   Was wondering if a magnex cat-back is the same diameter as the standard pipe (ie 2")? Or is it a larger bore from the where the pipe connects too the manifold al the way back to the back box.......?

   I would have thought it would be slightly larger than standard, I know the ones for the cliosports are enormous.

   your right about the clio ones! But good performance! Would expect there to be a difference for a saxo too!

   Magnex are 2" pipes. Think the standard system might be smaller than 2" though? May be wrong on that but Magnex is definately 2".

   magnex bore is bigger than the standard bore, which then increases performance:

   I know the standard pipe is 2" diameter so unless the magnex is bigger the full length of the pipe all your gaining by getting a act-back magnex is that its stainless steel?
