Is anyone else having trouble buying one of these.
I have had on order for 4 weeks now!
Still no sie or sound yet.

Any feedback on the improvements in power and sound please.
Graham

PS. Is it worth going for the downpipes as well?

I ordered one with the resonator box and it only took 4 days from Halfords. This was only 2 weeks ago.

What's the noise like on motorway crusing?

I want a Magnex BB and non-resonator mid section but not the Downpipe because I think that'll be too loud.

I had the Magnex BB, then added the mid then added the DP.

Wasn't much noise difference after fitting the mid, bit more growly. After fitting the DP on load, eg booting it it makes a lovely growl, its a very nice note, but cruising on the motorway is not a problem at all, I never found it intrusive at all. So much so, I changed my round Magnex BB for a scoobysport

whats this C A R place? could you email me the link or put it on here if thats allowed!?

Dont mind waiting 2 weeks or more, is that price with or without the resonator, i presume the resonator just makes it a bit more quiet?

cheers
