24th June 2007, 20:51

video?

25th June 2007, 08:28

The Magnex will sit like this

and will generaly be slightly louder than the factory system through out the rev range, If I was to go for a Magnex system Id want to go for a single box setup ie remove the centre box to give a better note, but Im not a Magnex fan so . . .

Check out www.youtube.com and put in 'Saxo Magnex' Im sure your bound to get a few vids come back as I think Magnex must be one of the most popular exhaust in the Saxo world today

Your the 4th person I have heard this happen to including me...

Not good really.

Sound sweet when there not broken though. Nice and quite when driving normal, sporty when driven enthusiasticly.

ive got a magnex cat back system but i cant tell the difference. in need of a de-cat i reckon

27th June 2007, 10:45

If you are looking for a quite system Id always point people in the direction of Janspeed over Magnex just because the Magnex box looks poor.

If you have your heart set on the Magnex then Id go for just a Magnex back box and a Remus or SuperSprint straight through centre section to improve both performance and exhaust note, decatting is another option but you will have to reinstall the cat for the MoT.

www.abpmotorsport.co.uk do a Single box Magnex system check on their website for correct prices

27th June 2007, 11:50

i had the abp unsilenced magnex(only backbox) for a while got ridin the end as the car didnt feel right, torque seemed down.

eventually got a proper one with the silencer and its much better, feels more eager to move and the tone is a lot better not too raspy and tinny like it did befor

not too loud on tickover but its very meaty when giving it the beans. but i also have a raceland manifold too

27th June 2007, 12:03

Like I said its always to recommend exhaust and airfilters etc as different people have had different results with different items.

I strongly recommend getting what you like the look of that way your be happy with it from the strat and any performance gains will simply be an added bonus

27th June 2007, 12:17

my mates magnex system on his 106 rallye sounds fantastic!!!!!

27th June 2007, 12:39

They do sound very very good IMO.

Anyone have trouble with the centre section knocking on the heat shield?

27th June 2007, 12:54

indeed i am! and its not even my car ive been driving

27th June 2007, 19:50

Full System (standard manifold)

27th June 2007, 19:54

Some videos of mine, gmc manifold, cat magnex centre + backbox

got de-cat pipe to fit, mine has popped a few times just with that set up, not too loud either but sounds good when open her up.

didnt notice a difference performance wise when fitted, been advised only get its full potential if de-cat it!

And on the last three videos thats from when i had not properly fitted it, it was sliding off as i bust the thread on the clamp

27th June 2007, 19:59

i d say you ve made a good choice mate!

had my magnex system on the car for bout two years now,never had any problems wi it,not too loud when your drivin normally but give it some stick and it sounds nice!!!

notice much difference with or without the de-cat pipe?

27th June 2007, 20:12

ye i thought it made a fair difference although i did stick a enclosed cotton green filter on at the same time,am hopin once i get the manifold on too it ll be even quicker off the mark again.

27th June 2007, 20:21

Magnex FTW

27th June 2007, 22:00

27th June 2007, 22:11

I just got mine fitted today! Its pretty quiet with the standard middle section with the silencer. Got abit louder as the day went on. Sounds quiet then gives a roar over 3000. Perfect!

27th June 2007, 22:11

devil decat?

27th June 2007, 23:19

Piper or supersprint any better?

Gettin a new zorst v.soon and decided to redo the whole system but keep the same style backbox as its different, i like it and it fits the rear bumper well

27th June 2007, 23:20

Looking for a good centre and rear sections and a decent downpipe

Hopefully go for a larger bore but not sure if it really makes any difference after the manifold and downpipe does it?

28th June 2007, 08:13

they sound crap

28th June 2007, 08:30

I like a exhaust to be noisey, thats just the way I like it thats one of the main reasons I got rid of my Janspeed cat back system as it was just too quiet (for my liking).

But the main problem with the Magnex in my eyes anyway is just the look of it, box is to big, pipe sticks out to far and generally the way it hangs too.

But thats ok cos I like different things to other people.

good point....the size of the backbox looks bad

28th June 2007, 08:59

Each to their own as most people with a Magnex exhaust would run a mile from a GroupN style exhaust like mine

But thats what makes Saxp such a great place as there are so many likes and dislikes yet everybody still gets on, Ive been on some sites where if you have got the best of the best on the best model then your pushed out and made to be unwelcome, not here

Just my personal tastes, I dont like Magnex

28th June 2007, 11:35

fit the magnex correctly and there is no problem with how they hang. Back box is big cant deny that. Magnex was great for motorway crusing as it wasnt to loud but sounded nice when giving it soem beans.

Still prefered my magnex to the piper system I had on the vts but would still buy either again.

28th June 2007, 14:06

box is fine on mine, omp = peashooter

Yup, mine hangs abit low atm i think but i still love it! Perfect combination of sound and style

28th June 2007, 23:57

ok great! are these easy too fit as i have the whole system what does it go 2 the downpipe or the cat? do i not need 2 replace anyother parts etc also is it 3.5" and its all 1 size?

29th June 2007, 13:06

Just finished fitting mine the main problem was the join between the back of the cat and the start of the midbox.... had to get a special clamp for it and some shit look alike exhaust putty.... got it on exhaust is well quiet but sounds quite nice when floored... no moe rattles n that took a couple hours in total coz i'm slow and didn't have the right bits first time around...

pleased with end result sounds good now

29th June 2007, 13:22

Magnex sound like this..
