Default Mongoose Exhaust

I want to change the backbox to rolled out but Im having real trouble finding a 3" Bore 4" Rolled out back box for my mongoose system, Most places ive rang said they had none instock, and a couple said that Mongoose stopped making them due to no one buying the 3" Bore system
Anyone got one for sale or know of anywere that does?

As plynchy says! get a new tail piece and swap them over. My cossie has a magnex but i think rolled in is gay so i got a new rolled out pipe and got some one to chop off the old one and weld on the new

You sure you need a 3 inch system. I've heard they are more hassle than ther're worth [scraping and knocking on the body underside] unless your running BIG power

dont go 3 inch. and not only that depends on how mutch the car is lowered, mine was 40mm, and I had have to excaust built and shaped to go round the wishbones, and so it stuck out straight at the back not to one side like alot do. 3 inch is to big

I have a full Scorpion system for sale for £140, a back box will cost you that if you find one, it sounds a load better than Mongoose too.

Blue Flame Exhausts were the manufacturer of the Mongoose brand. Collins Performance only sold them.

They will make you up a special to fit - and fit it if required.

The Saff doesn't get out much mate.

Where do you work? I go to/from work at 6am/7pm so doubt it's my FRS.

Cleveland group mate, just had a meet tonight, tends to get quieter over the winter, next one is Nov 12th. Let me know if you fancy a run over and i'll pass on the details. Several members on here, Righthooker, The Youth, Jacko, Dicko & Sarah, beefy etc etc.

Can't really think of anything.

Spare turbo/engine would be nice...

Can you find out the build no. for me? It's on a small alloy "button" on the centre console.

If the alloys happen to fall off.....

Weird what can happen in an impact....


Have the front calipers and fog lamps fallen off too?

Wouldn't mind a look at this just out of curiosity, might call in tomorrow.

I think the brakes must have been ripped off in the accident becouse they aint there, or the owner had his mits on it first so I reckon hes got them. The bumpers in bits inside the car, dont know if they will be anything left intact that was on the front of the car
I want the seats but the insurance bloke might notice them missing

Think the assessor might ask a few questions if the fookin brakes are missing!! Like "how did the car stop?"

Do you work in the front workshop purple?
