   Right im currently running 708's, 40mm jenveys, big valve head, raceland.... But have a gayflow 2 1/4 full system.
   
   Just wondering if it would make a difference gettin a magnex as i know it sound better, but will the bore be big enough to acheive full power? Did people find good results with these? If i got one should i get the silencer taken out?
   
   Cheers

   could go custom mate with the sort of power you will be achieving, custom could be a better way to go?
   
   or seek a BTB exhaust?

   2 and 1/4 is just about right size for your set-up.
   
   Is it a straight through with no silencers or cats?
   Personally if it is, id keep the piping and get a Different back box.
   
   Magnex isn't amazing performance wise, id go for an OMP backbox or similiar

   Well funds are low and if have heard good things about them, but i dnt know what power figures people have made with them. No the 2 1/4 has silencers in it but it is still way 2 loud. Magnexs do sound nice and a btb is way too much at the moment.

   PM me.. I'll do you a very good deal on a Supersprint race system.. 50mm bore which is plenty. The noise isn't intrusive just sounds very sporty.

   I'm all metric now!
   
   The supersprint that I sell is a race system so I guess most people don't get them to fit. I'm getting a 106 Van soon (can't find a saxo van) and its what I will be fitting to that.

    get in touch with abp motorsport mate, they do a single box magnex designed system. its class. i love mine think mine was 289squid
    
    the normal magnex systems are twin box, this abp one also sits high up under the car and wont catch when the cars lowered, my vtr was down 60mm and the vts is down 50mm, they never once caurght or scrapped on anything
    sound really nice too

    Has anyone got any videos of our ABP/Magnex system revving? I would do
    one of mine, but i dont have any leads to upload it onto this.
    
    They do sound good in the higher rev range!
