Exhaust Mods…. (UK)

Soo i would like my car to pop, bang and also throw flames.

My question is what is your recommendations? Or any suggestions?

I was going to PCW exhaust mods to have the following done:
• backbox mod
• resonator delete
• secondary decats

I was also looking to get some decatted down pipes

From when I spoke to F80paul he said I will need full decats for him to do me a custom tune allowing the car to throw flames when popping

I do not want to change my exhaust as I like the finish at the back and also I like how it sits with my carbon fibre diffuser

Please let me know what you think and what you're recommendation/suggestions would be. Any advice would be appreciated

All pops n bangs are done via the ECU tune, so speak to your tuner. FYI if you keep the OEM cats, then you’ll destroy them over time as your essentially just sending fuel through them. If you decide to decat then you obviously don’t have that issue but you’ll have a problem passing the UK MOT.

I use BM3 myself to do the tuning. MOT not really a issue. I can get that passed.

Do you think I need to decat the downpipes too?
