Magnex, Scorpion all are good, but the most popular is Mongoose, and i must admit they do perform well.

Im Pretty sure he means the Mongoose, they have no restriction on them either, which has made a lot of engines get the fumes out quicker.

Mongoose always wins this vote, restriction-wise and sound-wise.

I thought the Magnex 4'' had a lovely bubbling sound on tick-over though? :Q

Is their any back pressure problems to consider; eg. loss of torque? As if the Powerflow is the most free flowing (bigger bore) then the back pressure with be lower. I know this meant a loss of torque at low speeds in my Clio 1.8 16v but what about the FRST? CheeRS

I myself used magnex. A friend of mine used Mongoose..

The mongoose downpipe is curved a bit strange.. and it hit the speedbumps even though the car wasn't lowered (the downpipe goes down.. lower then the subframe .. and then up agian).. whilst my 4cm is lowered.. the downpipe never hits the speedbump. (my downpipe is curved sideways to prevent it from hanging under the subframe)


sound.. both pretty nice..
shine .. both pretty nice
fitting.. both pretty nice

so .. ehhm that's the only comment..

ok .. the magnex zorst will only have 'just' a 76mm endpiece. whilst the mongoose has several choices
