Im very tempted to buy a Magnex full exhaust system
with 3" tailpipe at £270 for my 1.6si.

Has anyone got one in or know anyone with one in, if so what they like? They loud??
Will there be any gain in BHP. I have a k&n induction kit installed too.

thanks

d0c :devil:

You are not going to get huge power increases from an exhaust and air filter on a Si.

Magnex, Mongoose are the exhaust to go for.

Scorpion suck!!!!!

Just fitting an exhaust is not going to drastically change your car. Everyones car is different, some cars would gain some cars would lose power. It all depends on what happens on the day, the engine, the rollers, atmospheric temperatures....etc......etc.......

4" is the ONLY size to have ;) :D

i was gona go for a 3" but thought otherwise. I have to say the main reason i went for the Magnex over the Moongoose was that is is aot quieter. So do take this into account doctor. Sayin that it does sound sweeter. :wink:
