fit a full stainless system to my GSi...
I want to keep it standard tho (styling n all), so if I do, would be wanting something discreet, not too loud, yet offers good gains when engine is tuned up a bit...
Thinking max of 2.5" outlet...
any ideas?

probably in the region of 130-140bhp i reckon, maybe 150 if I get bored
if I lower it, will only want to go down about 15mm more... but will be springs/shocks or coilovers (IF i can find some which go that low, dont wana be major low!) as will be keeping the standard GSi wheels!

Bastuck are quality German exhausts,
i belive its only regal who do them in the UK?
Well only do the vaux ones?
Im thinking of selling my Irmscher back box soon for a full system by bastuck,
Gives v good power gains too
bastuck full system + lexmaul exhaust looking 12+ hp

broster - u have u2u
PainZ - surely the 12hp gains would be more linked to a slight bit of engine work too tho, cant really see that much of a gain from just the system & manifold surely??
Mind, I am kinda new to what these engines can do so

fair enough 
what filter then would you also say would be best to go with say a mantzel inlet manifold or something, yet still be able to use as standard on the X16XE until then...
as ya know I have a piper-x filter already, but the flatspot from 3.5 - 4k is really annoying me now
