A true Group n exhaust has the same style of neck design at the turbo outlet as a standard downpipe, ie a relatively small outlet. These aren't the best design for maximum power, you want an open necked one for that. My mates is a Mongoose and on his STi6 its recently been measured at 102dB. IIRC my old Scoobysport was about 98dB.

If your after something a bit different, you could try the OMP GPN or GPA exhaust available from Demon Tweeks. Only mild steel so will rust, but its cheap and should give a nice soft sound rather than the tinny sound you get with stainless steel.

True GR N exhausts are also quick release.They have springs(sleeved) rather than bolt type flanges.This makes them rattle a bit more too.So if you don't know about it you may think something is loose under the car

Just been chattin to various suppliers and dont think mild steel is the way to go - and right about the rattles!!

Just been quoted £430 for Magnex downpipe, centre and back section. Been looking around and seems a good proce. What dyu think?
