172 Phase 2 - Advice required...

[haribo8]

I'm thinking of getting an exhaust for my 172 (2002) and i'm stuck on whether to get a single 4" halfd cut into the bumper or a twin 3.5"?

what do you guys reckons looks better?

Personal choice mate !

Stealth is the way forward.

would a twin exit make a difference in performance over a single, or doesn't it matter?

 

[haribo8]

how about exit pipes below the side skirts before the rear wheels?? is this illegal?? seens ome cars with this done, mostly american car though??!!

keep it to the rear of the car, there is no performance difference between single and twin exit :

nice - what exhaust is that? whats it like "noise" wise?

magnex 3.5" x 2 cat back, quite boomy when idling, nice and ample tone when driving around, booting it, not OTT.

is it loud on the motorway around 70/80?

How about one like mine. Dual 3.5'' (I think) cut into the bumper. Full custom job with Cobra back box. It was on the car when I bought it but looks factory. Sits perfectly and even the tail pipe angles follw the slope of the rear bumper. Shame I can't get it to sit straight though since I took it off doh.
Sorry about the top 3 pics, just taken them now. The bottom 2 are a few weeks old before the Turinis were fitted. The exhaust looked a little worse then I think.

unfortunately yes, but this is the case with almost all aftermarket exhaust systems (from my experience anyway), but the magnex seems to be one of the quieter ones, at 90/!00 its virtually silent, just drive faster

Thats exactly the same as mine. Between 70 and 85 it is almost unbearably loud. Not so much exhausty, more a resonance. But above and below these speeds it's silent. Worth it though. It sounds like a WRC Impreza when booting it.:approve:
