Question whats the best aftermarket exhaust for the fiesta RST? (t2)
at the moment i have a scorpion exhaust, straight through system untill the backbox, no middle boxes or nothing (its on a t2), it wakes the entire street up and is way too loud , it failed the MOT once at ford due to the noise emmisions!

looking for a 4 inch backbox system that gives a nice turbo whistle sound and is just a nice sounding system that will make people turn heads but not blow there ear drums to pieces

any videos of sound would be good!

Quietest that still does the job is Magnex IMO. I'd always get a mongoose though

mongoose will be as loud as the scorpion, as said magnex is best for low noise & power.
