Default Magnex exhaust..Scorpian backbox?

Iv currently got a full magnex ss exhaust on my s2, but i dont think it sounds too nice tbh, its the 3 inch back box one i think. My question is, could i buy a scorpian back box (4 inch rolled out i think?) and swap it for my magnex one? Because i heard an rst and it sounded mint..im sure it had a scorpin 4inch rolled out, possibly mongoose though? Cheers.

the 3inch magnex is pretty quiet. They do a 4in which is much louder. Careful with scorpian boxes - a lot of them where massively restictive - u can see it when u look down them.

yes - but they may not be available new. Just keep an eye out on ebay, sure you will find one. A mongoose 4in would be good too.

The join for the back box is in a totally different place on a scorpion system in comparison to the magnex. Scorpion system is in two parts, wehre as the magnex is broken down into more sections. The scorpion b.box includes the bend round the rear arm.

What would a 4 inch magnex sound like aposed to my 3 inch magnex, in my honest opinion my 3 inch magnex sounds like a fookin tank!
