I currently have the rear half of a magnex cat back system cut and shut onto a standard 1.6 centre section. I am happy with how it is but an actual magnex one has come up for sale (not a straight through jobbie).
Is it worth upgrading to one? any less restrictive or better in other ways?

What kind of places did you enquire about regarding custom sections? I couldnt find anywhere local last time I had a look around. How much cheaper would be cheaper?
