Do the mongoose systems sound stupid with the centre boxes removed? as i was thinking of doing this with mine ( i know it depends on the ex housing to an extent)

I cut out the centre box of my Mongoose and to be honest it sounds much the same except on boost where it dose seem to be a wee bit louder.
I have a spare system sitting in the garage just incase i change my mind though.
mine is deffo a 3 1/2 it aint got the tacky mongoose engraved thought but do have a receipt for a 3 1/2 mongoose system. I could be wrong though i will get the tape measure out
Inside diameter is just under 3 1/2 inches i would say 3 1/3 but closer to 3 1/2 than 3"
How is it fitted at the front cos a 3/ 1/2 wont bolt up it needs a reducer pipe. Only one company I connected could actually produce a 3 1/2 system & even they had to buy the bends in. Biggest Mongoose is a 3" can i suggest you are measuring the tail pipe, which on mine is 4" the rest is 3".

My Mongoose sounds pukka, they are the the best exhaust for the saff IMO, however i do have some clearance issues sometimes when fully loaded (TBH i think my suspension has seen better days LOL!)
The Magnex system fits better, has 2 middle silencers and is therefore quieter but it's more expensive and harder to get hold of.

Ye the tail pipe mofo's. Not sure on the diameter of the actual system but it dont look muchg smaller than the tailpipe. It will most likely be 3" system with 3 1/2" tailpipe

Thank God for that i was going to come round & pinch the bl**dy thing. .
Still im still going to go & pinch Nikki's 4" been quoted £2000 to make one of them.

Never said it wasnt loud, just said that there wasnt much difference on idle or normal driving between the one with the centre section that has been opened up and everything removed as opposed to the system with the centre box intact. Like i said once it comes on boost you notice a different note. personally i dont think its that much different, well not from the inside anyway. Really aint to bothered as its on my play cossie so only comes out now and then.
On my 4x4 i have a standard Mongoose with the smallest tailpipe i could get. It has a pretty big oval centre box in it and it is perfect. Could drive around all day and it wouldnt bother me. No droning or anything. Highly recomended
