Humpy Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Agree not a fan of the puny looking back box on the cobra but I'm getting a charge speed rear soon so that should hide it. I've already got an aftermarket Y pipe so that's a bonus if it sounds more meaty. I did see the Humpy thread but it's always hard to tell via vid clips, I really should get my ass to a meet or two.... I do like the dragga tails and also the 4" slash cut decisions decisions.... Have a look here mate - viewtopic.php?f=166&t=63451&start=0 and yes you should get to some more meets As Tarmac said I also purchased the Y-pipe with the Cobra exhaust and have to say really impressed. Tarmac thread with the Wales video shoot shows off the noise very well Quote
Leeroy Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I haven't heard the Cobra but I have the Scorpion cat-back. I'd describe it as how the OEM exhaust should have sounded - a tasteful 'warble' which sounds great when you give it some. The tiny Cobra back-box looks a bit sh*t if you ask me If you're keeping the car for awhile don't stay OEM - it sounds rubbish and WILL fail in the usual place again! Quote
oliver789 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 Anyone have any thoughs on the blueflame system from CS? My budget has risen slightly I know, this is the max I will spend. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Anyone have any thoughs on the blueflame system from CS? My budget has risen slightly I know, this is the max I will spend. That's a great system too, on our Facebook page we have a few photos of the full system for you to have a look at, its a great exhaust for daily use too, a great upgrade over the Nissan system...

Im a car novice and I freely admit that and I thought the back box looked big imo, guess to Mr joe bloggs size doesnt matter but the noise does Only big car enthuasiast would pick holes with the size of the back box???

oliver789 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 Last suggestion I promise, what about the mongoose system? Quote

Does seem a little odd, if it's looks you're after you buy something like amuse or hks, mostly all you see is tips anyway so that's what i'd base looks on. Quote
dave1221 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I too was on a budget so plumped for the Scorpion. Overall though, after watching video after video on youtube, it was actually one of my favourite sounding exhaust: Quote
Shinjuku Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Get a scorpion with a popcharger. Every track day I go to someone I dont know comes over and tells me my car sounds good and asks what its running. Thats good enough for me Quote
SteveW Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 I agree the scorpion does sound awesome my only concern is that with it only being 2.5" bore is it enough or is the system too restrictive? I have no idea. Quote
Shinjuku Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 The cats are the most restrictive point so unless you replace those its irrelevant I think. If you do decat and y pipe the car I doubt you would see a restriction due to the scorpion but im not technical enough to say for sure. Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Yeah, Scorpion plus Popcharger was nice on my Zed, then eventually had a Stillen Ypipe and Berk HFC's - great combo Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 How much is the scorpion system? £374.00 delivered... Quote

Patch Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 What benefits does a true duel system have? I'm new to V6 world Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 What benefits does a true duel system have? I'm new to V6 world True duals give better air flow. (two pipes instead of one) The Zeds exhaust system is very restrictive standard. Quote
Keyser Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 True duals give better air flow. (two pipes instead of one) True Dual True Dual with de-cats True Dual with de-cats on an SC Unless you Ian in which case single FTW Quote
