Scorpion or Magnex?

[Rodderz]

I have both a Scorpion and Magnex exhaust but dont know which to fit to my convertible?

[Litespeed]

which do YOU prefer and which designs are they? if the magnex is an oval one, bin it before the style police come get you

[Rodderz]

Sorry they are both LeMans style its more a question of the noise levels!

[StuBeeDoo]

Fit the Magnex and sell me the Scorpion!

i would have scorpion every time, my 316i had one and it sounded awsome so did our old cabby, 320i with full scorpion exhaust

there quite loud mind you but loud in a good way

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

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

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


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

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

Oh dear.... Scorpion
I wouldnt pay £50 for one, and Im very happy for that!
