   i was previously on the look out for a magnex centre pipe to go with my magnex backbox as its fairly quiet but noticeable. The backbox alone sounds alright but i want it just a tiny bit louder, but not really loud. Can anyone recommend a centre pipe that would do the job? Dont wanna spend loads either. Cheers

   I would also like to know I have this backbox and want to order a centre pipe for it but keep the cat for MOT time!

   Yea i will do but. Its not getting delivered till next week so prob wont be fitted till like a week on friday but ill get it up. What the Magnex alone sound like? I bought the back box as thats all i was gonna have on then i realised my backbox pipe is welded to the centre.... dont ask!
   Was the Magnex nice and quiet unless pushed. Cos i really really dont want a loud exhaust

   ive got a supersprint center pipe (no silencer) with my magnex backbox, does sound louder with the supersprint.
   
   you need to cut the center pipe down to get correct fitment,

   Can you fit a diesel centre pipe from 106 (no cat) or would the bore size be rubbish/too small to mate with the magnex?
   
   Just a thought

    iirc the bore of the magnex pipe is 2.5" and a standard VTR is 2" so im guessing the 106 Diesel is around the same. and would require a reducer or a bit of fabrication.
