Currently have a K&N 57i kit and Scorpion 3" (with 4" tailpipe) exhaust system (downpipe back).

I am looking to replace my downpipe, and I am thinking between these two pipes: 1, they both seem to have good reviews, 2, they seem reasonably priced

Are these good pipes, should I expect to get any performance increase? How much louder is this going to be? The Scorpion system that I have is the early type, and very loud However, with this and the induction kit, not sure how much louder I can take!

PS. I understand that there is a new and improved Magnex downpipe, does anyone have any experience of this?

Ian.

IIRC the Magnex is 'twin dump' (i.e. separate exit from the wastegate; the two pipes join up a few feet further down) whereas the Scoobysport one isn't (it's 'wide mouth'). The Scoobysport one is 3" tapering to 2.5" at the join -- I don't know anything about the Magnex's internal diameter.

Question

What is the main difference (advantages) between the twin dump and single downpipe?
