Have just got a magnex centre pipe and backbox fitted, however the tail pipe seems to sit down really low below the bumper. Can anyone help with why this is and a way to make it sit up in the cut out in the bumper? Many thanks

is it a new system or the old classic system? my classic style backbox 3" one was a bit off-centre and drooped, so i've just used a load of cable ties and some brute force to lift it up about an inch. works fine and has been like this for years now. saves bending hangers etc________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Wil try to post a pic up when it's light, a mate fitted it but he said he couldn't get it to go any higher up, I don't know if it's old classic system as got it when I bought the car and only just fitted it as the standard box decided to split. |

4'' FTW!The height of the examples in the pics looks about right. You will need to have a look underneath and see what is obstructing the exhaust going any higher if it is not sitting in the valence cutout.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Must admit, I bought mine in 2005 and although it broke once, I got it professionally TIG welded back up instead of buying a new one. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

The thing with the 3'' tailpipe is IMO it doesn't seem to fill up the valence cutout in the bumper nicely.________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

odd that given the standard tailpipe is 3" and fits fine I just think you're a bunch of chavs with your 4" cannons  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Gota love the 3" tooter. And I must say, my magnex is relativly quiet but with a subtle rumble. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

4" is way too big! I'm slightly embarrassed to have a 3" tbh. Pea shooter FTW! |
