amit Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hello, I've just purchased a Scorpian exhaust from Phil@ESR. I'm looking for a fitter near Bracknell, Berkshire. Can anyone recommend anyone? Thanks, Amit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hi bud and welcome to the forum. Stick a post up in the intro section telling us a bit about yourself. Good purchase by the way, someone local will be along soon but TBH anyone decent will be able to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Depneding if you Zed is a import or how old of a u.k car it is, might be a doddle to do your self ! And Welcome to the club, got my scorpion fitted @ ESR, sounds nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amit Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Cheers guys! I've got a UK 04 Zed. Not sure I would trust myself with anything under the car. I should be getting the exhuast in the next few days so will see what the local garages make of the fit. I may not be here for long as I may need something with a few more seats than two. :-( Thanks, Amit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
From A to Zed Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hi Amit, I bought my Scorpion a few weeks back, my Z is a 53 plate uk car. I took mine to a local tyre/exhaust centre, they had in on in 20 minutes and complimented the quality of the fit. If you're not confident save yourself the hassle! I hope it works out, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriank Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Personally i always use TGM in Fleet for all this sort of work, really nice guys and always do a top job fitting anything. If your interested give him a call TOM @ TGM - 01252 811972 hope that helps mate, quite close to you in bracknell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amit Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thanks all for the tips. I just got it installed today and used the local Humpries Tyre and Exhaust garage. It cost me 50 quid and took them about 40 mins to fit. Sounds great and I guess it will get better after a few hundred miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had mine on now from sunderland to essex, not been out in the zed since really, but looking forward to once its been run in, is a good sounding exhaust for the money, when cruising at 70mph, sounds pretty much oem, a tad louder, but when you put a bundle of revs into it, it n half open up and sounds , enjoy it mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were free so they could have come from a Kia and I wouldn't have cared. Oh, chances you will have to replace the bolts if the car is more than a year or two old.
