Mongoose Exhaust For St182?

[RedT18]

Hey guys,

I'm new here and have some question.

But first let me tell you something about me:

I'm 22 years old and I live in germany. I have a 90' Celica St182.

My Question:

I'm looking for a good catback system and i have found the mongoose.

A lot of MR2s run that system, but most of them have a 3sgte and i think that there's a sound-difference between the NA and Turbo engine.

Does anyone of you have a soundfile of his mongoose catback system? i wonder about the sound.

i am afraid that a 2,5" exhaust isn't enough for a turboed engine, but there is no 3" exhaust for the St182.

Here's a link of my almost turboed 3sge. ok, it's in german and most of you wont understand what i wrote there but dont be afraid, there are a lot of pics inside and as you know: pics say more than 1000 words :D

the 182 mongoose is quiet as a mouse, it has a proper silencer, so with a turbo in there i bet you can't even hear it! i would imagine it would restrict flow too on a turbocharged car.

Is that so? I have seen some MR2 with a mongoose system and they where pretty loud...

[Dan_Q]

yeah, even the ST185 one is loud, but the 182 one isn't i'm afraid.

i've got one on my car by the way, thats how i know :)

[RedT18]

Could you make a soundclip or even a vid?

[Dan_Q]

nope.

sorry mate, don't have the gear, let alone the time!

even from the back you'd probarly only hear the intake anyway.

Seriously though I don't think it will do a turbo car any good. You can probarly get a custom exhaust built to the spec you want for not much more than retail on a mongoose.
