Some Corksucking ICEhole nicked my Mongoose of my Cab last week/up on
stands too long in Leyton I guess.......
Now I have to get another, the Mongoose sounded awesome (setting off
car alarms etc as it went) but what do you guy's recon on the other
Makes?

 

Mongoose are lovely exhausts.

To be fair any of the decent zorsts will be fine Mongoose, Magnex or Scorpion (which are NOT restrictive despite what some say)

 

im all scorpoin love it and sounds sweet a nice 4ich outwardlly rolled

 

am happy with the sound of my magnex 4" exhaust.

the police however are not and have pulled me over before and complained about noise pollution.

 

4 inch scorpion sounds awesome but a bit droney on long journeys

 

ive got a 3" torque tube exhaust with a 4"outwardly rolled exaust and it sounds awsome,
i dont think ive ever seen another rs turbo with a torque tube, but it does sound very different to the mongoose on my other car.
build quality is also brilliant although it doesnt have a flexi section at the front.

 

mongoose

 

mongoose sounds the best but the magnex fits the best and also has a flexi

 

I can relate to this, special as i dont drive it much no more, I find that when i do drive it now I end up with a headache afterwards because im not used to droney away anymore!

 

I used the system from my old fagnex retianing the flexi and have a goose back box, looks and sounds rude

 

scorpion all day long mine sounds the dogs todger

 

Mongoose.!!!

 

i think i'll be having either a custom 3" bore like tube torque or 3" bore Mongoose, hopefully they sound as nice as im expecting prefer it if they were a little on the loud side as the cars not for everyday use anyway, but needs to be quiet enough for track days regs

 

moongoose for me thanks.good exhaust with a great sound

 

im on a mongoose, was thinking of changing it ti scorpion when it goes fooked

 

Scorpoin all the way !

 

Mongoose!

 

I had a scorpion...Was happy with that!

 

MONGOOSE

 

Was running a mongoose sounded

 

I cant speak about newer Scorpions (if they have changed recently, i might be wrong i dont know) but certainly the old scorpions ARE restrictive, you can hear it on the car when it comes on boost, it's quit noticeable if you know what to listen for. It basically sounds like air being forced through a hole smaller than it can get through fast enough, kinda sounds like a jet?


Not only can you hear it, 2.5" from turbo back down to 2" in the backbox you can see it! not exactly the best picture but you get the idea



believe it or not

 

My power and torque figure say there's no problem and my Scorpion is 2.5 years old.

 

Do you get a flexi section with anything bar Magnex?

 

i love the sound of my magnex


its pretty tame low down


but when pushed


it just sounds AWESOME

 

i've always like how a magnex sounded but just don't like how they looks on a car...back box doesn't do it for me

 

hmm, well. . . I know of a car that had 212@wheels (244ishbhp@fly) do a 13.6 quarter

What would you make of that?

 

mines a maggy,and can be peacefull when your sneaking away from your bosses wifes den,

but can rouse the bizzys when burning some super ,

back box is a big wonky donky tho,mines a 4 inner

 

My times were recorded with a huge sound system in the boot. I'm looking forward to getting it timed again now it's stripped

 

still, a full sound system wouldnt equate to a full second faster, with slightly less power

how striped do you mean it is now, full interior or just the sound system taken out?

out of interest, you still on the felpro head gasket?

 

Felpro gasket failed almost a year ago just haven't updated my sig.

The car is now stripped of everything bar the carpet and a 6 point roll cage.

I don't know what suspension setup this guy has or wheels tyres etc. There are lots of possible differences between the two cars and the conditions under which they were timed. Without lining the pair of the cars up at the same time on the same track using the same timing equipment it's all pretty irrelevant.

 

deff a Mongoose for me had a scorpion before but bloody baffles broke an it rattled like fook so had em all cut out its was pretty loud after that.

mongoose 1 has a bit of a drone on long drives but i can live with it

 

Mongoose all the way for me

Love the the sound of it rumbling when the engines idling

 

deballfed scorpion all day long for me never had any trouble with it and sounds the tits on boost pops and bangs like a gooden

Mongoose just sound so boreing all the same when on boost to
lots of pepole say its restrictive but it ant i have tryed both and no diff in it what so ever by the better sounding scorpion!!!!!

 

Thats true, but a bhp figure is pretty irelivent unless used as a comparison from X spec to adding something then doing a power run to see if it's made a difference!


Alex zvh cabrio, did you get the car on a RR to notice a difference or have it re-set up with the other exhaust on?


we'll agree to dissagree or we'll face a 10page yes it is, no it's not thread

 

i have a magnex but i would prefer the mongoose and i dont know about anyone else but my magnex tailpipe is pointing slightly to the left as i know the mongoose and scorpion actually bend back slightly to the right to finish perfectly straight

 

yes as said in other posts i have had it on rolling road and my tunners have said jack to me but what makes it flow better is if u take out the baffles which make the diff

 

my maggy jotts to the left too,so you can spray all them saxos with your wasted fumes

 

Mongoose are nice but i love my magnex it purrs when i pull off and aint ott
