Default Exhaust advice please

Hi there every one, I am after some advice from all you knowlegable people!

My 04 plate STI has standard exhaust on it still, the car has had an Ecu TeK remap and has a panal filter, i am now looking to change the exhaust, this is where the problem begins..................................

I looked into buying a sport cat but not keen on this at nearly £500 a throw, but on the other hand i dont want to de cat it as dont want the hassle of fitting the cat back on for MOT, I have been talking to Alan at engine tuner in Plymoth as this is where the car as bought from as i want him to do the work and remap. and he has suggested a mongoose system with rolled tail pipe, i dont want anything too loud or too in your face!!!

So the question is what is the best thing to do, leave it well alone as it is or go cat bac, is anyone running cat back and what do they think to it!

Thanks in advance!

Im sure you can get a sports cat downpipe cheaper than that. I only paid £300 for mine 2 years ago. Sports cat and full system is the best option.
