Morning all!!!
Seens as the Exhaust seems to be a fairly hot topic of conversation, especially recently, I thought it'd be interesting to see exactly who has what. So please post your vote on the Poll and if you've any positive/negative comments about performance/build quality of the Exhaust you have then let's hear them too. If there's a particular reason why you went for the system you have then that might be helpful for people who are looking to buy one.
Also, please state if you're Cat/Decat/100 Cell/200 Cell.
Videos welcome!!!
So, for me, I originally just chopped the centre-silencer out of the standard system;

Whilst it sounded great, in fact how RS should've made it to begin with, the flatspot was horrendous.
I then found a K-Tec 200 Cell Sports-Cat and K-Tec (Magnex) Cat-Back System for sale at a very good price. So I took the plunge and I have to say my first impressions were that the build quality was very good and it fitted perfectly too. Performance wise, Nicole seemed to rev a bit more freely after a week or so of it settling and there definitely felt like there was more ''oomph'' on the old Bum-dyno. As I fitted both parts together, it's hard to say how each would perform individually but they work very well together.
At my most recent MOT (yesterday), the emissions are no worse than with the standard Cat, but no doubt more free-flowing. At my most recent sound test (January) she read at 84DB @ 3/4 RPM. So, it's a loud system but it's not too OTT and to be honest I've had louder in the past so it just depends what you want from a system.
One thing I would say is that the flatspot was virtually non-existant with the setup and has remained so to this day;
