   right ive got 2 back boxes for my mk2 vtr one being the 3" sportex the other the 3.5 magnex, wich would suit the car best as i know the sportex is very loud but the magnex is raspy when you want it to be, on temp until i get my piper system, any advice welcome guys

   personally, magnex, I am going to say it will be a much better exhaust but haven't owned either of them. Just going by the rep magnex have.

   Depends how loud you want your car mate.
   Sportex- loud
   Magnex- Not so loud
   All personal choice, I would probably pop the magnex on if it was me

   Magnex would be better made. I've got a sportex on mine atm just the back box and its so loud sounds so nice when opening up but crusing at 70mph is a tad too loud for me.

   Sportex is quite chavvy, its cheap which is why people buy it, magnex is top quality.
