You want to sort the decay before worrying about that. Rust is a saxos biggest killer.

if youre not popping flames with a straight through exhaust then the next 2 things would be to either put in a flamer kit, or tune your engine (throttlebodies etc.)

Mine was a VTS lump, standard manifold with an OMP manifold back system.. Spat flames like a hero until the crank had a hissy fit.

before you use your car jack the back end up and pour a gallon of straight petrol down the exahaust from the back box.
should spit some flames then.

Bigger injectors would do over fueling coursing it to pop bang flame ect!

You need a performance manifold and a de-cat (Straight through system) and a back box.
The exhaust has to be red hot for it to 'Spit flames'. I always get it when giving it some or when in high rev range. (Not spitting flames but some loud bangs and pops)
Spitting flames is bad so i've herd. Means your valve seals are wearing out. (I don't know if its true or not)

Our listing pages have cocked up. Jon has to run a process but we can only do it at about 3am when people are not on the website as it takes up a lot of server resources. Prices are right when you view the actual products.
Lucky we have a big website upgrade starting mid feb. Should solve these problems for good!

If you want flames + epic bangs, do what i did.
You need
1x rusted Sportex backbox that fell off going down the road earlier tonight
1x straight through pipe
1x 4-2-1 manifold
Oh and no cat.
With no back box gently 'blip' the throttle at around 2500Rpm and you'll hear BANG!
For the ultimate bang, its best if you go from gear 3 down to gear 2 and use the clutch for engine breaking. Sounds like a shot gun and you can feel it through the car lol.
