Stubby 0 Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Hi all, this is my first post so i thought i'd start with a question (cheeky i know ) I have just bought a '96 VR6 Automatic, which is a big increase from my 1.4 Escort 8).I am torn between a full stainless magnex system or just the back box?? A 3" Twin round box is £160 and the bloke said he do me a full system for £279.What would you guys recommened? Is there likely to be more probs with one or the other?Thanks in Advance Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 full system mate if you plan to mod it anymore then that would be the way forward. CAT-BACK in my opinion is your best bet! Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 thats not a bad price for a full stainless system either Link to post Share on other sites
Stubby 0 Posted November 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Thx for the info guys its much appreciated . Think i will go with the full system then, but make sure the back box has a CAT (Am i reading that right or does it come with a CAT as standard), sorry new to this . Btw pete where did you get those Lamp conversions on your motor they look sweet i want em too, mines the same colour as urs. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 no it doesnt come with a cat... you keep your existing cat (which is the first section of the exhaust after the downpipe at the front of the car and they fit a new system to it (hence the term cat-back) you can replace the cat with a straight through pipe which might give you a few more bhp but it makes it a lot louder and the cat is an mot requirement Link to post Share on other sites
