are you after an oem or after-market exhaust?

Either bud. Ideally oem centre box. But also thinking that if one part is on its way out the rest won’t be far behind. If this is the case I’ll be looking for a catback system. Recommendations are also welcome.

Guessing your centre pipe has a leak? Mine was the same very recently, picked up  the miltek cat back non res in the black Friday sale. Even though its non res still only a little louder than oem  but nicer tone. Not a cheap solution to a blowing centre exhaust but future proofed after the cat for quite a while with a good quality system rather than welding custom bits here and there together as time goes on that may not be the best quality... that was my excuse anyway :grin:

Very true. I’ve had non res Milltek in the past and really rate them. To be honest i think i new i would go down this route. Like you say, it’s justifying it. It also keeps it looking stock which is important. Have a Pirelli and don’t want to stray too far from the standard look.

Could always go to Tony Banks.
He’ll make whatever you want, has a very good rep.

I bought a Gravity one off eBay, it’s really well made and sounds close to stock, but the tailpipe alignment leaves something to be desired... but it is cheap.
