Title: Jetex exhaust cat back or magnex cat back??
Post by: GOLF-MK3-GTI on 15 September 2012, 19:17

Hi

I am wanting to change the exhaust for my mk3 gti,

But I can't make my mind up wether to buy a magnex exhaust system or jetex?, or is there any other exhaust that is better than the above?,

I am not bothered about the price, but I do want it to be brand new...
Also does a stainless steel manifold make a difference or should I just stick with the stock exhaust manifold?

I want it to have a twin exit inthe back, also don't want it really loud like chavvy, just a nice burble tone
Any ideas, greatly appreciated,

Don't bother with stainles manifold, waste of money.

Jetex is very high quality stuff, but I've also heard god things about magnex.

I would go Jetex, but get non-res, otherwise it is just as quiet as stock.

Both jetex and magnex are quality products also have a look at scorpion, i have a scorpion cat back system on mine and its good quality and gives a nice deep rumble without sounding silly.

I had a res jatex on vr6 and it was quite untill you booted it so had a stainless straight through made for it.

I also got a magnex backbox and straight through on my gti and a decat.


Has to be said on idle the gti sounds much nicer, buts that's down to the lumpy idle due to the cam.

I prefer the quality of the magnex.


I love addidas trainers my mate loves vans.
It's up to you.

Only get a miltek if you have a vr6 otherwise not worth the extra cash.

You won't get any more bhp they just sound the best on the vr6

used to have a Magnex on my 8v engine and loved it

very high quality

unfortunatly the bore is not big enough for Turbo use so i had to switch to Jetex which i bought brand new

Again high quality, id say very close to magnex apart from tailpipes not quite as well finished on as the Magnex unless like me you get the polisher machine out  :nerd:
