Yo. I am looking on getting a Blue Flame BFO back box, and replace my Magnex one, but I have a magnex full system. Wondering if i can use that Magnex centre section, for my new back box...

Also, need a new cat, cos' my centre section is hanging down a little, so scraping on speedbumbs and shit, how much would one be?

Thanks!

The Magnex centre section meets the backbox ahead of the rear axle so it may not be long enough to meet another backbox which is designed to mate to a system behing the axle.

Why on earth are you replacing Magnex - should last forever?

i woudnt really mix and match unless you know how it will sound and are sure that it will fit perfect!!!
last thing u want is a loose exhaust system!

if it was a custom made backbox that you were getting then it would be ok, but i dont think urs will fit right!

why waste money just to get the size of the tailpipe slightly bigger!!

getting a cat from e.g. kwik fit, will set you back about £150 for a 1.6 corsa, but theirs few places online that sell them for half that price
