Mongoose Or Apexi?

[mr2nut123]

wanting to save for my first good mod. mongoose exhaust with de-cat or an apexi full induction kit for my n/a rev2? im wanting more bhp and performance so which you rekon i shud do first?

[Rookey]

As i said mate :P You know my opinion...

As your pretty tight on money...

Mongoose system as i think the standard air filter is quite good as it is for now... and just gut your cat. :)

Well I'd say induction kit first :P , considerably cheaper than an exhaust system and makes more of a noticeable difference when accelerating in my opinion.

Nope...I got a Remus. I was gona buy the goose at JAE for £300 but decided to go for the 2 bumpers instead..

[Roytoner]

Apexi first .. then a proper exhaust .. then save for a turbo ..

[Roytoner]

then save for a turbo ..

If only

Mine had a k&n filter on it when i bought it but i didnt like the sound so i changed it to a cheap cone filter as a temp measure which turned out better for power gains and had a really deap roar.

Im still to fit an exhaust but my preference would be the goose and just

gut the cat to save cash as it does the same as a de cat pipe anyway

[mr2nut123]

cheers bibbs. thinkin of doin that as the induction kits alot cheaper than the exhaust anyway and im pretty skint and insurance is due soon :( cheers for info guys

[mr2nut123]

kool rico. yeah ive been talkin with rookey about guttin the cat to save alot of dosh, think ill do that when i get the exhaust but im savin for apexi induction first also what kinda of changes has the filter done for your car? can u 'feel' the differenece when u put ur foot down and does it give extra bhp?

[ricomr2]

I defo felt a difference the first time i drove it with the new filter,

dont know about the power gain cos the car hasn't been rr'd.

The real difference is when the t-vis comes in at 5000 rpm,

it comes in like a turbo!

[Bibbs]

it comes in like a turbo!

I'm sure it doesn't :P

[ricomr2]

Well, maybe just a little one

[mr2nut123]

kool! sum people get scared to rev mr2s but the revs go up to 9000 and redline at 7000 or summat so u can go to 5000revs quite safely....just expect big petrol bills like i found out 2day when i raced an elise lol i bet it does feel like a turbo it already feels like its got a tiny turbo in it, rite machine still gives me a grin when drivin it ;)

[ricomr2]

The main thing you will notice at 5k is the noise,

it instantly gets louder :D

[Bibbs]

NA's always sound better than tubbies with a filter ..

the Turbo get's in the way of a proper gruff sound ..

[ricomr2]

Yeah but you have a turbo! and woo-tish :D

[mr2nut123]

wheres a good place that i can buy the full apexi induction kit for the 2 then? any good websites with quick delievery in uk?

[ricomr2]

Rogue sytems mate, where else... :D
