Magnex Exhaust

[MancBen]

So, I've got a Magnex sat in the garage that I've had since the beginning of the year. I've not got round to fitting it yet. It's a non-res cat-back.

I've had Magnex in the past on 205 gti's and a scooby - In all cases, they were decent quality and sound.

Does anyone have first-hand experience of a Magnex on a Mk5 gti ??

I want to liven the dull sounding 2.0T up a bit... but also have 2 little kids, don't want it to drone at motorway speed or sound like tit when not booting it.

So Fit, or Flog ???

Cheers

..........not on a mk5,got a Milltek non res on mine.  In the past they had a reputation for being a bit loud ?.

Ive just took my Magnex off as my wife has been complaining its too loud. Been driving about with the standard exhaust  back on for about a month now and im starting to miss the Magnex sound!

I would stick it on,
I am talking to a guy off e bay who makes the Magnex exhausts. I want a different backbox for my motor, as currently have the unsightly R32 style exhaust and the backbox hangs down miles, Magnex ones look much smarter,
Would you reccomend I get them to stick a resonated centre section on, or would that make it too quiet?

Fancy a deal with my Magnex BIG AL ??

[big al]

Is yours the R32 style one?

I was under the impression Magnex went bust a couple of years ago. Are they back in business again?

[jimmy-s3]

No, mines not the r32 style one, its the slightly oversized standard one!
