Whisper silent.

If you want loud, remove the baffles.

I'm on my second and they're pretty much silent. Just a nice little burble on idle when you're stood round the back.

They are very quiet but are more for power than noise. I had a scorpion exhaust on my s2 rst and that was just loud enough and gave a gorgeous sound-popped like fook aswell

Magnex are the quietest of the 3, other 2 being Mongoose and Scorpion.

I have a Magnex and my brother has a Mongoose, my Magnex is alot quieter.

But they do sound 'sporty' when you stick your foot down.

Have had on on the 16v 2i for over 4 years now, been a really good exhaust and the only time I find it noisy is when your on the motorway getting up to 80... after that, its okay.

It's just a shame they're no more. They went bankrupt last year.

I know it's not frst, but cozmeister has a magnex system on his 2wd sapph, which is really quiet until you are in the car then bloody noisy, whereas my 2wd sapph has a scorpion, a bit noisy until in the car then pretty silent.
I'm getting on in the years so quiet suits me.

Magnex, quiet with a nice burble till you open the taps, then a nice noise. The only choice of stainless for an rst IMO
