Alreet there people!

I've just bought myself a Corsa GSi and need a bit of advice for choosing an exhaust. I have a K&N fitted and it sounds mint, albeit a bit restricted due to the standard exhaust.

I want to keep the CAT (can't be bothered taking it off for MOT), and want a stainless system or back box. I don't want something that sounds silly loud, just something to free up the exhaust flow and sound sporty.

I like the look of the Magnex 6x4" oval. What does a system consist of, it it everything behind the CAT? What do you recon to a Magnex system? Anything else I should consider?

Any help and advice appreciated.

I've heard VERY bad things about PVD over the last 6 months, so don't fancy ordering a BFO. Magnex equivelant should be alright though? Possibly better build quality?

BFO exhausts are hardly made by Pete in his garage - they're made by one of the top exhaust manufacturers in the UK so warranty isn't a problem.

No, BFO rivals Magnex - no way Magnex or CLF or whatever have been anywhere near a BFO

jetex. top quality,supplied with new uprated hangers and clamps,fit's spot on and does'nt sound loud until you really boot it.
i have the jetex laser ss 2.5" system on my valver and it's very quiet why driving normally, it is designed for the gsi originally.

ive got a gsi with a 6x4" sebring exhaust and it sounds and feels mint mate, took my k&n off tho and although its a lot quieter its loads smoother full the revs, pulls off quicker and dont use as much petrol

defo recommend the sebring tho for looks and quality
