Not looking to do the car in 'stages', would rather just spend the money upfront. Works out cheaper in the long run, have learnt that lesson many times over.
Agree that rubber/brakes/suspension should be upgraded to match. Will be doing this at the same time as well, parts already arriving and I don't have the car yet.
Your next point about the front pump, I assume is a typo and should say front pipe. Bugger, I was hoping to keep stock exhaust for a more stealth look, but looks like this isn't an option. Thanks for the advise.
No issue with a reflash system, as keeping driveability is number one focus. As long as we can fine tune here I see no issue. I will go and talk to my tuner on Monday whether he has come across the system before, and what his thoughts are.
Cheers.

Actually i bet you could still get away with the stock cat back, just replace the over pipe and front pipe, to get rid of some restriction and bottle necking. Exhaust gasses as the go through the exhaust start to shrink because of them cooling down the further it goes through the exhaust system. So depending on how much power you want to make, i think you'd be alright at 280whp on the stock cat back.
