chrislich Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Right i'm looking at one of these. Want pretty standard look without massive noise just something a bit different and grunt when its pushed. I've tried to listen to clips on youtube but the only 1 of the scorpion and that sounds quite nice but just standing still. when listening to the cobra and some points it sounds a bit 'tinny' and almost M3 sound, is that right or just video distorsion? I def don't want that sound. If anyone can shed any more light on the scorpion that would be good. Also if there are rolled tips available for the Scorpion.

MITZ@CougarStore Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Scorpion only have the one tip option despite us asking them to offer a rolled option, the Cobra has a choice of tips. The Scorpion system is quieter than the Cobra but still a little louder than the OE system, both systems available on our site too...

gumpy000 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I have the Cobra NON-RESONATED. which sounds Awesome. but at higher revs, does sound like my mates M3 a little. But I am lead to believe the RESONATED ones dont have this affect. Others on here will soon tell u if im wrong! cobra I like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmck13 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Ive have a scorpion box with berks hi flo cats combined with a stillen y pipe and finished of with vortech v3 supercharger. Sound is aggressive when it needs to be without pedestrians saying what the **** is that and it passes track rules on the decibel rating. Personally I like the scorpion, fitted now 4 years no problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Nut Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The backbox and pipework on the Cobra dont look the best , the backbox just looks wrong under the bumper , the scorpions box looks better however the tips let it down. Scorpion wont even entertain offering Rolled tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I have a cobra resonated which was fitted by Mitz at cougar store. Great noise, not too loud but enough to warrant letting people know you're there lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I had a Scorpion on the Zed when I bought it, added HFCs and it was a great blend of quiet when pootling and fun when hooning, some rasp. The cobra resonated I have now is a step up in terms of pootling volume, it's never really what I would call quiet, it's deep and rumblier and it alerts people to your arrival Love it. I didn't mind the jap slash tips on the scorpion one bit, but the rolled tips of the cobra look nice and meaty and sit nicely out from the bumper. I have a diffuser so can't comment on what the rear box itself looks like from behind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT350 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I have Scorpion on my TTZ with TDI north decats and sounds well. Not overly loud. To my ears anyway lol. I'm sure my village thinks differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 cobra resonated for me!, sounds ruddy lovely just on its own. must do mod for a zed. sounded just glorious. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan350Z Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Bought my Cobra (resonated) catback from Mitz, excellent service and advice, can't recommend strongly enough. Here it is with stock cats: Cold Start In cabin with a gentle push Never heard a Scorpian but extremely happy with the Cobra for it's balance of deep hum, rasp-free and mental-yet-sophisticated-when-pushed tones! Was going to go for Buddy Club but was warned off it's ridiculous volume that gets quickly irritating.

davetstan Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I had a scorpion from Mitz on my 350 and it sounded great. If it sounds as good on the 370 you can't go far wrong. I will be looking to get an exhaust soon also so will be interested to see which way you go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrislich Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 I'm nearly siding with scorpion because of the sound I've heard but the tups are a small sticking point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 on the other hand, the cobra tips do stick out a bit... ideally need to be adjusted so they sit back about an inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstraw Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hmm I'm now also considering scorpion since I've got hfc and don't want an overly loud exhaust but want performance benefits. Scorpions are meant to be very well priced too I believe? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrE004 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I've got a Resonated Cobra at the moment bought from CS. Sounds fantastic, not too obscene, which was important for me as I leave for work before 5am and didn't want to keep waking the neighbours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zroadsterGT Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I've lived with my unresonated cobra (from cs) for a week now and don't know why I didn't put it on 7 years ago when I got the car. None of the sound clips online really give you what its really like. If you get the chance meet some local owners and listen to them in the flesh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrislich Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Are there any local 370 owners to brum/staffs area that have either scorpion or cobra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g60luke Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If you go for a Cobra get a resonated one. I thought my old non res Cobra had a tinny sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
