Question re Williams Magnex exhaust

[106diablogti]

er slight **** up can you send that back its my decat spacer check pm

Yeah sure buddy

I have just fitted the cat back on and its so much nicer. I don't think this magnex decat pipe is for a williams? I compared the bolt holes on the straight thru decat and the magnex one was to close together?? The part number on it says its for a Williams so Im really confused.

As for the exhaust resting on the axle I have worked that out, I didn't push the exhaust far enough in to the sleeve joint so the arch over the axle is too far back, will sort it out next weekend but have used cable ties temporarily.

Quote from me PM...

Hi mate, yes im assuming that is the same williams de-cat as i had due to the stupid arrangment at the downpipe... lol

Basically i had two problems with mine:

1. The PCD on the mounting holes did not match so i had to file the downpipe holes into some slots to get the studs in, bit annoying!

2. Yes the gasket arrangment is gash, basically just bin the gause gasket as i have only ever found them on peugeots! What magnex recommend is you go and buy some RTV silcon gasket compound and just put loads of this arround the lip on the downpipe and bolt the de-cat hard up to it; it should create a gasket between the downpipe lip and the cone end.

Stuff i got was from halfords, orange compound for turbo manifolds etc..

Hope that helps... P.S You best buy some ear plugs ;)

Cheers,
Bri.

Also i found mine was way FOOKING loud with the de-cat on... and yes incase your wondering as magnex goes it is the "correct item" for the williams it was just designed on a friday on the back of a fag packet! lol

I certainly prefer the sound of my magnex after I put the cat back on yesterday. I think it was different on my hybrid, still quite loud, but more raspy.

Probably due to the supersprint.

I'm wacking the cat on it soon as i can't really stand the noise anymore either...

Lol...good choice. May go for a silenced de-cat at some point, but theres not enough gains to put up with the noise..

"cant stand the noise"

You must be bloody barmy!! Nothing like the sound of an exhaust full of sexed up noise. I loved my last one so muh i never ever put a music player in my last car in all the time i had it!!

Ya cant beat it!!
