Zorst - yes, Blueflame or Miltek (not decided yet)
Intake - unlikely, probably will just go for a decent panel filter but I intend to call ITG too see if the new Maxogen will fit
Shortshift - No need my son - DSG FTW! Will be remapping that though 

I do plan to remap the ECU too - not for the small power gain but the for improved power delivery and throttle response. I'm waiting to see how Custom Code's VVT Attack performs on an 'impartial' dyno. If their claims are proven to be true, I shall heading to JBS for their ECU and DSG remap package. Failing that, it's off to C2 just up the road in Basingstoke.

I am interested to see how mapped cars dyno especially at Surrey RR as I think its a very accurate dyno.

As for Milltek and EVOMS I can demo those. 

Resonated or non? Very keen to hear one of these first hand. Bit concerned with the motorway drone that get reported with Millteks.

Ironically - I'm working on a big hearing-defense project at the moment, got a feeling some ear plugs might be in order at SRR!

Its a resonated Milltek but the EVOMS seems to have done a Spinal Tap with the volume control.

MikeB has a cat back res blueflame and its very subtle.  Which surprised me.

as nice as it sounds, takes a brave man to live with a non res

I'm going to have a play with the flapper mod, but reading up on it - it's less of noise thing and more of a back pressure thing to help with low-range torque. My concern with fitting an after market exhaust is that I'll loose some low-down torque which is kind of where I need it for my commute crawl to work.

the flapper mod, thats no more than disabling the diaphragm on the back of the exhaust dude

its there for EU noise regulations to keep the car quiet at low revs, once you build the revs the diaphram opens and the car runs at normal noise levels, by disabling it you'll only get a minor increase in noise levels (same as when your at higher revs) so kinda pointless although will crack a small smile but no where near as large a smile as an aftermarket replacement imho 

been there, done it

The flapper only appears to shut off one of the exhaust exits which is why one pipe is always cleaner than the other.

Res Milltek ftw or Capristo if you're feeling rich.

I appreciate its partly to do with noise but if you read into it, it's also to help with exhaust gas velocity which equates to back pressure which results in a little more torque at low RPM. I'm going to disconnect and block it off and see how I get on.

Thanks - The silver goes very nicely in my kitchen. 

It came from your neck of the woods actually Steve. It was bought and serviced at Peter Cooper.
