Are they any good?Opinions please,i have one fitted to my S2, i never see them around much so just wondered why??

 

Never personally heard of one on a RST Not my choice at all but if it's doing the job....

Any pics?

 

Pants are they?its a 4inch rolled ,looks fine .havent got any pics but will take some tomorrow if you want.What are normally seen on?

 

Heard mixed stuff mate, bit pants in my experience though yeah. It's franchised so can't be sure job you'll get on one....

Most people have Scorpion/Magnex/Mongoose.

Deffo get pics up yeah

 

was one on my 3dr - utter shite,

the welds were appalling,spatter all over,rubbed on the anti-roll bar every 500miles,one of the pipes butted up to the silencer at 45`

when i went to stage 3 it strangled the engine,went straight out and got a mongoose-world of difference

sorry if its slightly off topic not being an s2 but its my experience

 

my mate had 1 on his fiesta a few year back...had a nice tone but was shite..was made out of mild steel and started rusting quite quickly...they may have changed by now tho...

 

Thanks for the replys,it was fitted to the car when i bought it,looks like ill have to put it on the to do list.

 

good exhaust on a standard sort of car.

but on performance car like your rs's. its a NO NO

magnex or mongoose all the way

 

Powerflow are shite. Get rid.

Mongoose all the way!

 

or scorpion m8, as they are just as good as mongoose and magnex.

 

on an RS a powerflow would be a no no, they just arent exactly designed with performance in mind

have a cat back system on my vectra sri daily though, mainly cos it worked out loads cheaper than a standard centre section replacement and irmscher back box from vauxhall. sounds nice too.

lads at my local powerflow are good welders aswel though, so that helps, quality elsewhere can be hit and miss, iv seen other powerflow systems that look like nursery kids welded it with a fisher price 'my 1st MIG'

 

I disagree.

 

you are entitled to your opinion m8, i have just had a mongoose put on my rst and it doesn't fit anywhere near as well as a scorpion or magnex!!!

 

i agree that they arent the best fit but they do sound the nuts on a rst..got a 4inch outwardly rolled on mine which i think looks quality

 

my mongoose was fitted 1st time out whilst absolutely knackered n half asleep in the middle of the night after a massive day converting the car, and even then we managed to get it fitting perfectly in pretty quick time! lol

mongoose systems fit great, the welds and the general quality is great, plus they seem to sound the best too wouldnt like to say which gives best performance, although if christian is saying mongoose, i guess theres my answer lol

 

The welding is top notch as is the sound of them, but my 3.5 inch just doesnt fit as well as the others, i will be sticking with it though and eventually get it fitting perfect!!!!

 

Depends on whether you're after the best fit or the best performer. Mongoose has been proven for years. Scorpion always had the issue of using very small bore pipework through the silencer.

 

Preferably i would like both both lol, but have always had magnex and scorpion on my other 6 rst's so desperatly wanted a mongoose, i just want it to fit reasonably well!!!

 

Mongoose sounds and performs the best IMO, Magnex for the sleeper aspect or for flexi sections. Scorpion even sound stangled when they're whistlin to me 3rd by default

 

My Mongoose fitted like a glove!!

 

if you only want to go down the route of mongoose, scorpion or magnex then go mongoose mate as they do the job best out of those 3.........however there are other custom exhaust manufacturers out there that arent franchised that will do you an exhaust which will be diff to the norm, if wanted, but have the advantage of fitting perfectly .

off the shelf exhausts will always be cheaper as theyre mass produced and for testing purposes will always pop up tops in polls but thats probably only because if you striving for out and out power its a big risk for people to try a custom exhaust company if it doesnt come up with the goods so most choose out of the 3 mentioned above.
