All,
seen as i cant find a 2nd hand mongoose anywhere im thinking of stumping up and buying new
- got a rev5 that exhaust is blowing but cant make mind up on which tail to go for
as it stands

- if you have one can you post it up
Thanks

I like the rolled tips
Just look abit more finished off for me
But i've just had my rev5 exhaust welded up on the leaky flanges
(no adult remarks please

Rolled tips all the way
- I'm having a similar dilemma to yourself currently.
I really like the more subtle look.

Yes they are.
I'm still considering either one of these or a blueflame.
I've heard they sound better, but the tips are angled out and they look a bit naff IMO.

i had a 200cel blueflame cat on my old CUpra R and it never passed emissions it was a nightmare.
Can get a new OE cat for approx 130 on exchange
