What exactly was wrong with the Magnex in your case? Never had a problem with mine and I've had a couple.

JimmyFlo

i have a magnex. sounds the nuts and im runnin 136bhp with just the exhaust and piperx and the engine has done 94k so thats not bad. only problem is it scrapes nearly all the speed humps and my caris standard ride height.

james_birch

JamboRS

turbo.jon

turbo stealth

wasnt fitted right
hardly mate i built the car my self so i dont think it was fitted incorrectly,and yes your right they sound dog #### when you nail it .
O well looks like its mongoose or si's woodford one

james_birch

just saying it shouldnt whistle ...must have just had a bad one!......why not try sumit diff like piper or get the system from mong,mag or scorp and try a uni box!..

I have a S2 with a 3 inch tail pipe magnex exhaust system and i can honestly say the sound crap as in crap. I get a nasty whistling noise when i nail it which people think that the back wheels are wheel spinning and would 100% think mongoose are the best systems. I also have a flexi pipe in my magnex system which sounds nasty at around 3000rpm in neutral. Scorpion would have to be next best

I have a scorpion and it sounds far better than my mates mongoose. It also fits better - his tailpipe dosen't exit the rear bumper quite right, mine sits perfect.

Had a scorpion but Ahmed said it was restricting the engine,so went to Haywood and Scott and got one made with large internals ,sounds wicked,Haywood and Scott made the exhausts for the rs200s.

the1gazza

got a 4" scorpion sounds the nuts and flows wicked! but then the baffles aint in it no more!

ProjectBobcat

i run a scorpion system and have no complaints about it.

mattbibs

having experience with all 3....

i thought the scorpion has poor build quality & heard also heard they are too restrictive.

have a 4" mongoose on mine & its perfect apart from the fact you need major ICE to drown it out on motorway driving!!

the 3" magnex on the S2 sounds the nuts on full boost & can also idle nice and quiet when you want it to.

depends what your after - i chose mongoose cos i thought it was the best all rounder at the time!

ProjectBobcat

matt, what would you say the noise was like on a scorpion in comparison to the mongoose. ive only run a scorpion and a standard zorst so i have no idea.

turbo stealth

in my experience of hearing them both the mongoose always sounds more deeper and beefier ,but scorpion also do sound the tits

scort

I have a mongoose,

Here is a vid to show you what the noise is like:

Clicky!

Taken at the Ford Fair.

A little bit noisy to be honest. However very free flowing, and well made.

mattbibs

using crap descriptive words ....

i would say the scorpion is more raspy and the mongoose is more of a deep boom if you know what i mean!

but - ive heard the escort with the scorpion on from about 3 miles away on a quiet day - so that definitely travels! cant say the same for my mongoose!

JesseT

I like my Magnex for the very sake of silence. Below 3000rpm the car is totally silent and perfect for everyday use. Then suddenly on high revs it becomes very "raspy". It never has a deep sound if that is what you're after.

james_birch

wouldnt say its silent!....my other half can hear me from the end of the road!...and i gotta say magnex do sound good when fully open!...but never been out of me car to hear it!

mattbibs

let a mate drive it down the street then! nothing more rewarding than seeing and hearing your own car drive past you! i love seeing mine fly past!

ProjectBobcat

with my mates id think 'yeah that sounds great, ok gettting a bit quiet now, i now cant hear it, uhoh think its been stolen'

james_birch

aint that the truth!

akito-man

magnex sounds kwl,,,but me R1 + micron race pipe on full outa-me-way chat is unbelievable.

murfs frst

i have a mongoose and it sounds the nuts on tick over and when on boost
goose all the way

K3V HA

I love the magnex ive got on, tis a nice subtle 3" one and is quiet at low revs! Although at the min the flexi's got a great hole in and its loud as fcuk!! PMSL!!

I would like to change the back box though, as i love the look of the 3.5" outwardly rolled!!

Sheldy

The 4" Mongoose is defo the way to go as it sounds loads better than the 3" magnex i have on my other car.

akito-man

magnex rule

1.9 xr2 on 40's

i love scorpians

never liked magnexs and had a few mongoose pipes and really i rate em same as scorpian but the scorp have the cool logo on the tail and written round the box so gets my vote

i would have thought you would know best tho rob, uve had more pipes on ur car that any1 i can think of (so im told)

go mad and get a 1 off mirror finish fully tig welded pipe, your car deserves it

s1rscustom

mongoose everytime

chummer

my mongoose sounds wicked

JamboRS

for looks scorpion comes tops but mongoose and magnex are better exhausts,scorpion backbox is very restrictive,no better than standard.get a mongoose 3"bore with a 4" rolled out tailpipe sorted

AKRS1

3" bore will scrape on speed humps best to stick to 2.5" bore although 3" is better

every one says scorpion has poor build quality they are too restrictive what crap has any one done any back to back testing on a r/r. no they have not they just talk the same as every one elsa. best way to de resticked a zorst is to take the baffles out and i have done it on all the zorst u can. scops mongoose and magnex the worst one is magnex because it is thesize of the back box it is so small and sqaure,an other good zorst is the powers eng zorst very under rated one there but is very quite but well made. i would go with the scorpion every time because its so loud on me car i have had mongoose on mine but just did not sounded not all that.both scorpion and mongose have the same bore size on rst if u go cossie the mongoose is bigger and better and bore size is much bigger
