Full supersprint system Inc manifold is going to be hard to beat tbh! Well worth the money!

as a current exhaust thread here we go, first post so hi guys!
Been offered a 1.4 saxo (mk1) at a silly price from a mate that i know looks after his cars and is in good nick so i shall be a saxo owner before the weekend is over!
Now it has the standard exhaust on it at the moment - i am going to be looking into putting a new (full) system on it - problem is, im a bit lost. I want a raspy sound that bangs and pops - my MGB sebring track car screams but has a deeper sound (not that i would dare put the race system on a sax!), i want something that is a lighter rasp that pops and bangs (im sure you are all aware of the note i am looking for). what do you guys recomend?
I am new to french cars (car history has been seat, nissan, BMW, MG and holden although i had a clio that was kept completely standard) so will i be able to use a vts manifold and system? I would persume so as arent the main engine differeces that the vts is a bored out (obviously from factory) 1.4 with a 16v head on it?

8v exhaust port spacing is different so you need an 8v manifold.
If you want to maximise power and get a truely great sound then as DanT mentioned.
The full Supersprint system with Supersprint manifold and Race Exhaust is rather nice.

Thanks,
So the VTR manifold will fit? I am all for a bit of fettling but I think i shall leave the TS mani for the 16v head in that case!!

Supersprint "2 is by far the best, raspy, pops with suitable mods

I dont think theres a better flowing exhaust than the supersprint and the KAM Racing ones.
