RS200 Exhaust Options

[ferry]

I'm looking at an RS200 which has a number of mods:

1. Induction Kit
2. KTec Manifold with decat.
3. Scorpion Sports Cat
4. Scorpion Cat Back

This gives me some issues with insurance (which I can probably move to another provider), but more practically it's just too loud for me so I need to look at options. I've previously had a 200 (a long time ago) which was on a stock system and was very quiet by comparison.

The manifold is the least easy option to change out. The induction kit is the easiest (and I would do that anyway).

I'm assuming most of the noise is coming from sports cat and cat back?
Would swapping 3 or 4 make the most difference? Or do I need to be both.
Could I just go back to stock cat and system?
Is that all one piece in the stock system or is the cat separate?
I'm struggling to find individual stock parts (or cars with them still on). Are the stock parts not durable?

Thanks

standard airbox, standard manifold on mine with the Akrapovic Evolution, sounds INCREDIBLE, Ive driven one with the Akra that also had the Ktec decat manifold and it sounded great, a tad too loud for me but quieter than the ones ive driven with Scorpions/ktec.

The scorpion cars were always too loud for me.

Id be tempted to get an Akra for it and standard airbox, then can always change your manifold back to stock to quieten it down if required

Stock manifolds the flexis fail but just have them replaced before refitting and make sure your engine mounts are in good condition
