   I think the tailpipe is a slightly different style and the it's made of stainless steel whereas the magum and race boxes are made from aluminised steel.

   As far as I know the two different materials do produce different exhaust notes. Depending on what your idea of nicer is, depends on which you prefer.
   
   I think mild steel is slightly more raspy, with the stainless being deeper/more boomy.
   
   Based on two identical systems in separate materials.

    The ss backbox is not 2". It's a 90x85mm oval. Closer to 4 inches than 2.
    
    Edit: At £230ish quid for a backbox it is in the upper price range for backboxes. Considering you can get the full race system for 200.
