   For a vtr...Magnex cat back or piper?
   I like the look of both exhausts, both are good quality.
   I like how quiet the magnex is but very bassy when reved.
   Piper is a bit loud like my scorpion on my clio, so i dont know if i should stick with the loud allll the time with the piper or quiet magnex?
   Opinions?

   is the piper system WAY louder than the magnex when driving normally??
   Also, what is the best open cone filter on the market? I know enclosed is better etc... but i love induction noise.

   piper is a bit louder than the magnex, open cone filter would have to be green.

    all depends what you want from an exhaust system??
    
    tbh loud exhausts might sound good but they will annoy you on long journeys and neighbours will become annoyed too, safe bet is to go for the Magnex

    demon tweaks list the magnex cat back system for 285 quid, is that right? normally retails for over 300 notes??

    ditch the magnex, ive had one and wasnt impressed at all, piper is a much better exhaust in terms of looks and sound. if ya dont boot it then its quiet but when ya get into high revs they make a very good noise! im sticking with piper and going to put it on my vts when i get one

    Oh mate no contest on this, Magnex wins hands down. Far better quality, looks, sounds and performance from Magnex without a doubt. They are pretty well priced as well. I looked at getting Piper but there too much like a bean can to me. Oh and Green filters are the lick!!
