Scorpion are shite. Mongoose is the one and only exhaust for the RST.

Ive had a scorpion and a mongoose and i think Christian is totally correct.
My scorpion had average fitting and quality and knocked on the chassis at various times, the mongoose is so much better and sounds better imho

I've got one of the Power Engineering systems on my S1 made by Cheesemans.

Nothing I've ever seen looks as good or sounds as nice. And it's quiet at speed too which is the most important thing !

I've got one of those PE ones to 91db static at brands
Mongoose was 101 (at bedford though)

i love my PE one, but it got to be a bit restrictive and have been forced to have the goose on
The PE one is too nicely made to part with, so keeping hold of it

I removed the magnex system off my car a few months ago and fitted a mongoose with a 4" tailpipe, it sounds awesome compared to the magnex. magnex i think is a better fit/quality but there is a noticable performance improvment with the mongoose. I love my goose lol

i got rid of my mongoose too and fitted a 2.5 inch blueflame, sounds the tits, quality is outstanding and it fits better than ANY exhaust ive had before. havent a clue if its better for performance though but i havent felt a diff either way.
