Hi, i have the same car as you and to start with I changed the exhaust to a straight pipe cat back off eBay. Made a difference in noise straight away, IMO I liked it. But i fancied a bit more so decided to decat it as well. Sounds much better, I noticed better mpg? Guess its because the turbo doesn't have to work as "hard" and the boost kicks in sooner also.
