   If I were to buy a Magnex back box would it have a different bore size to that of a Full magnex system?
   
   I'm guessing the magnex system would run a larger bore than standard where as the back box is designed to connect to standard centre sections.
   
   If anyone understands that and gives me a decent answer i'll rep your ass!

   no, magnex supply the backboxes with a larger bore pipe (2" i think) they also give you 3 or 4 reducers so that you can connect the new pipe to the original middle section of your car.

   Thats abit weird, what does it sound like? I dread motorways with my current set up so want something more subtle without compromising the power.
   
   I've just found this badboy its abit of a bargain I think:

   yep, that similar to what i have mate. will give you that little extra power and freedom in the exhaust system but i feel you loose a bit at low revs and speed (like there isn't enough back pressure) but it feels better going fast.
   
   mine sounds loud when you put your foot down, not been on the motorway yet with the new set-up, i don't want too lol!! :s
