   Hi,
   
   What kind of sound does a Magnex cat-back system give on VTR? He said it is quiet until past 4000RPM?

   Had the exhaust up on the ramp and found out that the magnex system only reaches to the middle of the standard silencer?

   Got a full decat system on a VTS and its pretty deep and quiet below 3k, annoyingly louder at cruising speed around 4k but sounds pretty nice from 4.5 upwards.

   Ive got a cat-back and its only quiet when driving around normally..floor it and it makes a nice, deep growl that turns into a rasp towards 5k revs

   Ok, after the silencer did you get another pipe with it to conect to the downpipe?

    If you're leaving the CAT in, my advice is go for the ABP centre section which doesn't have the middle silencer.
