What back boxes can i get for the price a a relacement £219 i Like the twin round style, but being new to VW's im not sure on what is best

Any Suggestions

I don't know if you are after any kind of "upgrade", but Milltek Sport http://www.millteksport.com/ are regarded as the best pipes for VAG cars.

Powerflow stuff is usually decent enough. I paid £170 for a fastflow box and twin tail. All that has since gone to be replaced by a race big bore downpipe coming off the turbo, and 2.25" stainless pipe going to an oval tail. That's all my exhaust is now and it's awesome. I will always maintain THE best TDI exhaust you can have is no exhaust at all. All thats needed is a pipe and you something that performs better than a £600/£700 branded system.

Yep. Most TDI modders in the US perform a 'Mufflerectomy' as they like to call it. They just buy some steel pipe, have it bent to shape, and fit it from straight behind the downpipe. The turbo muffles enough of the sound, and a lot of them claim less turbolag due to better flow/backpressure. They also suggest leaving the pipe stick out behind the rear bumper by a few inches to prevent droning sounds, but in general they sound only ever so slightly louder than the standard exhaust, but with a nicer turbo whine.
Search 'mufflerectomy' on youtube.com and you see some videos.
