You will need a proper exhaust of at least 2.5 inch bore from turbo back so best get someone who knows what they are doing to build one for you |

As long as you make a decent downpipe(maybe 3" if it will fit) and get rid of the 2" piece at the front,your magnex will be fine for 270 bhp. Much bigger at that power level will only make it louder.Once you get to 300bhp you may want to consider having a bigger system made up. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |
