I am contemplating improving the aural sound on my Works S

My dilema is do I >

Fit Milltech rear system?

Fit GTT manifold and keep JCW exhaust system?

Fit JCW manifold ?

I am after a better sound when booting it,but not intrusive sound in cabin when cruising.
Any ideas

or opinions

Personally I'd keep the Works cat back & add a GTT or Milltek manifold.
Wibbly's Works S sounds great with the Milltek manifold

Ray, If you've got the budget I'd go for the works manifold and cat, as the cats located in the middle of the car so less prone to damage from the little explosions of unburnt fuel that gives the popping sounds, seen a few cats get damaged from this on here, just my 2p

I didnt think Milltek did a separate manifold... i thought they did a combined Hi-flow cat and manifold?
