Default 2WD sapphire exhaust - which one to get?

I need to replace the exhaust on my standard 2WD sapphire cosworth. Any suggestions on which one to get?

Mongoose every time, Magnex may fit better but they sound shit compared to Mongoose - but i'd buy secondhand as new prices are mental compared to used.

Have one of these on my car and it sounds quiet till you drive it hard which is a nice thing as constant exhaust noise drives me mental.

Do you still get a Blueflame for these? if so its the same as the Mongoose but with flange joints instead of sleeve and clamp - so personal choice.

Agreed. Paid £140 for a used Magnex for my 3dr. Bought it on a hunch because it was described as 'maker unknown' on Ebay, but comparing the pics to the ones on the Magnex website it looked just like a Magnex.
Turned out it was.
Result.

Fitted perfectly and still has a nice rasp to it when given the beans, but also doesn't drone and get inside your head on a long trip like the Mongoose did.

No I have one of these and they fit really well just the 4" slash cut tailpipe is a bit chav.

Sue Collins got her knickers in a twist and stopped them from making them as its a very similar system...

I'd love a Magnex system on mine but it won't fit with the 6 degree beam.

Would say Magnex or Mongoose. Had both and no issues at all.

Magnex fitted on mine now, perfect fit ;
