andymc Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Whats the best model etc of Scorpion exhaust for the 350Z? I gotta say that there are only a few exhausts I like the sound of ... Nismo and Scorpion. And curiously, they are at opposite ends of the price range! pound per sound ... (if thats a valid thing to say) the Scorpion is a winner Quote
sparky370z Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 here you go mate, there is a vid on there, sound cool!! viewtopic.php?f=11&t=29099&p=493673&hilit=scorpion+sparky#p493673 Quote
captain Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Here's an alternative if you want to be rarer and better looking. Looks very well made and the website gives confidence. http://www.blueflameperformance.co.uk/ http://www.blueflameperformance.com/cargallery/#NISSAN/350Z http://www.blueflameperformance.com/prange.php?makeid=70&modelid=376&pageid=6 Expect to pay less than the advertised £595 for the cat-back system as their distributors are providing substantial discounts. I mentioned this to Blueflame and they did me a price. I ended up paying about £70 more than the Scorpion/Japspeed combo. Mines being fitted w/c 5th April so if you can wait, I'll have a good quality vid up soon. Quote

I really wanted the Nismo but cant justify all that money on an exhaust. The blue flame sounds awesome, so, yep! How much did you get in for dude? and do they fit them at their HQ? Quote

I rang them direct and mentioned the distributors that were undercutting them. If you Google "blueflame 350z" and go to Shopping you'll see the two companies Blueflame matched the lowest price. If you go to the distributor, they might palm you off with an older, silenced version which would be As for fitting, they're in Skelmersdale which is where the frightening Northern tribes live and I don't go north of the Cotswolds darling.

danZman Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I dont get it?! I just brought one of these on ebay from a company called Larkspeed. They refunded me saying I purchased this item in error? Scorpions fit on JDM's right? Quote
danZman Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Thats really bad! They updated the advert AFTER I purchased the exhaust stating that it will not fit JDM Models! I still dont get it, are JDM's that different? Quote
Dblock Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Thats really bad! They updated the advert AFTER I purchased the exhaust stating that it will not fit JDM Models! I still dont get it, are JDM's that different? No I think they dont want the hastle of saying it does just incase. TBH if they did that arent you happy the refunded you, if something happened later on I dont think they would deal with it. Give CS a shout. Quote
Neilp Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 opening this thread up again, has anyone with the scorpion got a system with a middle silencer, just looking there and mines doesnt have the middle silencer... Quote
fakeindian Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 opening this thread up again, has anyone with the scorpion got a system with a middle silencer, just looking there and mines doesnt have the middle silencer... nope.... japspeed y pipe straight into the scorpion back box Quote
sparky370z Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 yup straight through mid pipe. into the y pipe from the backbox Quote
ToffeeZ Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 yup straight through mid pipe. into the y pipe from the backbox Same here Quote
Neilp Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Cheers guys, I was just checking I know milltek do a resonated and deresonated system. Thanks alot Quote
Gervais Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 May be a long shot but us there anyone near rainham in Essex with just a scorpion from the Y pipe back? As I want to hear one in person as oppossed to going by videos alone. I'm also not too keen on rasping, do they do this? Thanks in advance and sorry for the hi-jack! Quote
Neilp Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 It doesn't rasp, more a v6 grunt/rip through the exhaust. Sounds amazing, just not too loud. Quote
rawbhp Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 I have one and am next to J20 of the M25 if you are ever nearby. Standard Y pipe at the moment. The noise is great-fairly subtle but definitely louder than stock. No rasp-just a grunty growl. Quote
buster Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 i ve got to say that the scorpion system sounds great.after a sound check at castle coombe at the weekend the result came back at 80db. mine came with this fitted and must say coupled with the y pipe and the jwt air filter its got a great burble. Quote
kazman Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 I have one and am next to J20 of the M25 if you are ever nearby. Standard Y pipe at the moment. The noise is great-fairly subtle but definitely louder than stock. No rasp-just a grunty growl. Exactly what i want to hear... i was worried i might not notice the difference without an aftermarket Y pipe. Possibly thats not the case then. Quote
Gervais Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Sounds like just what I'm after! thanks for the offer mate, will drop you a pm soon and fly up to you at somepoint Quote
rawbhp Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Yes it's definitely louder from in and outside the car. I don't think i'll fit a y pipe as it will be that bit too loud and drown out the popcharger etc. A guy at the flats where i live has a stage 2 exhaust on his Exige S and no cats by the sound of it - and all you can hear is exhaust noise (from about a mile away). Not my cup of tea... Quote
kazman Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Mine neither. What i would like is to be able to hear the exhaust at higher revs. At the moment (std UK zorst) the engine noise seems to swamp the exhaust above 3.5k rpms... Quote
bodyboarder Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Why not buy my blue flame and have the choice of quiter or louder then? Plus it comes with a y pipe so should see some improvements, Quote
ChrisUUC Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Does the Scorpion exhausts on Ebay fit the 08 HR 350z? Same question for the Japspeed/Itchiba/envy Y Pipes? Quote
