Right next plans are turbo back exhaust, will be getting ian at pipewerx to do me a custom system, always used him in the past and is only down the road from me.
plans are for 2.5 inch downpipe and system with decat in there too. will have a silencer in there too as can't stand it being loud and ott. want twin round coming out the bumper. hopefully like so



just a case of getting it booked in at a suitable time

Turbo back £550 + vat, not too bad considering some downpipes and decats cost that alone

Any reason why your goin for the 2.5" instead of the 3"???

You will need the 3" to feel any kind of a difference mate.

You can technically run without an exhaust as all the back pressure is made before the turbo.

I just thought that 2.5" was a bit narrow. Thats the same size I had on my old XE corsa lol.
