   I have got one they are good exhausts not to loud bit got a nice roar when you put your foot down.The only thing is they can sit out abit far and you might have to cut say half a inch of the centre section for it to sit nicely,but you will be happy with it im sure.

   it dosnt matter what anyone else thinks,as long as you like it is all that matters,it all depends on what style & look YOU want for YOUR car,i had a magnex on my ax with a k&n filter & it sounded awesome,that was a few years ago tho,lol,

   I love mine, subtle but you can tell what you have got when you get above 3000rpm. Very popular for good reason

    I got mine from Ed Worthys and was £270 for the full system with the cat under the car. Ring them before you order and check the delivery times cause they will take the order even if its out of stock - I was waiting quite some time for mine to arrive...

    This spot on mate.
    
    As Saxo2 has pointed out above, its YOUR car and you should be able to decide what YOU want for it. I think this thread is besides the point anyway as you have allready ordered the Magnex exhaust. If you really wanted to know you should have asked before placing the order .
    
    Suffice to say i have a Magnex cat back system on my car (soon to include a Magnex de-cat) and i love it to bits. In my oppinion it looks right and sounds spot on (not too loud). I think people who have exhausts just for the noise are twats to be honest. At the end of the day though its one of many different exhausts and you will find people on here will love it or hate it for varying reasons. Only you can decide if its right for you, judgement day will be when its fitted to your car.

    Mines a 3.5" tail pipe, you'd need to buy the one for later model Saxo 2001 onwards I think as your cat will be in the manifold.

    Not a big fan of these, but like others say its down to personnal opinion. I just dont like the fact you can see the box hanging down.

    I dont think you'll regret buying a Magnex tbh, but its your choice at the end of the day and if you can live with the looks which I dont think is bad either.

    Like the look of the exhaust tbh, dont want anything too loud thats why i wanted the magnex sytem.

    Yeah I chose Magnex for subtlety, twin exhaust will mean cutting the bumper. The Magnes fits into the original cut out nicely. What make is the twin exit system?

    Custom made are mainly for sound and looks so if you want performance Id go with the Magnex, Ive never been a fan of the twin pipe look on small cars.

    I dont think youll regret getting a Magnex they are loud just not stupidly loud if you know what I mean.

    Just had a magnex fitted on my vts about a month ago and have been well pleased with it, as most people say bit big at back but I like the look of it. and to be honest the sound of this exhaust is what swayed me to buy one.
    Nice sound not to loud until you are kicking it! especially when i do a 40 mile round trip to work each day, the last thing i need is my car sounding like someone playing the tuba in my back seat.
    So what I am saying is good exhaust for the cash and quality speaks for itself, and a good price got full system fitted and supplied for £280.

    Not too loud tbh, but very subtle. Decat it and it will roar higher up the rev range.
    
    People say the saxo one is wank cause it looks like an oil drum lol?

    Iv got a magnex, its pritty silent but rumbles and pops nice, iv still got the cat in mine so thats probably why its so quiet.
