Mongoose no question, sounds pukka, and is by far the least restrictive off the shelf exhaust.
Magnex sound nice, but are too quiet for my liking, and Scorpion are restrictive so thats no good. :)

I'd say a Scorpion for the best sound. Although they are supposidly restictive?

It means they don't allow the gases to flow as freely, so you will lose power due to the resistance you get against the engine's free breathing. It's a bit like someone sticking a sock over your mouth when you're trying to breath out! You have to work to push the air out instead of it flowing out freely.

Magnex FRST exhausts are just as restrictive as the Scorpions, if not more so, which is one reason they are so quiet, due to their bore size.

Mongoose seem to be the best free-flowing exhausts going purely on bore size.

Why are these not road legal??? Is it down to volume??? I need an exhaust thats going to p!$$ the neighbours off. If this is a very loud exhaust does anyone have any contact details?
Thanks

Dont try Powerflow......they are not very good.

I have had :

Std .... fell to bits
Supersprint .... rusted to bits
Powerflow .... restritive and not very good

now:

Mongoose .... unrestrictive and is made very well

Go for Mongoose, u wont regret it. Oh! and order some poly exhaust bushes at the same time ;)
