I'll admit the magnex is a better fit but i tried mongoose magnex and scorpion on my old s2 and the goose released the most power.

mongoose usually the favourite amongst s2 owners, i've had scorpion and goose and mongoose better all day for me...

magnex i've never liked the sound of...and the backboxes look pants IMO

2.5" Bore Mongoose with 4" Outwardly rolled tailpipe for up to 250bhp.

The same but 3" Bore for 250+bhp.

Bet if you Mongoose owners actually bothered to measure the diameter of the pipe - you'd find it was 2.5in bore, the 3in bore will only come with a 4in inwardly rolled tailpipe - you have no choice in this

Magnex In my own opinion is the best for performance, the mongoose has the better sound and overall appeal to joe public

Given the chance, I'd have the Magnex front pipe and Mongoose fro that all the way back

I had a mongoose in the Orion in my sig, very good IMO, wasnt the best fit though (although it was on the car when i got it), used to hang very low, but that car is now dead and the engine is in my cabby, which has a Scorpion, PERFECT fit, not sure about power as i never had any readouts done, and the scorpion has 1 less joint in the system, but i do rate the Mongoose highly.

I can sort a 3" Mongoose with a 4" Tail.

the only fault i can find with the Magnex is the back box. its massive and it sits wonky which is annoying but it doesn't bother me enough to change it. It works well, lifetime warranty and IMO sounds very nice.

Back box is easy to fix if you spend some time messing baout with it

Christian, I do appologise, but so many people say they have the 3in one, sod spending over Ł450 on an exhaust if it's under 270bhp!!

FPMSL. That's because you have us running around with your 'Can you justs......'.

You're nearly as bad as Mike R!!

How dare you

I always give you loads of notice when I am coming up and tell you what I want done. I reckon I SHOULD just turn up then it won't give you time to hide the coffee because you know I don't drink tea





Power Engineering exhausts are rubbish, I heard the welds break easily

I've got a Scorpion and have no complaints at all.

My Fiesta has a Magnex although the previous owner decided a 3" tailpipe was enough. I didn't agree so my bro popped over with his angle grinder and welder and it now has a 4" tailpipe instead

Can't go far wrong with Magnex, Mongoose or Scorpion

i had a magnex was okay but sounded shite and the backbox looks nasty, replaces the sytem with a mongoose but it has no flexi and fitting wasnt as good as magnex so now ive got the mongoose backbox on magnex system best of both worlds
