Hi Turd 
.
I've got a Magnex 6x4 oval backbox and it's a superb sound on idle and low revs, a really nice, deep burble.
It make a nice roar under heavy acceleration but is suprisingly quiet on the motorway and plodding round town. It really is a nice bb.
I've had it on for a few months now but have realised that I want the burble and the "growl" that some backboxes give so I've just bought a TSL Ti-phoon. I have a feeling it may prove to be a bit OTT, expecially on the motorway but what the hell, gotta give it a go!!

They are nice, I've managed to get a buyer for mine today as my Ti-phoon's being delivered early next week
I just hope I'm not over doing it with the noise as I live in a small "close" of flats and don't want to pi55 off the neighbours......much.
The Magnex is really good because it isn't really noticable when cruising on the motorway at 75-80mph.

I also wanted Magnex for its subtle sound but I wanted a 4" round one which they don't do.
Went for Mongoose.
My Brother has same car as me and he has Magnex 6x4. (Looks like a drainpipe)
They sound virtually the same.

I had the full (turbo back) magnex system on my old UK car and really liked it.
Nice deep burble at idle and low revs and suprisingly civilised on the motorway.

I`ve got the same system you`ve just won on ebay buddy on my JDM 94 wrx and it`s an excellent alrounder. Like people have said nice burble on tickover and low revs and a lovely growl under hard acceleration. but when your on the motorway its nice and sedate
