I'm looking for a complete exhaust system (with sports catalyst!). Which one do you
suggest and how much do they cost? (not too loud...)
I have back box and downpipe fitted (UK-MY98).
Comparison between complete exhaust system and back box&downpipe? (Is it
worth the money?)

Hi Ric,
There are three options I can think of straight off the top:
1. Get ScoobySport to modify your mid section to removed the cat and resonators (cost=45GBP). This is good for around 10lb.ft of torque, but you'll need to get an OE mid section for MOTs. It's a simple matter to swap them over, I have been told.
2. Go to PE and get their sports-cat mid section. You're looking at over 400GBP including VAT and fitting, bit I would expect good results. I was going to do this, until I discovered how cheap option (1) is!
3. Get a Magnex mid-section with a removable cat. I don't know any more details about this option, other than the fact that it exists. I'm sure someone else will come along and fill in the blanks soon...

Ric,
I agree with Stef.
I did some testing at PE of the difference that the mid-section makes, over the down-pipe & backbox (both from Scoobysport).
By cutting away the expansion box in the mid-section, to make it a straight through system you increase response and low end torque by quite a bit.
Cheapest way to do this, is yourself. Next cheapeast - go to Scoobysport & Pete will sort it out for under £50.
If you check out the dyno site below and search under Tim King, you will see the comparison.
