Just got MY96 UK Turbo, and want to upgrade the exhaust. Cant decide between Magnex 6x4 or Scorpion 'Tuner'. Can anyone advise ? have u got either system fitted, and do you notice any increase in BHP, or in sound?

Have also got a 96 uk turbo. Fitted the scorpion tuner B/B 4" straight cut, fitted good, sounds good burbly but not mega loud, price very reasonable £200 ish (welds not as tidy as magnex but functionally sound, you do not see them once on the car anyway). Fitted the magnex straight through centre pipe as well £55 ish.
I have rolling roaded mine at 230 bhp with exhaust as above + pipercross panel filter.I am very happy with my setup

Both are good quality,forget about the old cr*p about scorpion exhausts aint as good as Magnex,its a load of bull! IMO
I would go for what design is best for you and if you are tight
the price.

ive got a full magnex decat with 6x4 tail pipe well build system fits well and a nice sound, loud but not to loud i think a good all round system for the money but its what ever suits you.
As for the power you defo notice the power/tourqee increase the most power increase is the down pipe, i would say from my car and other cars 20-25bhp and a good amount of tourqe is about right for a full decat
hope this helps

Planky did not say that scorpion are not as good as magnex.
They sound, fit,look good and give a bit more bhp at a good price.
Just noticed that the welds were finished slightly better on my magnex pipe compared to my scorpion back box.
Just fit whichever tailpipe you like best.
