Yep you'd be right there dazza, I have got the prodrive BB. It was already fitted when I bought the car. And seeing as I still have a load of warranty,I don't want to go too crazy. Centre section easy to change back in times of need

Magnex Twin-dump D/P from J-W Racing £200. Well worth having, mine was a bit of an @sre to fit as someone had rounded the lower turbo flange nut.

Question

Dazza,

What size bolts did the centre section come with then? Were they useable? I'm planning to get the same thing but my original bolts are knackered so will need replacing. If they don't fit does anyone know size bolts I need to get hold of?

Cheers,
James

Question

I've just ordered the Magnex decat non-res centre from Graham Goode Racing and they claim that the exhausts don't come with bolts or fittings. They are supplying them to me at extra cost! Along with replacement gaskets (another £35) the total to replace the section comes to around £120.

Does this sound right?

Cheers,
James

Cheers Daz, I got your mail - thats a better price! The £120 that I was quoted was made up of roughly:

Magnex decat, non-res centre - £55
Rear gasket - £9
Front gasket - £22
Fittings - £10
P&P - £10
VAT - 17.5% on all the above

I've had confirmation from Magnex that the fittings should be included with exhaust and GG said they would refund the cost of these. I guess you didn't have to get new gaskets for yours either but mine are pretty much mullered so I need them too
