mongoose v magnex
looking to replace exhaust on escos shortly , i know the magnex fits really well but i thought i read on here a while back the mongoose can sometimes foul on a bit of bulkhead or something ?.
is the mongoose a better exhaust (power wise)?

If fitted correctly you shouldn't have a problem with the Mongoose, got one on mine & its fine.Not sure about the power gains.

I would have thought the power difference would be minimal anyway so i wouldnt worry too much about that. I have a magnex and the fit is spot on. Ive heard a few people mention about the a poor fit on mongoose. Also, due to the magnex's design, you also get a bit more ground clearance, which is great if you live near those dodgy speed bumps, or if your drives on a slope.

Does the Magnex come with a performance Cat ? I know the Mongoose doesn't.
