   Hi,
   
   Tryed everything to fit my Magnex exhaust to my standard furio.
   
   Reducer that came on the Magnex backbox (was taking off of a vtr) was to big to fit in my standard pipe.
   
   and ive tryed clamping the pipe from the Magnex directly on to my standard pipe, (but the gap is physically too big)
   
   So i then tryed packing it out with putty, and then clamp still no luck.
   
   Please someone help me, as my car sounds like a bag of **** at the moment and am meant to be heading up north early next week.
   
   Rep will be given

   You need the magnex centre section, even on a vts if you want it to fit properlt and sound good. IMO those reducers are crap.

   Im gonna get a centre section soon. But because i was a twat i jumped straight under the car when i got it and cut the standard pipe plus backbox off. So now i have a backbox thats clamped on to my standard pipe a little bit (but sounds like a bag o shit).
   
   Just wanted to know whether there is any way to either get this clamped down, (which i dont think is possible cause the standard pipe is alot smaller). Or whether there is anything else i could do ASAP?
