Hi John,
I've read recently that Miltek are releasing an exhaust for the CDTI, is this something Magnex is looking at??

Yep - on the radar this one for sure (I'm a BIG fan of performance diesels myself!)
More details to follow...

Half the price of another system...
With marginally less gains (won't be noticable, esp after a remap).
Interesting stuff. Good to see a more competitive "normal" price (im NOT doubting any other systems quality and performance, just the price ).
So, whens my free one being delivered as a current Magnex owner :wink:
Wonder which Exhaust company next will add a tailpipe to the VXR range.

Prices

I have been watching this forum with interest and I have to ask the question after having a price of nearly £1300 from my local Vauxhall dealer for the approved Vauxhall system ,surely the Magnex system is much better value, I would expect twice the increase from the system that is twice as much.
Confusing really. Im not sure Vauxhall have got it right really.

Would'nt like to "taint" your opinion with a free system Daimo, so Im afraid I could'nt possibly oblige
Look on the bright side though...you could eat out every night for a month on what you'd save!

Not to jump on someone elses pricing thread (not really fair) but on the price please compare like for like.
The MIlltek for £1150 includes a 200 cell race cat the Magnex doesn't. If you delete the race cat from the Milltek then its £673 incl VAT.
The issue here is whether the race cats work, we say it does Magnex say its doens't although they haven't actually tested one with a race cat yet.

Nope - Thorney sell the Milltek cat back system for £449.99 and freely admit that they make no power claims for the installation of this part over standard.
Magnex sell's the high flow downpipe & cat back system - retaining OE cats for £599.99, which produces power equivelent to that which Thorney/Milltek claim.
A high flow cat may well give additional power increases when combined with a re-map...how much V/S £££s spent remains to be seen.
Given your "extensive multiple car testing" john would you care to tell the world how much extra power the "racing" cat produces over the O/E cat when coupled with a re-map (superchips?)
