   Which one of these would you go for? Both from the same seller, but from readin them both it sounds like the seller promotes the sound of the remus one over the magnex? Also the remus doesnt have a centre siliencer like the magnex so this would be louder right?
   
   See what you think any help would be much appreciated.....

   See thats what makes it soo hard some people say this and some people say that about the same system grrrrr lol
   
   From the pics it deffs looks like the remus would be louder as it has no centre silencer!?

   its basically the same as a magnex, but i found that a magnex is louder on tickover than a remus! I'm gonna take off my centre silencer just to give it that bit more noise!

   I am leaning towards magnex as soo many people have them and i realy dont want that cahvvy boy racer sound! I want more of a raspy and not too loud sound!
   
   Maybe the magnex is louder on tick over because it has a smaller back box? The remus you heard was it a full system or just a backbox? Did it have a center silencer?

    Right just emailed the seller and got a couple of reply's they said the magnex is quite quiet but does get a bit noisy when you open it up?
    
    But they also said the remus should be louder?
    
    What you think?

    if it was me i'd get a Magnex personally and that is a very good price too for a cat back system, there normally like £290!
