172 Backbox - opinions please

[Rob Clark]

A few months back ,my oem backbox fell off and I fitted a Magnex 6x4 Oval to it courtesy of Gray for not much.
Bar the physical look of it compared to the oem stealth i was coming to live with it - untill i drove t the motor show this week.
2 Hours burbling down the M1 was enuf for the earlobes of me and the wife.
Trouble is, im only aware of the likes of Yozza and Ktec doing full cat back systems and tbh im only interested in a backbox as my cntre section is fine.
Really dont see the point of an oem one so looking at ss alternatives and appreciate any views?

Same as mine

seen a few of the 2x 3" but interested to see how they compare noise wise to the 6x4

you sure its not blowing Rob

Mine is near silent, even with the de-cat when under normal driving conditions?

I've actually got a brand new oval Magnex s/s system sitting in the garage now, ordered for somebody who decided he then did not want it ggrr!

Sound will be exactly the same..

lol your garage must be full of shiney stainless
Nah not blowing as I had a crawl under there other week.
Just general resonance @ ~3.5k-4k revs on motorway. Normal hooning about @ lower speeds is fine + deffo in tunnels / car parks (poss neighbours disagree)
