What year is the car?

Later cars have a GPF which takes away some of the noise and restrict your options.

If you don’t have a GPF, the M Performance exhaust is a popular option. Remus make a backbox for cars with and without a GPF but it’s not cheap.

You could consider an exhaust mod from someone like PCW or Bob Williams.

Yup, GPF will be fitted to that.

I’d start with an OE exhaust mod from PCW. It’s £300 or so and most who have it done seem really pleased with it. A Remus is about £1,300 which is a bit strong.

Where are you based? Bob Williams is up north (can’t remember where). His mods are backbox only rather than the res as well like PCW. Think he charges £180.
