		Ok ill keep it short and to the point.
I have a phase 1 306 xs.
As you will all know it comes with the same engine as the original saxo vtr. and basically the same as S2 106 rallye's.
todays question is this, what exhaust do i need, and or what can i use and adapt to fit. nobody on the entire internet seems to know!
its a 106 engine in a 306, do i need a 306 catback, and a 106 manifold, with some sort of cat in the middle??
im after that raspy rallye sound.. 
i have taken some pictures but they are taking a lifetime to upload to photophucket.
the main question people have asked is about the route the manifold and downpipe takes. I can confirm that the exhaust after leaving the manifold goes OVER the subframe, does it do this in the vtr?? then i assume** the catback follows the same route as the 306 normally does.
any help appreciated.

		The powerflow i had on my '6 came from a 1.6 IIRC just needed an adaptor to fit to the 1.6 cat

		Do you think a 2.5inch magnex system would be too big for a cat back on a 1.6?? And where can I source an adapter type thing?
Also does anyone know where a 1.4 cat is the same dimensions and fit as a 1.6?

		I wouldn't wanna go more than 2.25" on a 1.6, people who run supercharged 6's sometimes run 2.5" but there's no need on a 1.6

		I've decided to, for now, put my old gti6 magnex backbox on to the standard system. its got a custom 2" inward rolled tip so should sound cheeky.
future plans will include getting a vtr tubular manifold, fitting the rest of the magnex, which is 2.5" with the mid box removed. And having a custom manifold to cat pipe made. 
i havent got the money for pipers £1000 system!!! so ill make do with my frankenstein rasper. thanks for all your help.

		We're about are you?
You could come see us at Topgear performance in Doncaster, we could make you a system exactly how you want it.
