Advantages: Noise increase, performance increase, looks great
Disadvantages: none spring to mind
I've just had a free-flowing stainless steel mongoose exhaust fitted to my car, and it is amazing. Not only are the twin 4" tailpipes lovely and shiny, but so is the muffler that sits between them. The noise produced by the exhaust is outstanding compared to the stock system. Although the noise is not too intrusive during regular driving, hard acceleration produces a superb exhaust note that makes you want to rev away even more (especially in tunnels and multi-story car parks!!) Performance-wise, the free-flowing nature of the exhaust, combined with the cat-replacement pipe that is included, is excellent and acceleration through the gears is much improved, as is throttle response. The exhaust is extremely well built and is made of aircraft-quality stainless steel. It comes with a lifetime guarantee, and the place that I had it installed said that they have never had one come back, which is always a good sign. To sum up, you will not find a better exhaust for the money. Mine is fitted to a Toyota MR2 and looks the business. If you are in the market for a performance sports exhaust, you can't go wrong...

- 23/02/01 My car is actually after the year that they are required for the MOT - I just bolt the cat back on once a year!
I hate it when you see 1.3 escorts or novas full stop |

- 01/02/01 I've heard good reports of Mongoose before although a performance increase would have been gained by anything that removed the CAT, not so good for the environment though! Hope yours comes in the year before they were necessary for the MOT test!
At least you went for the whole system too; I hate when you see 1.3 escorts or novas with a fat cheap Peco or something just jammed on the end making noise & nothing else! |
