Hello,

Short question. If I put a straight pipe intstead of the two silencers between the standard FRST exhaust. Will this make any difference to the torque or horsepower?

cheers

As you have a turbo car, it will free up your horsepower and torque, just make sure u get the right mm wide pipe

Buy a Mongoose, much easier

i have got a 4"mongoose system if ur intersted its done 40 miles on the car(it was a bit droney for me,im gettin too old i suppose!)

Buy a Magnex or a Mongoose. Cutting the silencers out is a bit of a bodge and can get you into trouble with the plod

buy a full scorpion system, i think its about 300 quid but get the 4 inch one and you wont reget it

Don't waste your money on a Scorpion. It'll lose you power. Go with everyone else and get the Mongoose

Oranoco

It is absolute bollocks that the Scorpion will lose power I use one on my Scort with no adverse effects as does Alexzvh.

Any of these three exhausts will be fine on you your car

Ok thnx, start saving money for a mongoose, i think. Oranoco, sorry for my stupid question but I can't translate the words "bodge"and "plod" for myslef in dutch. Do you maybe have another description of those words for me please?

cheers.

bodge means when someone does a job but it isn't done properly or to a good standard so it been "bodged"

plod = the police

Ever see how restrictive they can be ? I know that a cossie scorpion exhaust is very bad. You have a 3" or 4" pipe going to the backbox but a tiny hole at where the pipe and box meet, that stops the gases from flowing.

Not on mine it doesn't

turtleturbo

Ok thnx for explaining the words

Scottish Greg

I had forgotten to mention it was a 3dr ... sorry. But we honestly shined a torch into the tailpipe and saw a tiny hole that the gases were meant to pass through to enter the back box. Waste of time having all the 3" pipe to hit a 1" entry hole for the back box.

No worries like that with a Mongoose, you can lose a limb down the back box, even on a FRST one

oh, right. Never heard of that before. Never really liked mongoose' , they seem to droney, but saying that i now have a scorpion with the middle box removed and it's loud as fook
