its 2" and stainless, anyone know what brand it is? there are rectangle plates on the silencers but cant make out what it says, it looks well made whatever it is

yeah a few people have said it looks like a magnex, the tip that comes out the rear box goes down at an angle. dosnt the mk1 systems go off to the side?

is it only the pipe that comes out of the end off the back box that would be different between mk1's and mk2's?

mines has had the tip cut off so i thought i could just mate a tip fit to it

I'd say Magnex too, they tagged plates with their name and the part number on to each piece. The Mk2 systems for anything other that the GSi had tail pipes that bent down from the back box in an S shape to fit under the bumper. Post a better pic of the back box and I'll tell you if it's the same.

Edit: Just seen your post about the tip being missing. On the one I had years back the polished tip on the system above was just crimped onto the pipe (the GSi one that my car has now has a full polished pipe from the back box).
