   Next year I fancy changing my exhaust. Only so I have a better chance of getting onto more track days.
   
   I've always wondered if a Pugsport centre section will fit onto a Magnex back box since they look very similar.
   This would eliminate the extra join in the middle (where I found mine used to blow) and the huge Magnex middle box wouldn't be there to scrape off the ground.
   
   Seems like a great compromise if it works.

   would it not be easier for you to get a supersprint race tube

   Well no unless I can find the old style Magnex backbox with clamp joint.
   The newer back boxes have a sleeve joint like you get with Pugsport exhausts.
   
   Plus the aim is to make it quiet I reckon if I had a race tube Supersprint with a Magnex it would be louder than what I have.
   Plus I prefer the sleeve joint Magnex's they are easier to fit and blow less.
   
   All I want to know is, if a Sleeve Joint magnex back box will fit the Pugsport centre section.
   
   For those who don't know what I mean:
   
   Old clamp style:
   
   
   Newer sleeve style:

   Cheers Gav!
   Yes pictures would be nice.
   
   I wish I had thought of this earlier since I think it's a setup that could work very well.
   My old Magnex I had was the old clamp style and that's why I hated my Magnex since it always used to blow, when I bought a new Magnex for my mate Jimbo I noticed the design was different.
   
   There's plenty of Magnex back boxes for sale with the sleeve join it's just finding a Pugsport centre on it's own for sale.
