Mongoose every time, Magnex may fit better but they sound shit compared to Mongoose - but i'd buy secondhand as new prices are mental compared to used.

Have one of these on my car and it sounds quiet till you drive it hard which is a nice thing as constant exhaust noise drives me mental.

Do you still get a Blueflame for these? if so its the same as the Mongoose but with flange joints instead of sleeve and clamp - so personal choice.

Agreed. Paid £140 for a used Magnex for my 3dr. Bought it on a hunch because it was described as 'maker unknown' on Ebay, but comparing the pics to the ones on the Magnex website it looked just like a Magnex.
Turned out it was.
Result.

Fitted perfectly and still has a nice rasp to it when given the beans, but also doesn't drone and get inside your head on a long trip like the Mongoose did.

No I have one of these and they fit really well just the 4" slash cut tailpipe is a bit chav.

Sue Collins got her knickers in a twist and stopped them from making them as its a very similar system...

I'd love a Magnex system on mine but it won't fit with the 6 degree beam.

Would say Magnex or Mongoose. Had both and no issues at all.

Magnex fitted on mine now, perfect fit ;
