'Tom-Cat' V.S Janspeed Sports Cat

Am very keen on fitting a janspeed manifold to my milltek cat back, was just wondering if there is much difference in performance/noise between the Tom-Cat pipe offered by 1320 & the Janspeed Sports Cat ?

Tbh it is mainly the increase in noise that i am after :P As long as i am not losing performance then i am not too fussed about a few hp here or there

A straight through pipe and a bike can on the back will give about 120db, which is about the same noise as Concorde at V1 and should make the neighbours windows rattle a treat at 5am in the morning.
Also to add to the noise make sure the stereo only works, on full volume, when all the windows are down.

We only made the Tom cat as the Janspeed sports cats are really good....untill about a year. Then they start to fall apart which is bad.

The sports cat is great for performanceand that is why 1320 are working to have a brand new sport cat soon.

Noise wise sports cat and de-cat are the way to go.

Awesome Would certainly be interested in that =]
Definetly want to keep a cat on, because i only really use my car on the road and it will be a pain having to fit a cat everytime i am due for MOT!

Any idea if the Milltek sports cat is any more reliable ?

Ty for the reply Your advice is much appreciated
