Now I know if a scooby turned up with a Big Bore 4 fitted to his scooby hed get the ultimate slating, however what is the general idea of RAGE exhausts fitted to a full system?

Heres some pics for everyone:

I got no probs with a 4" exhaust...

Finishes the car off nicely...

I have a 4.5" exhaust - looks and sounds good IMHO

Those exhausts do look nice.

I think the idea is, they look good, & have no real power gain, hence, no insurance premium. I now have one of those, & the sound is really good. No difference to performance, but that wasn't why I bought it.

they also do dirt cheap cat replacement pipes, but not sure if they do them for scoobs

I didn't know that. I might just have to be looking into it.

What do you tell the insurance, if you get a decat? - not being strictly legal & all that?

tell them, they put your premium up:(
Don't tell them, risk invalidaing your cover:(

rage exhausts are popular with the saxo/corsa/micra chaps
