   been offered a magnex straight through system including decat for my powerflow straight through system including decat ...
   
   interested in which will i gain more performance from? (im assuming the magnex)
   
   however the magnex is 5 years old and my powerflow is only 1 year old (and is in really good condition and is made well, un-like the usual powerflow crap)
   
   im tempted to do it
   
   opinions ?
