Getting a whole load of work done on my car this Weds.
Getting a new Exhaust, but still can't decide if I want a Genuine Replacement, or a cat back from a reputable co.
I don't want it to drone, and don't want it to be loud. De-restictive and power gains would be good.
Who has done this? What Exhaust have you fitted, how does it sound? (pretty subjective I know) and What Quantifiable Power gains have you had?
Sorry for the stern message lol, I'm just really confused!!
Thanks,
Rohit

Thanked 9 Times in 9 Postshi,im running my c70 with a grahem welch 3 inch downpipe with decat mated to a 2.5 inch jetex duplex cat back....lovely burble when pottering along.....sounds awesome on boost and the decat has definately upped the horses by a few...ive read somewhere that a 3 inch decat can add around 15 bhp.....certainly feels like it Originally Posted by Rogo1806
