Whats the difference between say a magnex, piper and a universal?

Quality of welds/thickness of stainless? The brand name associated with each one ? I've never looked into it, but would confidently assume there isn't much of a noticable difference . . . .aprt from price.

going to say, i can get a brand new magnex for £65 from larkspeed or a piper for £46 but i shouldnt imagine the quality of a piper wont be that much worse than a magnex?

The only issue i can imagine is about the fit between a magnex center pipe and the piper decat

If anything, the Magnex ones will gradually get harder to find since they went under. :wacko:

thts a decat pipe worded differently, get the magnex decat or piper as they are both good quality and shud fit fine. i have a scorpion on my magnex system and it fits fine.

Price is the only difference, quality is very similar on each item.
