ive got a standard exhaust/manifold with a stainless decat.

im looking at getting a magnex backbox.

should i get a stainless catback, or will a backbox only suffice?

also, is an uprated manifold worth the expense?

A cat back will be much better than just a backbox, the std centre sections are really weedy

Definately get a cat back system and not a backbox, as said the centre sections are poor, and in my opinion the manifolds are woth the expense as it frees up gas flow early on.

magnex dont manufacture centre sections no more for williams (according to salesman).

scorpion imola 3.5" is the best solution. 247 inc vat (catback).

good price ?

16v and williams centre sections and backbox's are the same, its the front cat flange that is at 90 degrees to the other.

Magnex is the better option, i can't stand the scorpian

shame its mild steel and has a 1.2 style connection to the backbox, which 16v and williams ones won't

Williams magnex centre pipe WAS different. Had extra hanger underneath rear seats.

whats wrong with the scorpion ?

i was told get magnex or scorpion. magnex seems to be the preferred option, but not worth while if ive got a standard centre section.

ive looked at the one on ebay, (magnex) and im tempted, but the magnex website has a different code for 16v and williams, therefore i presume that it wont fit without a bit of jiggery pokery.

i want something that fits without having to have a mare.

magnex will give u a nice deep sporty sound...

scorpian will give u a more "raspy" kind of sound when u rev it, which i have and prefere as you don't piss neighbours off and get the droning on the motorway.

only bad thing about the scorpian backbox is its a bitch to get right, will rattle without a lot of fiddling.

agreed

custom all the way.

im pleased with my devil but it rattles slightly. i want a side exit next time!

magnex backboxes are apparently too small, hence the droaning sound. its not as free flowing as some others!

Indeed they do. Some willy's dont even have the mount for this extra bracket iirc.
