Woohoo - Exhaust is sorted!

I'm a happy bunny again!

I purchased a magnex system off of a zoner a while ago and only got it fitted last week, When I picked the car up I was told "It's a little rattly Dave"

I was a little upset as you can imagine. The centre box sounded like it was full nuts and bolts, The most horrific rattling sound you have ever heard (Well apart from an M40 cam :wink: )

Took it to my mates place today and we removed the centre box and replaced with straight pipes. The result is great, A lovely smooth note from low down then at full chat it sounds quite crisp when combined with the BMC filter.

All of this due to the shocking powerflow system that was on there when I bought the car :roll:

Well I have done a couple of videos. The in-car one sounds really quiet and the stationary revving sounds really raspy. Not a particually accurate clip tbh :(

Chris, You have heard it in the flesh and it doesn't sound that rattly? Bloody camera is picking up all the noises I didn't want and none of the ones I did :cry:

The old system was well and truely past its best mate.

The centre box had taken some speedbump attacks and the joints were starting to crack.

This is also a twin pipe system as opposed to the powerflow single pipe from the downpipe back.

Cheers

Thanks lads, I'm very happy with it. I can creep around if need be but has a nice bark when giving it beans.

My powerflow system was made of a load of scrap pipes by the looks of it, It was generally crap. Could well have just been the franchise the previous owner had it made at.

Try to look at a few systems they have made to gauge the quality of the branch you will use. 8)
