Scorpion

[jamakalbi]

my k1 would be ok for weekend use but day to day / motorway use is not going down well

 

not just this but the pipe vibrating against the subframe is really doing my nut in, making it feel cheap to drive

 

i am saving for skirts and lip at mo so dont wanna go balls out on a 5zigen / nismo yet

 

seen quite a few people with scorpions on here and thinking about chopping in the k1 and switching

 

what are they like over 3k revs??

 

also any fitting issues????

When I had my K1 fitted, I had a minor weld done to stop it vibrating on subframe - apparently it makes a huge difference

Mine came with a Scorpion, at low revs you don't really feel it but over the 4K sound lovely, lots of clips on youtube but before purchasing I would check it out in the flash

bet it does - its a joke at the moment

 

annoying cos the noise on accelarating i love but the 2-3k rev drone every day is at the end of the rd

Take it to a decent exhaust centre or mechanic and they will sort out the vibrations for you - I think I paid £50 for fitting, including the weld - sounds great now - however it will always be loud (without vibrations) so if you dont like noise try another

I like the sound of mine, but a few people complain it doesn't sit right... personally I can cope with this!

K1 is renound for being a cr@p piece of kit. Scorpions are ok at the budget end, I think they had some production line issues a while back but these have been ironed out.

 

Mine fitted perfectly and 10000 miles on, it doesnt miss a beat despite being on and off a few times. No vibrations or catching on subframe etc

 

Only thing I didnt like was the tailpipes as they are slash cut, so I swapped them

I love my Scorpion.... Not very loud but noticeable when giving high revs. The K1 would do my head in... A lot of people on here are selling them on as they are just too much for most people.

 

Some people like them though

I just go a scorpion fitted last week with the japspeed y pipe. Love it, sounds nice and not too loud. Not keen on the tail pipes either though,,, my old JDM ones stuck out more and looked good all shiney....

Sorry - just catching up with this thread. What did you mean when you said you swapped them - did you fit the original tail pipes from the OEM exhaust on the new pipes?

[shieldsie]

Love my Scorpion, and also the cut pipes I like the stealthness of the cuts. Doesnt stick out like chav boys like them

[bodyboarder]

Can someone put i pic up of the scorpion with the bumper tuck?

[bodyboarder]

Come on .... someone must have a pic!

If you want something that sounds like a scorpion but has the look of stock why don't you try a K2? mine sounds great over the 3.5/4k and looks totally stock.

You should consider a Blueflame Performance exhaust too. About £500 including a new Y-Pipe. I'm very pleased with mine and the person I bought it off had got it to replace their Scorpion exhaust as that thought that was a bit rapsy. I haven't heard a Scorpion one myself though so can't comment on that.
