Default Magnex or Mongoose ??

I have a scorpion fitted at the moment. Its not a very good fit,lt hangs down a fair bit underneath. I don't like the tail pipe either. Its oval with just a straight cut. I'm going for a 330 conversion over the summer so i need a sorted pipe. Do share your recomendations with me.

i have had both on me escort, magnex has a great fit as its like the standard one and is nice and quiet, the mongoose is a one piece and is louder and is ment to be less restrictive, i have a mongoose on mine now but i have over 400 bhp and on a 330 you can take your pic mate as realy it wont make much difference depends if you want it quiet or not

hope this help dunc

How are they contructed clearance-wise. Any pics? I currently have my own creation on the car and it catches all the time. Would take pretty trick design to have more clearance.

Thanks for your advice guys & gals I'll probably go for a Magnex, Roads round here aren't great so i don't think a Mongoose would last long. The Scorpion is in shit already. Just looking in Fast Ford and between different dealers the price for a Magnex is from 520quid to 285quid Whats the story here Are there two different types ???
