Thread moved.
Magnex exhausts are pretty well rated, though Scorpion and Jetex are often considered to be the best. I've got a Longlife which I really like

well from what your asking for above , id say a scorpion cat back would suite you nicly, peugeot also offered it as an optional extra, so is OEM ish aswell, not to load but when it warms up give a lovely note

Another +1 for longlife. Mine is a bit too loud but the actual noise it makes is great! Pricewise, quite expensive but worth it seeing as you get a true lifetime warranty which is transferable and modifications are cheap. For example i had a new tip fitted to mine for £30.

Mongoose on mine, sounds awesome but it is pretty loud...Matt's old Magnex was much more raspy than mine and the Mongoose is much deeper. I'm happy with it

They can be expensive (depends how much you want to barter with the guy in the shop) but worth every penny and they sell silencers from standard upto just a straight pipe through a box (like mine lol)

for a entire system from the manifold back including a sports cat, i paid £430. Sounds pricy but when you add up the price of a new sportex for example and a hoffman sports cat, its really not that bad and obviously you choose how loud it is and what it looks like. For a cat back system, id expect no more than £300

For the price of the above, if you put it on and it was to loud you could take it to long life have a quiter back box put on and it would still be cheaper than a new (inc cost of buying it)
but still scorpion FTW
