    Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions/experience on fitting a Magnaflow exhaust to an R50? I have the opportunity to buy one a good price, but I'm not sure about the looks of the system. A bargain isn't a bargain unless you really want the item. It looks to me like something the Overhaulin' team would throw onto a sixties muscle car.

    I originally ordered a Megan system, but that seems to be on back order until the second coming.

    It's not a bad looking exhaust, but I am quite partial to the Megan for sound. It is reserved but distinguished.

    As for the sound, it's not bad.

    I had the Magnaflow on our R53 and it was a quality system. I also have Magnaflow on my 04 Jetta 1.8T, 90 GTI 1.8T, and 88 16V Scirocco. You can't go wrong with their build quality, fit, and sound.
