Get Magnex ... cant' fault em.

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

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!!
