Hi Peeps


I finaly took the Mongoose exhaust off the Cossy and fitted a brand new Magnex exhaust

I can't belive how quite the exhaust is i am quite shocked to be honest


why didn't i buy one yrs ago probably would have passed track days with out wny agro


fair play to Brom gave us a hand fitting it we had to overcome a few problems fitting it

basically i have a clubmans grp a reinforced beam which has the exhaust mounts on top of the beam where the front of the diff sits the also mounting points for a diff gaurd

this beam doesn't have the side exhaust mounting points so we had to weld the mounting points on to hold the exhaust was abit of a mission working under jacks and axle stands about a foot of the ground



the ramp wasn't free, but we got there in the end

Brom also sorted out my front Bilsteins for the Rs2000 he welded on the anti rollbar holders for the drop links

so thanks for all the help yesterday Brom top man

top man

nosie is for the boys my whole car seems alot quiter seems even smoother

should be ideal for track days for me i'm well impressed with it

my mongoose was 107 db it was a twin box system aswell

i think it was probably burnt out and too loud

what did you do with your old magnex ?

....mongoose systems are meant to have bigger baffles so they flow better....right/wrong.....i know two lads that have changed from one to the other

Hi Mate

ill tell you a little story ... on harvys gibbs is dyno he tested all these 3 exhaust mongoose/scropion/magnex and the magnex had the best flow because it was less retrictive and made slightly better bhp figure

if your exhaust sounds loud you think you are going faster but your not

it's like any car that is quite when your doing 90/100 mph on the motorway it's seems that your only doing 60mph because it's so quite if you go in a loud car when doing 90/100mph you know you are doing it

the Scorpion/Mongoose are 3" system all the way through

the magnex isn't it 3" from the turbo ,then it branches into 2 x 2.25" (total 4.5" under car) pipes then back into 3" just passed the diff .

Best mod I ever did to my Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 was the Magnex
The constant annoying drone from a Micky Mouse system fitted really pissed me off A YB with a loud exhaust sounds flat as a fart anyway, why broadcast it?

you coming to donno on the 29th?

Hi,

i always thought the mongoose was the best for BHP, and scorpion (due to the restrictors in the silencers, 2" baffles) was the worse. and magnex was the best alround.

but 2x 2.25 (54mm inside diameter) tubes will flow the same a 3.1" tube ( 76mm inside diameter)

2.25, 54mm inside = 22.9 cc per 10mm, = 45.8cc/10mm for two.
3", 73mm inside = 41.9cc/10mm
3.1, 76mm inside = 45.4cc/10mm

and some extra's,

2", 48mm inside = 18.1cc/10mm
2.5", 60.5mm inside = 28.8cc/10mm
3.5", 86mm inside = 58.1cc/10mm
4", 98.5mm inside = 72.2cc/10mm





But the important size is more down to the down pipe, as thats where most the heat is, so the exhaust flow is greater.

Sticky.

Hi Dan

i always thought the same, thats why i bought a mongoose

harvy did tell me to put a magnex on it yrs ago and told me that he had done tests and proved that they were the best on the markek mainstream

alot of peeps wont go for the magnex because they are too quite and dont sound man enough for them

I wish i put it on the car yrs ago

all you need is 3 boxes (rebaffle them) and it will be quite

i always used to read big power spec cars, ie Martins 1st escos, and some 600 bhp norwiegen (sp) and they always had a mongoose.
