   Hi,
   
   Is there a big difference in loudness between the Magnex silenced centre section and the ABP jobbie? Anyone have any videos to show a comparison?
   
   Cheers

   Cheers for the link - sounds a little loud for my liking. I'll be blasting up and down the A1 to uni over the next couple of years and don't want the noise to send me mad, hehe. Even though i'll be keeping the standard manifold with the CAT, I can see it being too loud.
   
   Your car sounds mint Steve! I've got the backbox and de-cat pipe but it's proving a right pain finding the silenced centre section. I wanna try and keep it Magnex front to back to minismise any fitting problems and cutting etc.

   Try calling magnex and see if they'll do you the centre section on it's own?
