Magnex tailpipe sizes & S16 Exhaust - Exhausts Forum - Peugeot 306 GTi-6 & Rallye Owners Club

Post #1

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere but I can't find it:

What sizes of tailpipe did Magnex exhausts come with?
I know of them coming with 3" and 4" which I imagine are both nice-sounding but excessively loud, did they ever come with smaller ones like a 2.5" and if so, does this cut right down on the noise?

Wouldn't mind a nice SS exhaust and don't mind a bit louder than standard but my experiences of big bore backboxes have all been horrific motorway boom so far. I know people like longlife make it to your requirements but I don't have the cash to buy new and quiet exhausts rarely come up for sale.

Thanks.

Edit: Would an S16 cat back SS exhaust (specifically a magnex) mate to a standard gti-6 cat and fit the car etc.?

Only 3" and 4" as far as I know. Yes

Magnex are very boomy, if you don't like boom, look elsewhere. Smile

What exactly makes them so boomy? Ive had other 2.5" bore systems that were'nt like that, can only be design of silencers, if you want to call them thay lol

Yep, pretty much the box design. Yes

Seeing as mine was always only a weekend toy I liked the noise, wouldn't want it as a daily though.

I have a 2.5" bore magnex with a 3" tail pipe on it. The system was pretty quiet until thw baffles started to fail. Now it booms a little but aint too bad. I think anything smaller than a 3" tailpipe would be too small and look silly though.
Heres a couple of pics of mine with the 3" tail pipe.

A pugsport one in this thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=159296
has a 3" tailpipe, however there seems to be all sorts of versions of pugsport and group n type magnex exhausts kicking around.

Was just wondering if a 2.5" one did exist as this might make the noise levels a little more tolerable whilst still sounding great.

My zero exhsust on yhe shb is 2" and is still pretty loud, I know its irrelevant as im not running standard power, at 4500rpm it was 89db so would be alot quieter on a standard 6

Anything can be made to fit.

Ok...will it fit without modification?
Are S16 and Gti-6 exhausts the same or similar from the catback? Think I heard something about potentially different routing...

I had a powerflow cat back system on an s16 and that went straight onto a gti6 no problem at all
