I have the single 3" pipe mongoose fitted on my 3dr and can recommend it. Its not noisy by any means but has a nice burble to it for a little 2.0 4 pot motor.

I have the 3" single pipe, but on long drives it can be quite annoying as there's quite a drone coming from the exhaust. At some moments I wish I chose the OE style mongoose.

yeah, splits into two after the downpipe, into two centre boxes, then back together for a single rear box.

sits up lovely under the body, much better than the Mongoose I used to have

Does the magnex sit higher up then than a mongoose when fitted? Sounds like it's more speed bump friendly

yep, it fits like a standard system, tucked up nicely under the bodywork. my old mongoose used to drag over every hump, this one doesn't come close
