Don't get confused with chipping and remapping. Its the same thing nowadays. Years ago it used to be chips but now the ECU has a flash card in it which basically gets re-written with a new program for fuelling.

There is a difference between a live map and a generic map though. A live map is one which is unique to your engine and is done on the rolling road. A generic one is a Superchips map which is a program that has been set up on a test car and is then used on all cars. That go for Superchips.

what sort of exhaust,and how much would it cost me fitted approx vocky.

Cost for a full exhaust can depend on who does it, and what materials are used. Most full cat back systems I've seen custom made cost between £500 and £600 fitted. If you were to go to a place such as ExhaustsUk in Sheffield, you can also tell them what sort of exhaust note you want, and they can tune the box for you as they are making it.

I had a custom made stainless steel cat-back system fitted by LongLife for £275.

SORRY CHAPS!! My statement of the above figure of £275 was complete and utter 8ollocks!! I looked up the receipt and it was £374 inc. VAT fitted. This also had a 10% discount on it because I was a member of VxlSCC. Its been on there 2 years now too!!
