HEADPHONES Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I'm considering one of these as they appear to be almost identical to the OEM tips. Invidia and Cobra tips look alot shorter than OEM despite being available with rolled tips. But all I have seen are the standalone exhausts. Would appreciate if any members have one, of they could post up pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Don't bother repairing it, definitely just replace. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332538719034 Edited July 10, 2020 by davey_83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Cheers ^ You got a good memory to pull that up. Looks good. Gonna PM Andre D to see if he's got any more side profile pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Mainly wanted to retain the length of the tips. Just love the proportions of the OEM ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr v6 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Maybe if you can find a decent used branded one on ebay (if you were to go down that route), then take it & your Z to an exhaust place for them to fit, plus you'll get the choice of many tips, so you'll be able to get as close to OEM as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 My local Longlife exhaust centre can supply Scorpion. I'll head down and see what they think to the condition of my old one. If they think it's got alot of life left I may get the flange and flexis repaired. If not I'm ordering the Scorpion. Any drone at motorway speeds like the Cobras Andre D?

HEADPHONES Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Ordered the Scorpion exhaust and Y pipe. Gone for rolled tips. £740 incl fitting at my local Scorpion dealer. The Y pipe is on back order so won't arrive until October. Thanks again Andre D for all your replies.

davey_83 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 You've done bladdy well to last with the factory exhaust, the noise of the VQ comes alive with an aftermarket exhaust - you'll love it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 After placing my order 17th August, my Scorpion cat back exhaust has arrived at my local Scorpion dealer But they are still waiting for the Y-pipe to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Got this finally fitted today by my local Scorpion dealer Topgear Motorsport in Stockport. Great friendly guys. 45 mins and the job was done. At first I was a little worried the tailpipes weren't as mirror finished as my old OEM one, but got home.....a little metal polish and it was OEM shiny. The tailpipes are about 1cm wider than OEM making it a little easier to clean inside the pipes. Sit about 1/2cm closer to the bumper but still leaving clearance to get a cleaning/polishing cloth over the top between bumper and pipe. Follow the same profile as OEM when viewed from the side and above. All in all perfect firmer and finish from Scorpion with a lifetime warranty to boot. No drone when cruising home at 40, 50, 60 or 70. In fact barely noticeable when just steady cruising making it easy to enjoy some tunes. Tickle the throttle a bit to accelerate and there's a bit more rumble than stock which is nice. However mine was leaking at the backbox flange for months so I may have a distorted memory of stock. Why it took Scorpion so long to offer rolled tips I'll never know as not everyone is a fan of the slash cut ones originally offered. Some pics at last..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's members like ilogical and davey_83 who are in a next level of clean if you enjoy reading of detailing exploits. Many more that I haven't mentioned (not meaning to leave anyone out) that I can't remember off the top of my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
