I would normally agree but the mountain of evidence against the outstandingly crude silencing (sic) of standard factory exhausts screams for more pepper.

Try a car fitted with stage 1 kit. You will find yourself changing up at much lower revs simply because you can

Just one more great reason for divorce. It's expensive BECAUSE it's worth it!

I think they have always had supply problems with the Stage 1 kit. I waited 4 months.
I guess the shortage is holding up the production line so maybe it would be an idea to take delivery of the car and put a kit on back order?
It is a £1200 option on a new car and as far as I know there is no allowance on the very expensive standard exhausts they don't fit. The parts to retro fit a Stage 1 cost £859.74p inc VAT less fitting so there is no cost disadvantage even if you paid the dealer to fit it. You also get to keep the standard silencers..
As Richard W says, it is like having a better gearbox fitted (well worth it)
Stick with it. Hope it all works out for you. It will be worth it in the end.

So how loud is it? I wouldn't want to go any louder. Hope these help.

The VIN plate states 95dBA which I would assume is with the standard exhausts.

My MMC Stage 1 "passed" a Goodwood 98dB noise test but I suspect was a few over as they wouldn't tell me what the reading was.

My G56 pipes also passed the Goodwood test, but it really depends on who wields the noise meter on the day. There's a Mr Grumpy and a Mr Happy - guess which of those two you need to worry about....

Or you can choose Magnaflow for under $300.00 if you can do the work yourself or a little more to have them installed! I can't see how you can beat the Magnaflow sound or added performance improvements!

Thanks for all the replies, guys.
I have gone ahead with the standard pipes (as had no other choice) and then will get my dealer to retrofit G56 pipes after I take delivery of the car from the factory.
G56 currently don't have their stage 1 kit in stock but they have said new stock of the exhausts should be coming "within the fortnight and the air filter cover assemblies within the month". I have put myself down on their waiting list.
High Noon, your Magnaflows look and sound great but I have no mechanical expertise whatsoever so I'll be leaving it to my dealer to install the G56 kit.

I agree the Magnaflows look good, but they will be much louder than the G56 pipes - simple physics and the size of the silencers dictates that. Having sat in the Krazy Cafe above their dyno room yesterday, I can confirm that the G56 pipes really make your cups of tea rattle and roll...! Imagine the noise with a much smaller silencer box

That's a fair assessment. On the hill out of Appledore the MMC variation will easily trigger perimetric car alarms.

my advice would be to drill the number one baffle of the stock pipes before you spend the money on the upgrade. You may find it makes just enough change to keep the pipes from getting overly hot without making the car ridiculously loud
