Are you going to map it or add a tuning box?

will prob just go for a straight mid pipe for couple hundred quid
Akrapovic are usually a bit pricey I think, never checked price of this one mind you.

My thinking for the type r at the moment is a straight mid pipe.

Well hopefully there is another Scotland drive this year and you bring it along.

I had two M135i's and they offer amazing power for the money.
As far as tuning goes your one stop Shop is a JB4 piggy back. You can switch it on and off (so in the wet you don't just spin off the road) and you get excellent gains. Mine ran around 36/370 bhp and 420 in ft torque which felt mightily quick! With a sports cat and maybe meth you are talking over 400 bhp. Would advise getting a diff (M Performance/AC Schnitzer is warranty friendly but pricey) or the Quaife diff. Quaiffe is fixed on so you won't get he money back but the others can be taken off when you sell as they are a much sought after item amongst the large 'M-Lite' crowd. Same with the JB4.
Enjoy! Awesome cars.

Zero looks a bit like a D??

Anyway, had a hoon with an M240 the other day. They're not bad up to around 70-80, certainly the new Golf R around here.

Less than 2 months old and some pikey cnuts have done this to it.

At least this solidifies my defensive parking ethos to the missus

Heck, I may even be tempted to do two spaces, even if that does grind Bam's teeth

You should have parked in a corner of the car park Dave. Mind you, they'd have probably hit the front then.
