rite theres thaaaaasands of exhausts to choose from from everywhere, bastuck,BFO,magnex,janspeed,scorpion,remus, supersprint,piper etc and I dont know which way to go!!! I think I will get a full system, even though it will cost a lil more im hoping to go for a bit or a gruntier note,I wudnt mind seeing a few extra shetland ponies in my sxi 16v stable either so would like some help pleeeeeeeeease!!! I want a traditional round tailpipe or a 6x4 or would settle for a twin square etc, dont fancy a slash cut jobbie- any info would be great as its like trying to paint a fart deciding on quality n sound n performance n lookf etc

i bought a full magnex stainless system off here for 100 quid including set of lowering springs

check out classifieds for a cheap full system, much better than just back box

i was told, not if it applys to vauxhalls but a full system could really fu*k up your engine if you dont uprate the engine mounts and sort out the ignition timing resulting in a loss of horse power. which in away does make sense because the engine is not designed for a straight through pipe. but u do get a better sound with a full system! worth find out from somebody who knows more.
cheers mike
