I had a mongoose. Compared to my mates scorpion, it is a lovely sound, the scorpion is a horrible drone on the motorway, and the mongoose has a nice barble on tickover.. My magnex with rear silencer (before the backbox) removed is the winner tho!! :D

the exhausts are only loud when you remove the center silencer.

Although mine's on a Mk2 XR2 which probably has less strict regulations.

My brother just done it to his RS1800, removed the silencer before the backbox.

Sounds awesome, pops on over-run and between gear changes thats without a de-cat aswell. :devil:

Bent two pieces of pipe then welded them together to form S-shape bend, then clamped to the rest of the system at either end.

I'll have to get him to put a picture, will make more sense. :lol:
