hi all im looking for a new exhaust but dont want to pay big bucks for 1!!!! im looking to spend no more than £300 and want it to sound a bit louder when i put my foot down!! not rally car loud tho... any ideas whats about???

slightly unrelated but I'm just having a Powerflo 3" exhaust system custom made for My mazda6 MPS for £350 with twin back boxes (mps comes as standard with twin back boxes). I've had custom stainless exhaust made a few times in the past and they always seem to get the sound and look spot on. Could be worth you finding your local Powerflo garage. It can usually even keep the standard look if you want.

I went for the PlayMini, look it up on YouTube (R53+PlayMini). Sounds really nice, is made from stainless steel and was really easy to install. Problem is: £465
