I bought a magnex 6x4 oval and was assured it would fit a scoob... received it, and it wont.
Its got the hanger for a VW/Vauxhall....

Optiones are:
Sell it on Ebay
Get it modified to fit the scoob' ..

(Anyone know of anywhere in Notts that will happily weld some scooby hangers on the BB?)

Or is easy enough that any back street garage could do it for me???

Got it for a *great* price, but realised that when things seem to good to be true, they usually are

 

buy some metal strip and some rivets, and say hello to your garage (kitchen doubles as emergency garage also)

well the hanger is totally different...
its a skinny one at the top of the bb..

the scoob ones are either side and one half way down arent they?


any further explanation is appreciated
I'm a mechanical muppet I'm afraid..

 

It's quite straight forward mate

1) Cut the hangers off and make up some sort of strap style hanger. You can get strapping to go round universal boxes.

2) Sell it to someone with a VW for a vast profit and buy an exhaust that fits

 

Cut the hangers off your old exhaust and get a monkey to weld them to the magnex, job done.

 

As its Stainless steel its not easy to weld but you could try TSL they "may be" able to help you ..

You can weld stainless steel with mild steel wire no probs.
Ive done it plenty of times, Obviously from a cosmetic point of view its not ideal, but it is quite easy.
And anything you would be welding, probably wouldnt be visible anyway.

 

was assured it would fit a scoob

????????????????????????????????

can u not tell whoever you got it from that theyre wrong and you want your money back cuz theyre wrong,,,or am i missing something ?

 

Take it to any half decent garage and they will make it fit. Is there noone near you that does custom exhausts.... they could do it blindfolded.

By the way, when i weld stainless with mild mig wire it blows holes all over the shop... maybe i'm just cr4p. Anyway, weldind the mild steel hangers to the stainless BB would be tricky.

 

here goes:

pavlo: could do..
jameswrx; option 2 sounds good..
Legacyturbs: nice idea, but I have a buyer for my current BB and I think he might want the hangers
Attu(Andy)Seeing them this week anyway so I will ask..
stevie: hmm point taken.. need some welding gear tho DOH!
Dazza: Got it for a song, and sending back to seller is more hassle than I need/want the I have to fight for a refund.. easier to get it sorted and make use of it.
MAd: Thats the plan.. plenty of asking about this week (including TSL)

thanks guys.. lots to think on.

 

Chrome, you may have already thought this through but.....

What about the tube dia.(s) Surely Magnex would have used larger dia. bores than used on a Vauxhall. Unless it's for a Turbo Vauxhall of course.

If its not off a Turbo Vauxhall the tube sizes will be smaller and you will be no better if not worse than a standard factory exhaust

I'll shut up now but thought I'd add my 2 pence worth.

Good Luck.

Ste.

 

so: had it checked locally at several places.
not going to fit without serious modification. so not worht it
trying to get a refund from seller....

either that or if anyone knows of someone with a mk2 gold 8v/16v then let me know (serial number checked with magnex and its defo for a golf.
