   Got a 4-2-1 to go on. And magnex will decat my car.
   
   Not a fan of the look that much. Well down to the backbox showing quite alot. But amount of people who have recommended them no other comes close really for performance n that. Unless i get the omp.

   Piper and Scorpion seem to be rated about the same as a Magnex. Piper is louder and Scorpion seem to be quiet like a Magnex, except they don't have the big backbox showing.

    I have got a magnex on mine! I haven't got a picture sorry, but im pleased with it! Not too loud on tickover, its a bit louder when you put your'e foot down but thats mostly because of the open filter!

    Alot of exhaust selection is really in the look of the tailpipe I reckon as its hard to tell unless you can see the exhaust on a simailar car to yours.
    
    Most of the four leading brands Magnex, Janspeed, Scorpion and piper will pretty much perform almost the same (give or take a pony or two) but just with a slightly different note or volume.
    
    Quiet to Loud I reckon they come in this order
    
    1, Magnex/Janspeed
    3, Scorpion
    4, Piper
    
    (with 3 & 4 alot depends on tailpipe selection)
