I've just fitted a SS BB to my magnex centre with no resonator, has anyone else tried this combo and how did you find it matched up?

Until it was all tightened up the BB was rubbing on the rear driveshaft but after tightening its now a couple of cms clear. Mate with a wagon and full SS system had about an inch or twos clearance...........

Any thoughts/comments?

Hi Rob

No worries, glad they make the car look better. Ian and I did have to chuckle when you started your car - it sounded mental

Hopefully see you at a ScoobySnacks meet in the near future.

Cheers
Neil.

Currently have a resonated Magnex centre to SS BB and SS DP. Apparently the Maggy CC caused some problems to fit.

I have that combo works well fella although the magnex mid is slightly shorter than the SS, so there were minor fitting issues.

Scott,

Thanks for that, and could well explain the problem. The gap between the exhaust and driveshaft is half what it was with the Magnex BB, so if the SS BB is designed for a slightly longer mid section, when tightened up it would reduce the gap.
Anyway, seems fine, and a good job too, coz it ain't coming off, that exhaust note is very addictive

Cheers for the reply
Neil.
