I have a 2001 MK3 Chimaera 450, which I love. What's the best exhaust system. The pre cats have been removed but the main cat remains. Cannot really remove this unless i have 2 systems to swap. MOT . So leaving the cat in place what would be the best route to take. I have seen guys remove the main silencer & strip out the gut & straight pipe, then welsd back together. I do have a Tig welder & am a good welder with many years experience. Or I have seen cherry bomb route. Which again I can buy the bombs quite cheaply & fabricate myself for not a lot a money. But is there anything better out there. Loud is proud.

Thanks guys & gals. Yes i think it best to leave the main cat in. The precats were removed by previous owner.
I have a list saved of all the different length Cheery bombs. Not expensive either. Ideal as said above would be a system like my Ftype R I had. Switchable. I did rough sketch a plan but to get 2 valves & 4 pipes down the tunnel looked unworkable.
Will just drive it for now. As not had it that long & being doing the Brembo brake upgrade not really been anywhere.
