   dont know too much about these but to me seems quite a bit of money but it is mongoos so im guesing that is why....but spose the quality of it will make it worth it ,if u were to buy it defo go for the de-cat pipe as an extra...makes nice diffrence sound wise

    I have a Mongoose system on my fiesta zetec, 1.25 and a cheap manfiold from ebay :gay: It was very respy with the manifold on but not so raspy without it.

    Indeed. Probably the best built exhaust you will get for any Cosworth. I'm pretty sure Leeroy said he had one on his S as well and raves about the build quality, sound, performance etc

    Fitted perfect, excellent quality and the sound was amazing, sounded like it was ripping the tarmac apart when you gave it some.....
    
    Well worth buying tbh
    
    They dont make many for French cars manily fords and VAG cars tbh

    i know part of a cult i dont like, been in to many. to essex for me. never really been impressed with mint std ones, felt slow, and huge power ones have usually had probs.
    
    the zetec/cvh is it conversion is interesting, seen a few tasty 2.1s

    mate of mine had a mint rs2. sold it to some dickhead who took the wheels off and left it on its belly in a field for 6months, it rotted badly so then it was hello mr fibregash and bodykits
