Right what do you lot think is the better exhaust for sound, build quality etc out of the mongoose, magnex, and scorpion, as i have a 4" magnex with flexi on my series 2 at the mo but have recently bought a mongoose and also been offered a scorpion, but have always wanted a mongoose on a series 2 have had plenty of scorpions and magnex's. But just wanted your lots opinions, cheers
I have mongoose 2.5" bore with 4" out and i think tune is ok but the sound is way too loud, i had to install extra silencer and i think its still too loud for my use. Mongoose is real boyracer choice! + i think the 4" out looks pretty funny. 2.5-3" out would be better.
I only choose my exhaust because i get it very very cheap in new.

The Power Engineering systems are the best. Not made any more so would need to be a used one but they are the best looking and with a nice rumble but quiet at speed. What I've got on my S1.

well the magnex has the flexi but not the mongoose, the mongoose has a 3.5 inch tailpipe, also would the flexi section from the magnex fit with the mongoose system as its the same bore 2.5 inch bore????

they used to have a plaque on them but obviously its come off!! but yours is def the same as mine m8, have had a 3" magnex and now i have a 4" and i must say there is quite a difference imo, but just want to get this mongoose fitted but am not sure if i can fit the flexi of the magnex with the rest of the mongoose system??
Had a Scorpion on mine when I got it and it was too loud and knocked on the floor all the time. Sold that on ebay and bought a Mongoose 2.5" bore with 4" outward rolled pipe, definately the ONLY exhaust to have on a S2.

not sure wot mine is has oval silencer 4 inch tailpipe wiv slightly flared lip,not rolled tho and has flexi.sounds awesome.lots of people want flexis,ive heard that people say u can hear the turbo more thru it.is that true????????????
Not sure what exhaust Ive got on mine. think it might be a magnex full system, the previous owner had the tail pipe straight cut, also, im sure its had some baffles removed or something, as it is a fair bit louder than usual. Really nice warble sound up to about 3000 rpm then it goes into a sort of bassy rasp! (if that makes sense lol)
personally i do find it a bit loud at times... but my old exhaust just fell apart and it was only Ł10 on ebay!!. god bless spelling mistakes!

Ebay is good for some things

Here's mine a full Scorpion Stainless Steel Exhaust System with a 4” rolled out tail pipe they sound awesome there's no reason I would change it for any thing else but don't get me wrong mongoose and magnex are still good makes.
just checked the mongoose site and they do a outward rolled one,never used to,was always inward rolled on a 3"bore,the outward rolled is better lookin anyway
