I'd say Ashley but as its between magnex and mongoose then go for the goose. Magnex build quality is s**t.

okay mongoose sound nice and loud and magnex sound more quiet than mongoose and scorpion. Magnex though has quality fitting so i would go for magnex unless you wanna mess about fitting a mongoose and they are more for a turbo car

Mongoose for deffo, I have had 4 mongoose exhausts now 1 on a Fiesta Si, 1 on a Fiesta XR2i, one on me Fiesta Turbo and the one on my current RS1800.

They have excelent build quality, fit perfectly, and are not to loud (except the one on my FRST).

Would never have a Magnex would prefer some kind of life treatening illness.
