Yea, the magnex have got the best 'subtle' sound...and the 3.5 is perfect for the back of the car...
Only bad thing is that u can see the box. I like my Scorpion (Imola), has the box on an angle so you cant really see it...

i got a scorpion now, and think it's shit, very crap fitment, now matter how i adjust it - dont think it help with it being the 2.5" bore grp a one...
would take a magnex over one any day again
both sound near enough the same aswell

I'd agree with the fitting problems tbh. Is a bit of a mission. But once its on thats it...i have no problems. I like the noise too. With it being a 2 box system, its not too noisy, but at the same time gives off a nice tone when you're up in the rev range...cant wait to see what the GSi will sound like with it on!

Yeah had to be done, hate maintaining the plastics, had abit of an arse acke this time as i had all the arches and bumper tops done same colour as the brocade yellow corsa, then bought the wheels and they were to much of a different colour so i payed and got it all done again, sat there for hours trying to match the colour, was worth it though. Not much else planned, just see this as a runaround now.
