My magnex is in no way quiet. Even idling! And sitting at 70 on the motorway is not pleasant!

westy - raceland 4-2-1, magnex decat, stainless center (unknown make), piper backbox, no pops, raspy as fuke if drop your foot off accelrator at 5k+ revs

My Magnex used to gurgle loads about 3.5k revs IIRC. If not it was 2.5k, but it used to gurgle loads, no pops and bangs though. SuperSprint system with 3" Piper backbox used to pop loads about 4k revs and on the engine run-off but when changing to PH3s and map it didn't pop or bang at all, even after getting bodies mapped onto it. Saying that it might be doing it but might not hear it over the bodies :)

A few pops wouldn't go a miss but i'm getting nothing on this magnex system :(

The Magnex systems are pretty quiet. Mine never made much noise other then the usual exhaust drone/noise lol.

If you want pop try getting a SuperSprint Race centre section and cutting it to fit the sleeved fitment on the Magnex as this would then loose the centre silencer you have on the current Magnex system.

Fitting this centre section to my cousins car as opposed to the standard centre section made a big difference to his VTR. It went from just exhaust noise to popping a fair bit although this was with a 3.5" Piper rear silencer I would imagine it would act in a similar fashion.

ive got a mij custom exhuast but i need the standard 1.1 backbox now, bf was gunna put a furio centre pipe on to keep it decat and told me its still gunna pop and be noisy, im not convinced, anyone confirm?

stokesy 5th August 2010 10:15

is it standard mani nicole?
and it might, but a furio centre section snt going to be great, and a 1.1 backbox gunna lower the odds even more imo. i could be wrong, but i dont think it will with that backbox

nicole_ 5th August 2010 10:18

i thought with a supersprint centre pipe i have slightly more chance lol,
yeh its standard mani and mk1, so decats it.
wanna keep my custom one but i need a hidden backbox :(

stokesy 5th August 2010 10:57

well benjee off here has standard mk1 mani and is borrowing my supersprint centre section and 2" backbox and thats popping a fair bit and a very nice noise..
maybe try something different.. i saw a rally with the exhaust coming out of the rear 1/4 just infront of the wheel.. would be good for your kinda theme as would be different, then you can have whatever backbox..
just an idea

jeffchiz 5th August 2010 11:55

ive got a supersprint center section with standard mani and back box and it does pop from time to time and i have had 2 flames come out over the 6 or so months or owning it but exhaust systems need time to bed in it will probably pop more over time mine has only just started doing it

stokesy 5th August 2010 11:57

shush u, u making me sound wrong lol :P..
i still rekon relocate where the backbox comes out off..
side exit ftw!! will be good on yours or nicoles theme :y:

nicole_ 5th August 2010 11:58

yeh ive considered it before, but with the vtec going in i need a custom exhuast made up, so no point getting one done yet :)

stokesy 5th August 2010 12:00

saw it on a bianca rallye looked awesome!!
and yea nicole look into it when the vtec goes in :y:

nicole_ 5th August 2010 12:03

with such a short exhuast though i can imagine it sounds quite different and would effect performance, i dunno, im abit of a noob :oops: but might just get a custom hidden one done as its more subtle then, and itll have its vtec purrrrr

Steve 5th August 2010 12:07

get an extra 8valves ;)

stokesy 5th August 2010 12:13

nah dont think itll effect it that much.. spesh not if it still a straight through..
just a though, would be good for the euro kinda theme you got going, they tend to go for 'different' lol..

nicole_ 5th August 2010 12:22

shh mines not euro, shes cleaned :p

stokesy 5th August 2010 12:26
