My exhaust is now officially fucked so i need a replacement and thought whilst Im there I may aswell get a full stainless system to replace the lot. Its a Corsa B 1.2 16v. any ideas wot to get? e.g. best mix of build quality, looks, performance & a nice sporty sound without being over the top. I dont want something that will deafen me but I still want it to sound loud when i boot it. Ive been told not to get a Powerflow cos they rust so was thinking either Magnex, Scorpion or Remus. Opinions and ideas please. Thanks

so wot about Piper exhausts then? and where can i get a Sebring system from? ive seen some corsas were the tail pipe isnt coming out of the back of the bumper straight. I want one that is straight cos it will look shit otherwise!
Ur Sebring one looks good Ash. 1.2 16v has the CAT at the front does this mean that I have to get a different exhaust to say a 1.2 8v in order for it to fit properly?

Mine sounds very deep actually, but I think the 8v engines generally have more of a burble than the 16s. Pops loads too when you back off the throttle. 
BTW, mine stuck out too far when I first put it on, must be a Sebring thing... ended up cuttin about two inches off the end of the cat pipe, but it fits perfectly now...
