Piper tornado system, nice fit nice sound, decent power and usually only around ?160 for a system.

Depends on cost but I'd go for a straight through stainless steel.

Sounds about right. Mine was expensive because of getting it in different parts - cheaper if all done at once.

yeh i been thinking of a straight through system and i got a quote for about ?150-160, tht sound about rite

would that give me more power and how much bhp, car is standard at mo.

As with any bhp figure it depends on the condition of the engine. Generally the bigger the engine the more difference youll notice from the exhaust. The same for air filters. As for yours it might add 5-7bhp at a guess. Dont quote me though!

Burburly on idle, throaty on normal driving and very load when really driving... Most of its down to the backboxes though especially as Ive taken the bung things out.

Think theyll just give you a 7 day wonder and possibly ask you to re MOT it. Just smile sweetly if they pull you...!

ah, the joys of living in the country, crime = nil near enough.

It might be worth popping into powerflow if there's 1 near you. they do good custom systems for reasonable prices.
