Default Which stainless steal exhaust for classic turbo?

My 2000/X classic is pretty standard but I would like to change the exhaust. I want a smallish tailpipe (not 5in or anything crazy) and not really loud but I don't know which one to choose? Will I actually see any power increase if I replace the system as opposed to just putting a tailpipe on? I've been offered a Prodrive system which is for sale locally, are these recommended?

Prodrive are hardely louder than oem. You should aim for a 2.5" pipe with a 3" exit. I had one on my classic, sounded nice without being too loud. I recently upgraded it to a 3" with a 5" exist! Now that's not to everyone's Tate, sounds really throaty And burbly. As in power increases with be minimal without map and supporting mods. Exhaust swap including a centre decat, air filter and map will produce a good drivers car.

Thanks for the suggestions, if the Prodrive one I'm going to look at this weekend turns out to be mince then I think I'll probably go for one of the systems from scoobyworld.

A full decat releases about 40bhp on a late uk classic so makes a considerable difference, I changed my 5 inch eBay special for a scorpion which is much more civilised but still sounds nice on boost
