Will changing the exhaust on my s2 from a Mongoose to a Magnex affect the tuning side of things , i.e start running leaner /richer etc...

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Ken

 

shouldnt really change its not like your going from a standard one
to magnex ive got a magnex nice exhaust fits well bit quite but the quailty
is much better than the mongoose dont drop out of place every 2 mins
well did untill i weilded the dam thing up soild didnt move much then

 

Cheers mate, thats what i thought just needed someone to confirm it , im switching to the magnex for a quiter life , the goose does sound great and on fast roads its fine but living in the centre of London i just sit in traffic all the time and the noise is too much

 

i got a mongoose and think its shit gona get a magnex 2

 

i have a magnex but have hears the mongoose are alot better ????

 

nuthin between them really imo, mongoose if you want noise, magnex if you dont.

wont affect the tuning at all

 

Mongoose is the dogs.

 

big power rst's run mongoose coz you get them in a 3" bore compared to others 2.5" bore

 

So could this swap affect me power a bit then as the car is between 230-240 bhp

 

no because ive got the 2 inch and the 4 inch i think its the noise that makes you think you going quicker than you the as for the mongoose its a pain it always drops down and rattles on the under side of the car magnex is the way forward

 

mongoose are the only ones who do the 3" bore for an rs turbo
its less restrictive on the turbo
i'd go mongoose m8 but there nearly £500

 

As i put mate iv already got the goose , good to know they cost a bit though for when i sell it , gotta switch too loud for an old fart like me

 

is it a 3" or 2.5" bore(not tailpipe)
as the 3"bore come with 4" rolled in like the magnex and has a much more throaty note than the 2.5" bore
yours will most certaimnly be a 2.5" bore

 

is it a 3" or 2.5" bore(not tailpipe)
as the 3"bore come with 4" rolled in like the magnex and has a much more throaty note than the 2.5" bore
yours will most certainly be a 2.5" bore

 

Not too sure mate , it does however have a 4" rolled out tailpipe though . The car is running a stg 3 Turbo with a .48 exhaust housing which is also a bit of a drag in London traffic ..i make up for it though when i head down to kent to see the folks

 

its a 2.5" then if its rolled out,only do 3" in rolled in

 

So did magnex ever do a 3" bore version as the one im gonna be putting on was bought in 1999 and i could swear that its gotta a bigger bore size than the goose

 

no only mongoose do the 3" bore
