Definately worth the money.

The rattle isn't even that loud, only heard it the other day, but now i know it's there, it's annoying me, you only hear it for a split second as the revs rise.

I would definately recommend the Firestorm, huge improvement over the magnex in terms of sound.

Cant say anything about performance, as i'm still running a standard system, cats etc.. So for me it's just the noise levels that have changed..oh...and the pops and bangs !

Found the problem!
The noises only seemed to happen when cornering to the left at speed, turns ou the brackets supplied with teh box have a little more plat than the standards, and the pipe is tapping the diff on occations! I thing a drill and a few pins should be able to sort it and tighten up the box!
