Neil-Serenade Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Hi all, would like to know peoples advice on the following. The middle box on my car is starting to rattle so I thought I would see if anyone was selling a stainless steel one. Come across this one which was described as good as new and only covering 3-4k but am not sure if it is stainless steel. The tailpipe looks it but after that it just looks like a coated metal which I have seen before and was told it was coated stainless steel. On the first picture on the edge near the mounting rubber there appears to be a split so I thought if it was stainless steel that wouldn't happen and also the pipes would be, not just standard looking. I have attached some pictures so you can see, thanks. PS If anyone does have a full stainless steel exhaust for sale let me know, thanks.http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h437/Neil-Rogers/image-1_zps05699486.jpeghttp://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h437/Neil-Rogers/image-2_zpsf7b78f03.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottybo Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I thought the magnex was too quiet i have a scorpion with no centre box,(bit loud) but i love my piper system. magnex is extremely quiet, if fitted to a 1.6 it makes no more noise than the standard system i know this because ive tried a scoorpion, a magnex and a mongoose on my escort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-Serenade Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Cheers for all the replies guys, really appreciate it. My first thought when I seen the pictures was that it wasn't stainless steel because of the shiny tailpipe and not so shiny back box. Like I said I was too it was coated stainless steel but the pipes would be as well. Was told it cost £354/£390 new (I know, two different amounts for some reason) the had it advertised for £95, got them down to £65 but I had doubts so glad I didn't bother. I would like it to sound more throaty but are there any pitfalls of buying a used exhaust as I can't afford a brand new one and would I be right in saying that the Scorpion with no centre box would be ideal for cars which are lowered because mine is and the middle scrapes on speed bumps and now and again where are dips in roads and I think that's what has caused it to start rattling. Cheers again people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongo Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 The scorpion on mine with no centre box and decat is LOUD bit too loud 99% of the time,piper is perfect though,uou can tell the magnex is quiet because of the super huge rear silencer.

Saying that, you dont want it booming loud if the cars pretty standard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 stainless is stainless....so it wont rust, buying a second hand stainless exhaust is fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-Serenade Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Cheers again guys for all your input. I quite like the idea of the Scorpion and not having the centre box. How much would a brand new one be andhow much for a used one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Brand new ones pointless dude. Theyre stainless so they last forever! Second hand cat back will set u back bout 80-100 quid. I gave my scorpion system n my protech to supersport for his mk5 n it snds fcukin sweet. Nxt time I see him ill try n get a video of it for u!
