quite a few vehicles have plastic sumps these days I was told. Probably only an issue if you scene bag it too low to drive.

Modern composite sump.
Isn't a BMW bootlid made of cardboard these days?

Get a sports cat imo. Jason's advice was sound.

I think the boot floor was on the M3GTR.

I'd like to see you do the clios in 15min

My ex-vw mechanic mate is going to fit the downpipe when I order one. Might check out a bcs power valve exhaust I think they come turbo back, but tbh I don't really need to change the rear part of the system for a stage 2 map.

BCS costs a fucking arm and a leg, miltek do the power valve aswell but only on 2.75 inch.
I'm looking at the relentless d/pipe. then sort the rest out later.

They recon a system isn't needed on mine up until about 500, just a down pipe.

The look and sound of my exhaust is alright tbh, sounds meaty enough

Have a clook at the Relentless downpipe then, Join the Tfsi page on facebook, guy on there does them, it's one of the only ones with the 3.5in flange that matches the turbo, the rest start at 3in.
Not a bad price too.

apart from if you make a complaint or say anything about the shit fitment you get banned from the group!
and the fitment on most of their gear is dire.
just like they're quality manifolds which are breaking/cracking left right and centre, all info magically gets deleted and covered up.

I'm in the same boat with my car now (focus ST) can't decide between a 200 cell sports cat or a decat pipe.

Mate has a scorpion custom built one on his mps. The tip has cracked 4 times now. And a couple of the welds have fallen to shit too.
I don't hear many bad things said about them other than dwaynes terrible experiences.
Bcs are fantastic. A lot of the lads I know with ed30's, golf r's and RS/s3's use them and they look and sound mega.

I have the scorpion on the S4, no problems so far and the quality is much better than the shitty milteks I've have on previous cars. The BCS systems are bloody expensive but supposed to be the best on the market for the vag range.
