Looks a very similar colour to my wheels, looking good! Personally i think dark wheels are a must on the Manstone as it contrasts the light paintwork of the body.Looks much better dark metallic on a Manstone than say on an Astor or Black imo Magnex - have fun with that haha!

bo***cks, why are they so loud? My 309 one was quieter than the aftermarket standard one i had on it!Are they even that loud without the center section? I really want black masks too. ________________________________________ 1999 Gaystone blue '6,1990 sierra cosworth 4x2 |

Louder with no mid box i guess?  I dont really know ive not had one, but i thought as a general rule exhausts are louder with no midbox ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

i meant without the magnex middle box, its got a silencer, but will probably make it louder than a standard center pipe?Meh, i'll try it, if its s**t, it's coming off. ________________________________________ 1999 Gaystone blue '6,1990 sierra cosworth 4x2 |

Pretty sure the back box off a Magnex system won't fit onto your standard centre section Dan,the Magnex are sleeve fit,standard uses olive joint.matt evans wrote: Wongy wrote: and what about decat's, worth it, or is it just going to make my exhaust unbearably noisy? Nope the Magnex alone will do that!  Had one on mine for 20 miles, took it off and sold it immediatly. It was shocking.Wheels look good Dan.  Take no notice of Matt by the way  Hes OLD and grumpy..................... ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Well, the magnex is on, after a bit of faffing around, and a few tweeks to get it to sit nicely in the bumper, sitting pretty well now i think?And its not that loud, the way you lot were talking i was expecting it to be horrendous, its not bad at all! Not as quiet as my 309 was, but still not like a big power cossie with no center box that sets half the neighbors car alarms off!   ________________________________________ 1999 Gaystone blue '6,1990 sierra cosworth 4x2 |

I got it up to 60-70 mph and it wasn't unbearable, the cats still on it which may help, will have to wait and see. I like the look of it though. ________________________________________ 1999 Gaystone blue '6,1990 sierra cosworth 4x2 |
