Anybody know how much louder a mongoose exhaust is without the centre silencer?? I realise its a hard question to answer as one persons idea of loud is different to anothers.

I currently have a Scorpion 3" with 4" tailpipe and centre silencer, but fancy a mongoose with 3.5" tailpipe. I see you can get them with the centre silencer removed, but dont want it if its gonna blow my eardrums into space.

 

it will be too loud IMO, i dont like em with the centre box removed, even cruising is too loud

i had a magnex system on mine and grafted on a mongoose back box as i prefer the tail pipe

 

i hav a full power flow 1 box system 3" form turbo to back box and 4" outward rolled, and tbth it aint that loan unless ur really hammering it, just crusing at 50/60mph is just a nice little note u get from it,

 

a have a mongoose 1 box and its not to bad ma old evo with blitz nurf spec was worse

 

Here's a little clip of mine taken last year with a scorpion system with the centre removed

Hmmmmm that's loud, but I like it.

 

You only want a loud exhaust so you cant hear all the rattles. LOL

 

love the sound of that!

 

mine has the same exhaust, scorpion with the centre section removed on a GT30 at 30psi sounds awesome, loving the 3dr.

 

Thanks for posting this clip, something I've been considering just for ground clearance, not any more though, way OTT imo, I won't be doing it, not for me.
tabetha

 

Lol, it is loud on boost but cruising etc isn't really an issue.

Saying that I only do circa 1000 miles a year in it so it has high novelty value

 

Luke, i heard (and this maybe be PC TALK) that the Scorpion system is restrictive above 400bhp??

 

I hope not pete oh well, it'll be just the excuse I need to get that side exit

 

 

TWIN side exit for sale soon, not mine btw.

 

I have simular setup with 3" system, scorpion 4" backbox with center taken out also.. not sure with everyone else but on tickover and just pulling away you get a real nice spool noise from the rear.. sounds nice as said when not booting it its not that bad..

 

Think im looking to go down the blueflame route. I like the way the sections bolt together with flanges rather than push fit.

 

you will love them until the flanges all get twatted on every spped bump you go over lol
and i once fitted a blue flame to a customers car and had to reweld every weld due to blows coming from the start and finishing points of every weld
get a mongoose they are money well spent mate

 

a mate of mine took his out on a moongoose and it sounded the tits but yes its loud...

but mine it gt35 with screamer pipe and thats louder with the centre box still in...

 

sounds great

 

My mongoose is much louder since fitting the T38.

 

i have a mongoose, was silent with the center box, so removed it, and now its still fairly quiet when cruising, but makes a good noise on boost.

 

centerbox+ backbox and external wg with screamer IMO, quiet while driving sensibly and no attraction from the law, but while when on boost sounds like a angry honey badger

 

My mongoose is 94db on idle iirc and at 4000rpm its 104-106db so its pretty loud thats with the center box in

 

Anyone have more video clips of Cosworths with centre box removed, preferably Mongoose ones? I'd like to hear what they are like when driving on motorway or filmed from outside when driving normally. The centre box is destroying my ground clearance so I'm toying with the idea of removing it. I'm not bothered if it gets somewhat louder as car is not daily, but I don't want it to sound like a freight train that's why I'd like see some videos first.

 

The problem is with all the various Cosworth systems the centre silencer is too round and too big. I had an oval one custom made at a specialist exhaust place and it works fine , no ground clearance problems, Mongoose back silencer so still quite loud. I think it would be to loud without a centre box.

 

Its true Pete baffles are 2" on the scorpions 3"on the goose. I have had both.

 

On my Escos the mongoose systems middle box had been removed and it was very loud and boomy when cruising,just had box put in and its perfect now.
