Welcome, meh to the rims. They arent that hideous, wait til you need new tyres and then do both at the same time.

Turn that catback into a turbo-back, add some whiteline goodies and enjoy!

Catback = nice sound, litttle more poke

Turboback = BETTER SOUND (turbo whistle), more response and pulls alll the way to redline

Turboback = Catback + Up-pipe.

The stock up-pipe has 2 CAT CONVERTERS! so extremely restrictive!

Fixed

To turn a catback into a turbo-back all you need to do is add the downpipe and mid pipe however some aftermarket downpipes include the mid-pipe.

Ideally you can should lose one of those cats and replace it with a freer flowing single cat. Try to find a downpipe that has it's cat as close to the turbo as possible.

You'll need a tune as well once you get a TBE

Not compulsary. Maximises the benefits but it doesn't change too much and won't blow the car up.

I thought your car would be running lean if you don't tune?

Spoke to the dudes at STechnic about this and they said that the difference is minimal. The main reason to get a tune is to get the best out of the freer flowing exhaust, considering a verso tune is around a 1000 bucks for the first tune its worth waiting until its essential.

Anyway, enough thread hijack! Keep us updated abs and try and get down to a meet sometime!
