    Pretty self explantatory, getting to the point in the restoration where I'm going to need an actual exhaust fitted so that I can actually leave it running without going deaf.
    Looking at the 2.25" 2 Box system from Trackslag at the moment, but just thought I'd put up a post and see if anyone's got a decent stainless system that they're trying to get rid of. Could do with saving a bit of money if possible!

    If you can find a 2nd hand Magnex I can vouch for those.

    My Magnex full stainless 4 branch manifold and system is still good as new, must be knocking on 20 years since I fitted it!.

    Cheers, might have a look for one. Also looking at the Jetex 16V system. Does anyone have any experience of how they sound? Can't find any decent videos online.

    I can't vote for stainless steel Jetex, but I can give a thumbs up for the mild steel version, it sounded good but was not obtrusive, just a nice deep burble.

    Interesting, thanks. Wasn't aware there was a non-stainless version.

    I had a stainless jetex system and 4 branch on a 1991 8v and that sounded nice not too loud either.

    They may have stopped producing them at this stage and gone with stainless steel only.
