Well i've had a few exhausts on mine, it currently has a Meercat custom exhaust (cat-back), with True 3" H&S (wrapped downpipe). I preferred the custom option as i could specify how loud i wanted it and have other input.

3" Cat-back £400, think their 3" Snakehead Downpipe is circa £350.

If they're good enough for C.McRae...

With custom you can see it built, know it's not tapered to 2.5" anywhere, plus:

- Specify noise level
- Exit style
- tailpipe
- etc

I basically had it made as least-restrictive as possible, and when compared to the Revo exhaust on there previous, you could see the difference in bends.

Meercat well recommended

I opted for dragger-style exit, burnt tip. (Would've liked a bigger tailpipe, as i think 4.5" suits the newage better) Here's some pics:

cant see the pics. is it possible to come of the prodrive cat with a 3"system and then straight through to the backbox with a custom build or does it have to come from the turbo, only i want to keep the cat in place as they are only supposed to be 2bhp on a decat and no probs at mot time.

I think the PD sportscat is 2.5", so you'd need a tapered cat-back going from 2.5" to 3" to mate to it.
