Or if your willing to spend Ã‚£300 get one custom made at powerflow like I did.

Post by: tim145tim on 29 February 2008, 13:26: The MAGNEX one says its made from high quality stainless steel...

The piper one says its just "MILD steel" which is the same material as a normal standard back box (the kind that last 3-4 years)...

BUT
you normally get a lifetime guarentee with most stainlesses...

I imagine theyd sound completely different too (magnex much louder)...

SO no wonder theres a price gap..

if you want a stainless.. get the magnex!

dont belive that...my old lifetime gaurantee scorpion snapped (at 3 years old) and they said all sorts about fitting,catching the exhaust,not looking after it etc and declined a warranty job!!

Post by: tim145tim on 01 March 2008, 11:33: With my powerflow on my alfa, it was a full lifetime guarantee if you took it to a powerflow service centre 3 times (once every 4months) for the first year... and if they saw that you treated it well for that year,,, the warrenty then stood thereafter...

and fairplay... they replaced the Ã‚£370 exhaust when I smashed it on a spped hump without making a fuss too
