It certainly won't go like a VR but there are some decent systems or just back boxes out there that sound good, i run a scorpion stainless cat-back system on mine and its quite deep sounding but not loud, others will prefer jetex/magnex etc.

How about a modified airbox for some free induction noise?

A decent backbox from Magnex/Jetex/Scorpion/Remus etc and a straight through pipe to replace the "suitcase" silencer for a little more noise. Leave the cat and the other middle box in and it won't be stupid loud. Can pick up something cheap second hand from here or eBay, I got a nearly new Remus box for £37 posted!

[Itteh]

would this help? and will i just have to replace the cat with this pipe?

Removing centre box makes em really chav sounding

Did it on mine when it was a 8v. Had a magnex system which was very quiet till I removed the box

You could hear my induction kit also

Sorry to jump in here but.. While you guys are on this one.. i don't like my standard exhaust system either, it's pretty crap infact, i have a new 'tyre & exhaust centre' back box but that'll fall apart again after a year as they tend to do..

Mine also has resonating waves in the exhaust at certain revs, i don't know if that's normal with these motors but to me it adds to the feeling of more crapness!

What do you go for as a good quality full replacement system without particularly wanting a performance job or any added noise.. ?

Cheers all

Just has a browse on the Jetex stuff.. seems like the answer, the 26-HR system.
Thanks for the pointer.

i trawled through ebay for a few weeks and got a longlife system for £80, ive had a fair few systems and it sounds great nothing like the chav crap of a piper system on my old 1.8t. combine that with a larger inlet on the rather restrictive air box and vent it to some cold air from the bumper and it should sound noticeably raspier.
