Mongoose exhaust? Bearable daily?

Post by MR2Kyle »

Just wondering if the mongoose exhaust is ok as a daily and that it's not a bit of fun for a few weeks and then gets unbearable as many exhaust these days get like that... (mostly found on civics #-o )

The Mongoose on the Mk1 is very civilised, one of my favourite of all the exhausts I've owned.

It does make a bit of noise when you get the revs up but nothing too raucous. :D

the MK1 Magnex & Mongoose are pretty much the same to look at and in sound. I have a Magnex and it's very civilised, same as LimeyMk1's description of the Mongoose 8)

Magnex no longer exists as an independent firm

They were taken over by Mongoose, who now sell both

I have a Magnex. Am very happy with it :thumleft:

I run a mongoose. Civilised is a perfect term for what it is. Perfecly bearable for DD, long journeys, whatever.
