Milltek or bcs exhausts seems to be the people's choice on here
You won't need a 3" catback system unless your chasing high bhp figures because 2.75" restricts the exhaust gases
I've gone for a 3" downpipe and sports cat/decat into a 2.75" system  :happy2:

Again, Milltek or BCS Power valve are the top recommendations on here, and I'd personally opt for a full 3" system (like the BCS) as you may as well fit an exhaust that'll handle any engine modifications you later decide to do.

I agree with the above, I have the 3" BCS full sports system. This exhaust is immense rumbles and when the turbo spools it fires up. Excellent if you want to achieve great figures and a increased level of pressure and back flow. This exhaust stands out compared to the others, for example milltek. Hope this helps !

I really like the Blueflame exhaust I had fitted around 3 years ago. Mine's a turbo-back with a sports cat and I've had the rear suitcase silencer deleted. Gives a nice growl under load, but it perfectly silent when cruising.

I think they offer discounts for forum members too.

Was looking at these on eBay because haven't got much money so was thinking this would be okay to start with
Also I work in a garage so will be able to fit it and cut the 2.5 inch off and weld 3inch on

You can get a Milltek cat back for the same price as that Scorpion one.

BCS or Cobra exhausts have a big following now

Are you mapped?
A full system without pre-cat can bring on the CEL light unless mapped I believe.

I am not mapped yet but I have removed the pre cat already and it's fine
