Looking to get some kind of exhust for my gsi as the standard one is very rusty and looks shite. Going to go for a single 3" round one to keep in with the standard look.
Just not sure wether to get a full system or just a back box  what would i gain from a full system?
Also what brands are recomended and what places are good to buy from
Thank you please

I was highly tempted to put not for the attention of willay in the thread 
As yours is one of my options 
exactly what i want, just not sure if i want a full system or not. Although is it possible to buy the rest of the system at a later date if i wanted to?

I had just a single 3" round Magnex backbox on my old GSi. It sounded nice and burbled and popped every now and again. Personally I'd stick a back box on, then do the centre section when it has started to rust and needs replacing.

So can you buy the other parts of the magnex system later on if i decide i wanted them?
Im going outside to see how rusty the rest of the system is, then il go from there i think.

would i get any paticular gain with a full system on a standard gsi? Or is it only really worth it if its combined with other stuff?

Will feel more responsive and will free up the breathing of the engine which is essential before you start any form of tunning whether it be mild or mad.
Also I would recomend buying the full system as you will benefit from the lifetime gurantee also which you wont get when you buy in dribs and drabs.
Go for Magnex as Mav mentioned mine lasted me 6 years on the Corsa and is still going well with the new owner
Also go for ther 3" round will suit a nice standard GSi a treat
