Magnex!

Although I have power flow turbo back I think the 6's suit the magnex better

Let me know once you've decided as I may be interested .

Where abouts are you?

im in redditch mate near birmingham i still have origional sale reciept for magnex aswell

[samass]

magnex. ive heard some bad things about some powerflows, tho that may be localised bad workmanship

[spike2002]

The powerflow one is built well i think its goint to be a case of fit the powerflow wen the engine is back in and have a drive and see what i prefer

[Ed Doe]

Magnex systems are very loud... they make quite a boomy noise too, most on the '6 forum rant about them being a bit chavvy...

But I reckon by comparison to the powerflow straight through It'll be quieter

Dunno on build quality really, can't comment on the powerflow, but magnex seem to be ok...

[spike2002]

the magnex isnt to loud as it has the mid box it does sound quite nice but the powerflow on the 1.6 is epic it pops and bangs a good un

Powerflow isn't strictly stainless steel. It's only mild steel so will rust despite what they say. This is the main reason why I went for long life over power flow.

Depending on the company who built it (there are stories of people having shocking built systems), Powerflow systems can fit so much better than a off the shelf system.

My powerflow is stainless steel has been on the car since 2007 and no rust on it what so ever ;/ i think im going to stay with the magnex as i realy carnt be botherd to swap them over
