You are crazy to want a louder exhaust. Everyone will think you are a chav, it will do your ears in, annoy the f**k out of your neighbours etc etc
Its something you will grow out of IMO.
all you ever want to here is engine sound not exhaust

Yep, sticking a loud exhaust on a small engined car just makes you look daft, and you can tell from the sound that the car still has a 1.2 or whatever.
If you want proper noise, a set of carbs will do the job nicely, you don't need a loud exhaust when you've got twin 40's whirring and roaring under the bonnet.

Thats the issue with small engines & loud pipes. It takes forever for the noise to disappear out of ear shot.
A ferrari V10 will wail past for about 10 seconds. A 1.2 Nova with a Peco will still be droning away in the next street for about 2 minutes!

Contrary to popular belief, Noise is NOT power :roll:
What is you're 1.2? Carb and SPi's have different sounds with the same exhausts...
