danZman Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Is there any difference? They look exactly the same. I dont want to replace my mid pipe, I just want a nice sounding backbox, which one should I hold out for? Quote
maxi-glasgow Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I don't think they look the same at all. The K2 looks a bit more like standard than the Scorpion. Tailpipe on the Scorpion looks like single thickness steel, whereas the K2 looks like double thickness if you know what I mean....not the best description... Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 scorpion FTW i don't have one but at the moment thats where i'd put my cash Quote
BladesGrant Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 The sound is pretty similar. The looks are different though. The K2 looks more OEM and the Scorpion is slash cut look. I have the K2 and FakeIndian has the Scorpion. His is probably slightly louder than mine but not much in it. Some people have been having issues with K2 fitments recently though. Quote
davetstan Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I recently got the scorpion and am really happy with it. However, I prefer the tail pipes on the k2 and even the OEM than th scorpion... Sounds nice though.....I rarely have my music on these days Quote
jim Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I recently got the scorpion and am really happy with it. However, I prefer the tail pipes on the k2 and even the OEM than th scorpion... Can you not remove the tail pipes from the OEM and fit them on to the Scorpion? Quote

Can you not remove the tail pipes from the OEM and fit them on to the Scorpion? Not sure Jim,,,, if you find out let me know.... the scorpion tails do not quite stick out far enough for my liking...

Dave I decent garage/exhuast place could swap you the tail pipes if you prefer the OEM ones. Quote

The only reason he hears my K2 a lot is because he is always behind me!!! Quote
fakeindian Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 more like your so far behind i can't hear you!! Quote
danZman Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 Looks like ill be going scorpion then, cheers lads. I have a standard JDM at the mo... You mentioned that it was different to the standard UK exhaust? How? Quote

danZman Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 I was just about to purchase a scorpion catback exhaust on ebay and in the advert it says it does not fit import models? Is this true? I cant imagine them being any different? Quote
jim Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 I was just about to purchase a scorpion catback exhaust on ebay and in the advert it says it does not fit import models? Is this true? I cant imagine them being any different? There's another advert in the same section from a different supplier that makes no mention of the import fitting. I've never heard anybody suggest that they are different, but maybe someone who has fitted one to a JDM can confirm. If in doubt, why not buy from one of the traders on this forum? They know what they are talking about. Quote
fakeindian Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Mate I got mine from CS on here and he fitted it to and there is no problem with it going on a jdm. Quote
danZman Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 Thank-you, good to know just for piece of mind! Ive had exhaust nightmares in the past with my S2000 Quote
