Popped to BCS this evening to chat with Nigel...  Great set up he has there and a top fella....

Decided on the prestige full system with the sports cat and lightning tips after chatting to him about the options

Can't wait now!

Il be looking to order a system for my car in the next few weeks hopefully. sports powervalve is the one I want however I already have a decat  and pretty sure read somewhere the power valve only comes as a full system which is out of my budget at the moment.

does anyone have just a bcs sports system non power valve that can tell me what its like?

I am having a BCS sports prestige (non power valve) system fitted at AKS at the moment. Haven't heard it yet so can't tell you what it sounds like (collecting tomorrow) but one of my worries is that it will be too loud.

I like my ed30 because it flies under the radar and doesn't attract too much attention. I spoke to Nige at BCS and it is possible to buy the powervalve rear silencer and connect to my already fitted BCS decat + downpipe. Price was very reasonable so I may well take him up on the offer.

What's the feedback on the prestige system, I do about 25k a year so don't want drone or too loud, or too teenager-y when pulling out of customer sites

I have the Prestige system and for me the exhaust is loud enough. I do have to open a window if I want to hear it at its best. No drone and AFAIK any BCS exhaust with a silencer doesn't drone.

No drone on the Sport (valved version) either. Although now I've removed the parcel shelf it's certainly quite loud and angry when you're on boost. Just how I like it! It's probably quieter with the window open now in fact

Not sure if it's been covered in this thread, but I'm sure Nige can fit a bespoke size middle silencer - you could have it quiter than Prestige if you wanted.

I'm the guy who originally set up the thread and got nothing but praise for the prestige powervalve with the sports cat...  Really pleased with the sound. No drone at all and can drive casually and it's kept to a minimum, but when  you boot it it opens up and sounds perfect for me...  I live in a fairly quiet area and am 39 years old and got kids who travel in the car with me a lot so the last thing I wanted was daft noise or drone....  But no drone at all and a gorgeous noise whenever I fancy opening  it up...  The guys there are brilliant and will ask what it is you want from the system and then advise and you sound like you are after what I asked for from them and they recommended I get the prestige...  I worried it might be too quiet but I'm happy I went for this now
