If the tip is rusty there stands a chance the rest of the system isn't too great so I'd plan to renew from the cat back, new there's a trader in Germany who can supply these exhausts, Autodoc also list one, or if you fancy something with a little more noise you could go for a stainless system supplied by Cybox and request a rolled in slash cut to keep the original look.

Agree with Joe, I had the same issue and fitted a cat back Cybox system which was a great fit and suits my 20v NA. Love the soundtrack that goes with it

I have that system fitted on my Plus. The tailpipe is quite a bit larger diameter than standard, and it sticks out at the back quite far. The centre pipe diameter is larger than OE so I had to use a sleeve to fit it to the cat. But otherwise well made and good value for money.
At least I think that's all correct, from memory, fitted quite some time ago!

I'd echo Dave's comments. Seems well made, but I also had to sleeve the cat to join it up. I find the sound in keeping with the car, but it's definitely louder and has more of that low rumble you'd expect with a stainless exhaust.
I would also say that if your car is NA then it might be louder again as we've got a turbo in the exhaust system that takes a good deal of the noise out.

Thanks PeteP for the advice. I have this job in mind to be done within the next month. The car isn't being driven at the moment, actually I have yet to drive it at all. The only other coupe I've driven is a 20V Turbo, 22 years ago!
