I'm sorry, but I beg to differ than a 'Goose sounds better than a Scorp'!!
Matter of taste I s'pose.

Cool

Just had a mongoose ss 4" fitted to my sti5typeR, sounds great! I had a scorpion 4" on my old car (wrx) and it sounded ok, but this sounds tuneful AND loud! I would recommend it to any1 thinking of upgrading their exhaust. Who needs ice!

If I was using my car just for track days then i would say that a 4" system would be ok. But as i use my car everyday and live in a quite area, a nosiey (loud) exhaust system would not be advised.

At the end of the day i think its the tone of the exhaust your after, not loudness.

THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION!

Have to agree with Stef on this one, the Scorpion downpie is the most tuneful iv`e heard, specially when matched to a Scoobysport backbox

Plus mongoose has poor downpipe design that is like OE spec - just without a CAT - poor compared to the twin dump systems that are not too much dearer

BPM seems to be the way to go for both performance and noise - I have not heard a nicer system - and I have now heard Blitz and HKS, et al. They dont compete. As far as Scorpion goes - well lets leave this rubbish to the RS brigade!

well i'm just giving my opinion from the different systems i've heard. As for the scorpion, i know what im talking about because i had one on my old car, a 94 wrx, for two and a half years, i am not basing my opinion on 5 mins in mcdonalds on a wet sat night full of donuting novas with peco back boxes and peroxide bimbos!

As regarding HKS systems, there is a point at which the noise from a scooby can sound OTT, although louder than a mongoose i dont think it sounds better. Also how much is a full HKS system and is it really worth the big difference in price? in my opinion, no.
