: Magnex
The cars off to Magnex on saturday morning!
got to get up at 4am :shock:
getting a new hire car, a honda for 2 weeks, and i asked the manager about a sports cat and they are going to look into it as i said there was loads of interest!
i get to choose the tailpipes aswell! hmmm decisions, decisions!
phil
The magnex system is similar to the one ive had put in though mine runs from the centre box to the back.

andy bassett 09-03-2006, 16:32:19 phil take some pics of the tail pipes wen your there, then we can have a poll to wat may look the best :D

Yeah will do!
He basically said on monday they will decide whether they will put on a cat back or turbo back system. I said there is loads of interest in a sports cat, he said they might do a 100 cell one then as the 80 cell tends to bring up engine faults, mind you mine does anyway!
craigyR27 09-03-2006, 18:26:16 sounds good mate should get a nice sound from them :D

6 x 4 is to big mate, will look over powering from the rear.
5 x 3 yes.
or wat do look nice are 4" outward rolled round tails.
or a 4" slash cut that migh look good.
andy bassett 09-03-2006, 21:48:32 found the ones to have
phil on here
http://www.magnexexhausts.com/
the tail pipe that is in the pic under universal silencers mate, that would look **** hot 2 of them

Cool like i say he has never seen one so will probably realise when he sees it, i'll let him know i want 5 x 3 then or round ones
not really bothered i just want the extra performance and sound!
Cant believe you found it hard! i think the back end of mine is now superb!
Ill measure my tips up tomorrow when i get the car back..
andy bassett 09-03-2006, 21:59:14 with cup suspension its great, cut a limb of it and its gets abit to harsh a ride if you get wat i mean,

andy bassett 09-03-2006, 22:35:06 that is bloody low tho :roll:
I looked in the gallery again at yours, i think the back ends are similar,not sure about the front though
andy bassett 09-03-2006, 22:43:18 this might be a slightly better one to look at.
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b325/andybassett/DSCF1027.jpg
andy bassett 09-03-2006, 22:47:20 ok draw,

andy bassett 10-03-2006, 19:06:16 andy do you mean this shape rear tailpipes
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b264/craigy225/tailpipe.jpg
these look nice phil :D
there the buggers
well done craig
craigyR27 10-03-2006, 19:21:18 still had the pic on me comp glad i could help
yes would look good, when at magnex get them to do a trial fit of all the pipes then you can decide what you want maybe two twins :D be different phil :wink:
Jacob 10-03-2006, 19:23:10 would look mint if they can do that,
Bubbles 10-03-2006, 19:38:46 The only reason i dont rate Magnex so much is cause it seems to be an 'off the shelf' exhaust.. everyone has one, they dont seem to fit very well... and hmmm
i hope you get on ok with it
i like the idea of a std zorst tbh
my last experience of a custom zorst was for my Civic type-r..... had a totally bespoke stainless-steel Powerflo cat-back system, built to the car (watched whilst they made it)
sounded lurrrvly. deep, bassy and with a pop and burble thrown in.
drove it the 100 miles home and at both 70 and 40 mph it resonated with the car...made my whole body shake. Felt sick the whole time.
It lasted 99 miles....stopped at quick fit and the old 1 went back on!!!!!!
oops.
so a nice proven, std system sounds like a plan !
tbh a new back-box and outlet-pipes would be enuf for me. Std at up to 4k then a bit beefier. I would just want the popping/burbling sound a la rally car tbh.
the Focus ST has it, so why wont my 225
/me cwies
The only reason i dont rate Magnex so much is cause it seems to be an 'off the shelf' exhaust.. everyone has one, they dont seem to fit very well... and hmmm
i hope you get on ok with it
Well it maybe off the shelf in a few years time, but they are custom designing it over two weeks and i have the option of what pipes i want
etc
Lets be honest its not gonna be a crap Peco jobby, or as good as an H&R system(not that i've seen one)
but its free and i'll put the old one back on if its pants! :D
andy bassett 10-03-2006, 21:06:20 nout wrong with peco, i had one on my 78 morris marina
nout wrong with peco, i had one on my 78 morris marina
