Hello... I'm thinking of buying a Magnex cat-back system for the ti. Here's a pic:  I think it looks very nice and it's cheaper than supersprint or remus and it's 100% stainless steel. The think is I don't know these exhaust, so I don't know what to expect regarding noise and performance. I already have my ti without CAT. Does anyone here have this exhaust or heard it/seen it? Please give me your opinions ASP. Thank you! regards! __________________ Portuguese 318ti

Can you please post a picture of the rear of your TI's, so I can see how the Magnex fits the car?
I would really apreciate it!

it was coupled with a K&N induction kit. and there were definately gains but not sure whether it was because of the exhaust or the induction kit.
you should gain a couple of HP with any exhaust, though you wont notice any significant surge in power. __________________

I emailed magnex yesterday asking how much it weighs & what performance gains to expect as I'm also looking at buying a cat-back pipe.
Haven't heard back from them yet thou. | | | | | |
