Mk3 Octavia vrs exhaust upgrade

[hazzaardous]

Looking to replace the OEM exhaust on my MK3 octavia vrs. 

 

What are your suggestions? The stock exhaust just sounds so quiet, my car is at stage 1 so feel it will compliment it nicely. Also should I go down the route of resonated or non-resonated???

I just put a res delete on my 245 and its been brilliant for the 25k miles I've ran it

Does this make the car drone?

I think you have to be careful about what you buy, mine doesnt drone at all

Probably worthwhile trawling the forum, as this question gets asked a lot:

I think it's best to make sure you have your requirements in order re:

* £££ willing to spend

* Noise-only, or noise + actual power gains

* How long you'll have the car / if it'll affect warranty (ownership or leased)

 

As in my post above, I've got a turbo-back (+ downpipe) resonated Scorpion exhaust which I love. Wasn't cheap, but extremely high quality and can't fault it. The non-resonated setup I had installed at first was ridiculously droney and ruined the enjoyment of driving the car (mine is also Stage 1).

 

The replacement centre silencer (resonated) makes it a dream to live with, low or high mileage journeys, and the sound is excellent! Can't recommend enough, but as I say, decide on the price you're willing to part with.
