Plus I'd like a year or 2 of having vaguely sensible insurance premiums before having to declare the car as modified.
In addition TinTin, am I right in thinking you had the Stage 2? That's one stage further than I want to go but I can see how that would make more of a change than the mild Stage 1 I am considering.

I think this is the way to go. I'm no expert but I constantly hear from other people that you should always remap after doing the exhaust not before, otherwise you have to remap again afterwards to take account of the different, probably more free-flowing exhaust.
I even heard, not sure how true this is, if you change to a more free flowing exhaust but stay on the old map that was specific for the restrictive exhaust, you can actually lose some power/torque.
