Magnex, Scorpion or Mongoose.

A lot of people say the Scorpion is restrictive but I'm not convinced as my power and torque goes to show

r-s-turbo, lovely car mate, but youll get raped when a mod sees that sig. Theyre meant to be less than 25k, yours is 200. Just a heads up.

Put a stainless on you won't regret it. Most companies do a 3" tailpipe if you're worried about a 4" being OTT

There has been a test with rolling road in a late 90's FastFord with 5 or more different exhaust systems on a mild modified RSTurbo. Maybe I can find the article somewhere

Just remember if you plan to do trackdays that the exhaust needs to be below 98 Db's generally.Thats why I like my Magnex,that and the build quality.Agree the rolled end of the exhast tip looks bad,but hey its a small bad point.Regards Micky

Scorpion:

2.5" - 2" in backbox (smaller than std) - whatever size tailpipe - now tell me that's not restrictive!

although, im led to believe the NEWER scorpions dont have this flaw. .


Mongoose or magnex
