   Looking to get a Cat back exhaust for our 2003 VTR but not a stupidly loud one, just a nice purr in the higher revs, anybody recommend any makes or sizes?

   Got a quote from our local exhaust centre, they wanted £290 for a cat back fitted with lifetime Guarantee, this good?

   meh - shop around,
   
   I know it's mild,
   but my exhaust system for my VTS cost 200 quid,
   supersprint straight through, to Piper Backbox

    Thanks for the help guys.
    
    We thought £290 was dear but i suppose when you consider thats fitting and everything its not too bad.
    
    The standard vtr one is about falling off

    290 isn't bad if your getting fitting included, i don't know of any where were you can buy the for £220 but £260-£270 seems a popular price
