Finally posting a pic of my Scoob
Discussion
I wouldn't go with Prodrive pipes as there are plenty of other manufacturers of proper exhausts for the Scooby that will turn out cheaper in the end and be just as good if not better. Try Millek, TSL, Magnex, Powerflow, Janspeed etc... and liberate 20/30bhp straight away. Just make sure you have just 1 CAT in place, in the downpipe for MOT/emissions purposes but make sure you get a decat uppipe too for max effect.
All as good as anything Prodrive will supply and nicer sounding without being offensively loud!!
Green Panel performance air filter is where you want to go as they flow 45% more air than a standard OEM filter and they are a direct replacement. Highly reccomended and will sharpen up throttle response.
Forget the dumpvalve unless you are running lots of BHP. The standard recirculating dumpvalve is very good at what it does and nice and quiet. Too much Pffffsssstttt from an aftermarket BOV, after a while will drive you mad.
If you change the exhaust you will need a remap to cater for the fact that you are losing CATS and the ECU will throw up CEL error codes and not run as well as it could. The air filter mod on it's own will be fine without any further ECU tweaks.
If you do get all those mods done but don't do the ECUTEK i have some non-ECUTEK Stage1 and Stage2 maps that will go very nicely with the above mods and let you at least reap some benefits from what you've done, until you decide an ECUTEK map is what you want and can afford it.
Zen Performance in Wellingborough do ECUTEK for £550+VAT for your first map, they are awesome tuners, very well respected in ScoobyLand and really know their stuff, or try Powerstation in Tewksbury, or Andy Forrest up in Scotland, East Lothian. Any of these would sort you out if you want to spend that sort of money.
