Not sure which "Vauxhall," you spoke to as they told a different story to me. While sitting on the fence they said "It's your choice (as they would fit either anyway) and it comes down to noise or quality!"
I wont say which one applies to which but I think you can work out which is which.

Maybe im slow. Most on here swear by Wortec and i thouhgt viewed the Walkinshaw option as cheap and cheerful. But if by noise you mean louder, in bimodal form it is not. walkinshaw themselves admit that at small throttle openings in loud it is no differnet to in quiet, and at WOT the bimodal is quiter than the Supercar version. So if you are referring to Walkinshaw as the noisy one then I would say no way except possible for the supercar version.
Then again maybe you are saying the Walkinshaw is a quality piece of kit and the wortec is just loud.....

Having a Wortec cat back fitted soon , is it louder still with the Wortec headers and sports cats and improved breathing fitted ? also I assume there is no power gain with the cat back but is there with the other add ons ive mentioned
Many Thanks Marco
We went cat back and then headers(both Wortec) and yes there is a big difference in sound. Beautiful raspy, popping sound Many Thanks Marco

Sorry guys if my message appeared confusing. To clarify, the Vauxall mechanic boys reckoned (not me as I would barely no one end to another) Walky exhaust was very well made and the Wortec one was prone to the odd problem and not made of as good material.
However when it came to a sound test the Wortec was much louder and so that was the route I took.

Interesting. Since the Walkinshaw one is cheaper..... It is quiet at gentle throttle openings and in car at motor cruises, but still loads of fun at WOT with the windows down, and from all accounts for following cars. I was told that driving behind me was a liability as all oncoming cars stared over their shoulders to see what it was/what was making the noise as they veered into the oncoming traffic......

Mmmm. Did he make that up? Wortec is exhaust is 304 grade stainless steel. Not sure anyone makes exhaust from something better, unless its titanium!
