever is causing the blow) than getting the sports cat. But its up to you at the end of the day mate
