Magnex twin-round outlet anyone

telford_mike · Jul 9, 2002

Does anyone have one of these fitted? Hows it sound?

desmondo · Jul 9, 2002

Must admit Mike - Ive been toying with the idea of one of these myself. IMO the Hayward & Scott Ive seen looks the best but way too pricey - so the twin exit Magnex has been on my hit list for the first mod.

Would be interested if anyone has one fitted.

telford_mike · Jul 10, 2002

Im sure there was a picture of a 172 with a twin fitted - it was ages ago probably on the yahoo 172 forum - I remember thinking it looked good at the time. May have to just go for it!

Black Clio · Jul 11, 2002

I have twin round Magnex exhaust, and everyone says it look and sould good.

telford_mike · Jul 11, 2002

Aha! Got any photos? How close to the gound is it - did you cut the rear valance to get it to fit?

JJ172 · Jul 11, 2002

Anyone got any details/photos of the H&S system?

desmondo · Jul 11, 2002

desmondo · Jul 11, 2002

How do you do that then? I thought:

(http://www.davej.easynet.co.uk/james172/mycliopage/rear%20box.jpg)

minus the brackets would do the trick.

desmondo · Jul 11, 2002

Hmm strange - it didnt work the 1st time.

JJ172 · Jul 11, 2002

Is that the H&S one? Whos car is that? What does it sound like?

telford_mike · Jul 11, 2002

Have a look at:
http://www.davej.easynet.co.uk/james172/

includes a link to Hawward & Scott. Look like it was a custom-made jobbie.

NOW CAN ANYONE SHOW ME A MAGNEX PLEASE??!

desmondo · Jul 12, 2002

Oi - Black Clio! Have you any pics of your zorst?

telford_mike · Jul 12, 2002

BTTT cmon Black Clio - show us yer zorst!

telford_mike · Jul 15, 2002

Ah well we didnt get to see a 172 with a twin-round. BUT; we soon will. I ordered one this morning and might just get it fitted in time for Wednesday at Bedford.

desmondo · Jul 15, 2002

Nice one Mike. Hopefully itll be done by Wednesday then so we can what it looks like in the metal.

How much did you pay?

Rich

telford_mike · Jul 15, 2002

£330 fitted. Im *really* hoping DT can get it delivered and fitted tomorrow! If not I may have to camp out at Demon Tweeks on Wednesday and get it fitted first thing, before the dash down to Bedford!

Roamer · Jul 15, 2002

Nice one Mike, Ill look forward to seeing it on Wednesday matey!

-Roamer.

Black Clio · Jul 16, 2002

desmondo, my pics are in the gallery on this site

desmondo · Jul 16, 2002

Looks good mate - might add one to my Birthday wish list now!

Mike - is it gonna be ready 4 tomorrow?

Rich

telford_mike · Jul 16, 2002

Yeah got it!! Just going to clean the car and polish the zorst and then Ill post a pic.

Subtle? I dont think so!!

desmondo · Jul 16, 2002

Excellent - does it improve sound?

telford_mike · Jul 16, 2002

Des you can judge whether it improves the sound tomorrow - its quite loud particularly at low revs - gets less intrusive once youre in the VVT band but then everythings going crazy then anyway. Its a lurrrvely noise anyway.

The car feels loads faster but thats probably just due to the fact that it sounds like a Tornado taking off.

chris172 · Jul 16, 2002

Excellent choice!!!

I think im in luurv!

Griff · Jul 16, 2002

That is gorgeous! Do Magnex do a decat option to go with that?

Griff

telford_mike · Jul 16, 2002

Not sure about a de-cat - didnt ask. Id already allowed myself to be persuaded (thanks Nick!) to get the cat-back rather than just the back-box so went over budget. If there is a de-cat Id have probably had that too which may have had a major impact on this months mortgage payment!

Might get one next month tho

chris172 · Jul 16, 2002

What did the insurance co say?? did they want more cash.
Asked about an air filter, didnt say it was a Viper but they want about £50 a year extra!

JJ172 · Jul 16, 2002

Does anyone know if Magnex would make a Mk2 172 zorst which doesnt exit under the bumper, but looks factory and exits behind the bumper?

telford_mike · Jul 17, 2002

No opinion yet from the insurance Chris, but they (Tesco) werent bothered when I lowered the car and I doubt theyll make a big fuss about this as long as I tell them and provide details of the fitter etc. After all its already group 16 - you can insure a Jag for the same money.

jon j · Jul 20, 2002

mike, smart exhaust. want one just like that. to make life easier do you know the part no, and are they 3.5" pipes?

telford_mike · Jul 20, 2002

Hi Jon, the Demon Tweeks number (which may or may not be the same as the Magnex part number) is MNX XSR05/TR. Yes theyre 3.5 inch pipes.

jon j · Jul 20, 2002

mike, think DT are a bit confused! I emailed them and asked for a price, their reply was "the magnex will only fit 2000 to april 2001 cars.the only exhaust we list for the phase 2 clio is from remus and costs £260.00 for a back box"

I know you got yours from them so will get on phone to them!

thanks for your help, nice motor BTW

telford_mike · Jul 20, 2002

The bloke who sorted mine is called John Harris. Hes got stuff for me before, he knows what hes on about and hell give you a bit of a discount if you mention youre from Cliosport. Theres a direct dial phone number for him: 01978 663057. Hell probably put you through to one of the tyre / exhaust people.

Anyhow, tell em from me that the exhaust fits a Mk2 a treat - (mine was fitted on the 16th July if they want to check) no rattles or wobbles - it even survived a track day on Wednesday! Good luck! Email me at mmikee@tesco.net if you still get no joy and Ill try to help.
Mike.

Black Clio · Jul 21, 2002

Hi Mike, Does your Magnex Exhaust hit the heat shield? If I have rear passangers, the exhaust hits the heat sheild and makes a rattling sound..

VX-Tony · Jul 21, 2002

Anyone know a price for the H&S ?

Griff · Jul 21, 2002

Tony they havent developed an exhaust for the Mk2 yet mate..

telford_mike · Jul 21, 2002

Black Clio - no, doesnt hit anything. No rattles with 3 passengers, doesnt even make a sound when slammed (unintentionally) over speed bumps.

Nick Read · Jul 21, 2002

If that TicTac shaped tailpipe is the H&S one, Id say leave it, I was following a mystery 172 in traffic the other day and it looked like a cheap bolt on tailpipe trim. Far too flat and wide. Sorry if its anyone lurking on here that Im talking about!

The classic Magnex 6x4 oval is nice as long as it hasnt got that weird blanking plate inside it, but the twin looks different and worth getting Id say. What about getting rid of the spare wheel and going for one 3" slash cut pipe on each side?

VX-Tony · Jul 21, 2002

Nick, the H&S one is pictured near the top. I think I prefer the less obtrusive look which I think the H&S has, the twin one above is a little loud (not sounding) for me.

Maybe Ill get one that doesnt stick out the back - might pay a visit to hill power and get it lowered too - might speak to insurance co first.
Anyone know what exhaust Arjun had? Cant remember - was that from hillpower?
