As long as youe got a proper engine with the correct number of cylinders you dont need a chavvy "zaust" winkeye

I think ive got a magnex on mine, bought off here, i love the noise :cool:

Its not that loud, nice bark when i give it some abuse but quietens down to about what the standard exhaust was in normal driving/motorway cruising.... Perfect for me :twisted:


I have had cars with exhausts that are loud all the time and they get boring, eaven embarasing when you have a 3am start... Then, it was a nova GT/E with a full ashley exhaust, manifold and all... What did the neighburs expect from a nova :o:

i have just ordered a scorpion DTM back box for my cab. I found the deeper note it gives at lower revs suits my 325 engine better than current back box makes i much higher pitch noise when at higher revs. Also with an e30 it looks so much better with twin pipes.

Scorpion all the way, I have had both

the magnex is only slightly deeper than stock at tickover and gives a nice sound but the tailpipes are too small IMO

the Scorpion however gives a nice growl which is the main reason IMO for fitting an after market exhaust aside from power
