    What kind of style box you after mate, will make it easier for people to reccomend. Size, outward rolled, inward rolled, burnt tip (GAY), oval, dual pipe etc

    im not sure, i dont want anything too loud but noticable if you know what i mean. no more than 4inch, and probs be an oval. ill prolly be going for a powerflow system if that helps.

    Powerflow are great if you don't mind going back to the fitters every 2 weeks to stop it blowing or hitting the back bumper.

    Never had any problems with mine!! or anyone else i know who's had a powerflow here in Derby! tbh though, it depends where you get your Powerflow fitted, and who fits it! the guy who does the ones here in Derby has like 20+ years fitting exhausts and is very good at it too imo!

    Unless you have had a bad experience personally with a company I dont think its fair to put people off a particular company or product

    In my opiuon there is nothing wrong with a custom build as long as its done well.

    As for 'off the shelf items' then, you really need to ask what your after:

    Performance and Quiet - Magnex or Janspeed
    Performance and bit of noise - Scorpion, Mongoose or Piper
    Performance and Lot of Noise - Ashley or OMP

    Most of the top manufactures list a stainless steel twin box (centre box and back box) system for around £250 - £300 depending on brand and seller.

    A system without a centre box should see slightly more performance but at the cost of extra noise.

    For the best power gains budget for a 4branch manifold as well, as this will get the gases out of the head quicker and into the performance exhaust.

    Either a 4-2-1 or 4-1 will see gains in performance
