What exhaust do you have fitted m8 ? Think it's only mongoose that fits right.

Hi Mark

There was a bit of blurb about the exhaust in relation to rear beams on this thread chap

https://passionford.com/forum/showth...=289487&page=2

I've heard Mongoose exhausts don't need many mods to fit?

Can you not chop a bit off the centre section (where it joins the downpipe) to move them forward a bit??

Hi mate. I have a magnex system which has been modded to suit the Ahmed beam. Its a bit of chopping about but its well worth it as they are the best exhausts imo. Here are a few pics I just snapped best I could with the car parked up in the garage just to give you a rough idea.







It all looks a bit crude but its a snug fit with no rubbing or blowing. It can be done mate. I only fitted my beam and Quaiffe diff on Friday and its being setup hopefully on Tuesday. Cant wait lol.

Cheers.

Adz.

Hi there Adam

When you say set-up do you mean the geometry? Where are you planning on taking it to have it all set up?

Cheers

Nms mate. They now have full laser alignment kit which is top notch. Im going to try the settings recomended to me by Mike Rainbum and see what its like. Its only setup by eye at the minute and already feels way better They can also modd your exhaust to mate.

Speak to Karl or Oli @ Norris motorsport on 01773 836274

Regards.

Adam.

Custom pipes in broughshane could mod your current exhaust mark, ran by a cossie man so you'll be in good hands!
