Horses for courses really, loads out there, how noisy do you want it?

Powergains are only really had if it's a de/sports cat and a remap otherwise just go for a backbox.

I had a TSL group N back box on mine for a while which sounded great personally save your money and go stage 1 (decat plus filter and remap).

As above really, you wont really see much difference just from a Cat Back, just more 'Burble' depending on what you go for.

Most Cat Backs are advertized as +10 BHP, but in the real world, you wouldnt even notice that.

Ive a BNIB SS centre section that will remove the resonator in the middle, just before the back box. Yours for £40 if you want.
