What Exhaust...?

[Barn]

Guys, got a 1.3 A pack head for my 1.4SR just wanted to know what exhaust system I should go for to match it for best performance?

[Stuart]

well to be honest an ashley manifold and system will probably do you fine, jsut needs to ahve the manifold matched to the head etc blah blah

and its quite cheap to get an ashley

[Barn]

matched in what way mate? like get the ports on the head done?
is the system mild steel or stainless...after stainless really.
what kind of price is it? am I gunna have to get ports matched on most systems or just the ashley one?

does someone like magnex do systems for 1.3 head? I'm sure I have only seen them for GSi' s...

what are mongoose like?

well, theres a few questions there, lol

pm jules, hes got a mongoose and raves about it
i wouldnt know, only got a backbox

[Neil.]

I've got a ashly 4-2-1 manifold for my 2ltr 8v, fitted on fine, waiting to see if it's made any difference. Corsanova-mark had an ashly system, best to PM him.

Cheers lads

I wish I did have a Mongoose, I had one on my old 1.6T40 and I loved it to bits, I have a PowerBlow on my GSi and I hate it with a passion.

I'm not sure that Mongoose will give any more power increases than other makes like Magnex or Scorpion but for the look, build quailty, fit and sound (imo) they can't be beaten.

[Barn]

how much you pay for it mate?

can you get mongoose systems for 1.3 head?

[Barn]

[Barn]

[Ste_Nova]

is it mild steel steve?

have you got a number?

cheers mate

yup mild... but it's thick so won't rust through for ages... i painted the backbox with hi temp paint anyway cause thats allways the first bit to suffer

ashley are even cheaper when u know the owner :lol: thats how i got mine they will do me a full system for ?80.

[Barn]

will they two for you (one for me) @ ?80 ?

[Jules]

Sorry Barney - been busy fixing up the GSi.

My Mongoose was a 1.3 one that I had on before I ffitted the 1.6 engine so yes they do a fitment for the 1.3

I can't remember how much it cost me tbh as it was a fair few years ago - I think it was somewhere around the ?250 mark but it is full stainless stell so it should last longer than the car!! :lol:
Go to the Collins Performance / Mongoose website and see if they have a price / application chart:

will let you know guys :D

cheers for the help (so far)

steve
got a pic of the tailpipe end mate ??
i presume if i bought just the system it would fit onto the original manifold

[Ste_Nova]

i think it's designed to fit a 1.3/4downpipe... but they do a 1.6 one aswell.. i forget which way they bend

tailpipe is mk1 style

cheers mate
yeah my manifold joint is the same as the one in the actual exhaust pic - ie straight towards the rear.
the baffles have gone on my exhaust so i could do with something else
that seems like a good no frills system

[Ste_Nova]

nice... i've cut and rewelded mine so it exits ala mk2 8)
