Anyone got a 3.5" magnex on a 1.4? Wondering what performance increase is, not in bhp its only a 1.4 obviously but in response etc, and economy and most importantly sound! Do they sound gay on the motorway and are they insanely 'look at my car' loud? Cheers

ive got the magnex backbox on mine - it hums on the motorway and you hardly notice it.
hit 5.5k revs in 2nd and it roars.
ive got a 1.6 vtr though.
nice and smooth through the rev range.

Couldnt hear mine at all when I put it on my VTR...Got my manifold on though/decat and that did the job :)
I'm pretty sure you can get a single box system and a double box system! Mine had two boxes but a mates only has the one and was substantially louder than mine! Need a little time to wear themselves in, mines sounding very nice now though :)
i cant here mine at all really and i got one on my 1.4 furio, its more of a stlying exhaust rather than performance or loudness, its just a low hummmmmm really

Magnex more for styling? Just because it doesnt roar? Magnex are one of the better ones for performance
