magnex exhaust for a mk3 20vt conversion
« on: 27 May 2012, 20:52 »
thinking of changing my jetex to a magnex but I've heard from a couple places that the magnex is only 2 inch where the jetex is 2.5 inch. is this too small for a 20vt stage 1?

cheers :)
20vt conversion, sig pic coming soon!

i had to get rid of my beloved magnex for this reason. and get a Jetex

TBH, the Jetex is as good in terms of build quality so i don't understand why u would want to waste money ? unless your after a different tailpipe design

had enough of f**king about with this jetex tbh  :grin: the previous owner has cut off the centre hanger and welded on some bodge replacement so I think no matter how much I try its never going to hang properly :( I have the tailpipes centered and level but this means because of the centre hanger a part of the pipe touches the underside of the car, which causes loud and very annoying vibrations

Going for magnex mainly because I can get one cheap , and I cant find any second hand Jetex systems :( Its a problem I want to fix but not one I want to spend £300-£400 fixing :P

forgot to say, that is if they come in bigger than 2 inch, if not I guess I'm stuck :( quite fancy trying something other than jetex but want to keep it relatively quiet

They were 200 quid and they don't make them anymore,  :sad: they said they are waiting for suppliers to give them more apparently.
