we have HKS exhaust and centre plus TSL downpipe on our my00
Works just fine for us but I'm sure they'll be many different opinions...

Exhausts are personal choices, someone may say run a HKS but it may not be you, you may prefer a scoobysport one or a scoobymania one, you may even prefer a blitz but it depends on what your after?
Best thing to do is go to a meet, see which exhausts people run and decide on that
Alot of people run scoobysport as its a nice compromise in sound and performance (and the fact that your not going to see seriously big gains between all the exhausts listed for our cars between manufacturers).

Down to personally and how much you want to spend and noise levels. I have three different components by three different companies on mine seems to work well. If you go for a UK tuners exhaust then any warranty and fitting problems will be easily sorted.

Just remember the louder and bigger the exhaust doesnt mean the car is more powerful . Also it wont give you 320bhp by decatting a UK turbo

On a full decat your probably looking at 20 to 30bhp gains but this can vary from car to car (fuel types etc).

i've got the scooby sport back box which sounds fantastic and am going for their downpipes too and will probably match with the T75 centre section (as that still has a cat for my MOT!)

I love the sound of the scooby sport, it's AWESOME. But fantom's got an HKS Hiper straight through on his WRX and that is much louder (funnily enough).

As has already been said, it's about personal taste. I like the sound and look of scoobysport, but magnex do a twin if you want to keep that look. Personally I didn't go for HKS cos I didn't want a 5" hole hanging 2 inches off the ground.
Just make sure you're happy with your choice.

Don't for get the very fine TSL exhaust systems... especially the very sweet Firestorm. If I didn't have HKS I would have had that!

Just to add I have a full De-cat ScoobySport system & I love it to bits

Edited to add that with an ITG air filter my MY98 Terzo ran 260BHP at PE earlier this year
