172 Performance Back Box



  Chocolate Bar™
Not really such a thing as a 'performance backbox' if you want one that makes a bit of noise, any will do. If you wana proper performance system go to someone like yozzasport for a proper job. For something in between, makes like blue flame and magnex or a custom job like powerflow or prospeed.

Cheers lads, i've just ordered a magnex oval back box, anyone got one/know what they're like?

magnex make a nice noise, quite quiet. obviously because its not a full cat back system wont make much difference in performance. Good quality stuff though on the whole

^^^ Most offer lifetime warrantys tbh . You didn't hang about ordering one did ya ? You asked your question at 16.23 and by 17.17 you'd ordered one , lol . Good job nobody posted that the magnex are crap . How much was the magnex by the way , powerflow are about £120 fitted .

Your jokin ain't ya! It was 170, i tried ringing my local powerflow dealer and they didn't answer, i was certain they'd be more than that!

I only paid £270 for a full cat back fitted at my local powerflow .

I'm not surprised, it needs to be to get people to live there! The only reason i'm not getting a full system is that my back box fell off again( the last one was under warranty but its broke at exactly the same place where the mid pipe goes into the back box, just over two years ago so i can't claim on warranty!) They replaced the mid pipe and back box then so the mid pipes good and as i can't have a non genuine back box fitted as it knocks like fack i thought rather than spend 110 on a renault one with a year warranty might as well spend little bit extra on a decent looking one! Anyone else had the back box fall off, it must be a common problem because of how the mounts are!

Ive got a powerflow backbox and that fell off because the exhaust hanger snapped of the backbox was mega pi**ed off. I brought the car with the backbox already on and could not be bothered to take it to a dealer lucky for me i can weld!apart from that tho the box itself is good quality and sounds really nice, loud tho!!!

Had a Magnex on my 172.....twin 3,5 inch pipes way too big for the car and it looked silly.

Sounded nice though...got a K-tec steslth on it now which is lighter and not visible ike the OE system:)

Depends what you want to spend . I had a stealth stainless catback on my 172 , lifetime guarantee from Powerflow in Burnley . Couldn't fault it or the guys work . Sounded alot better than the orginal exhaust .
