***Completed*** Scorpion Exhausts - E85/86 - 2.5si and 3.0si Exhaust System Development!

[Ed Doe]

Definitely interested - let us know how it goes!

Absolutely, if all goes ahead, I'll make sure there are plenty of photographs and a reasonable amount of video/sound clips.

At this point development is looking to be around mid March for development, but just waiting for confirmation on the date.

Would it be possible when you next speak with your scorpion contact, to ask if there's enough interest would they do a system for the earlier engined cars, thanks

I'll certainly ask the question yes!

I would think they would fit all models? As far as I have been able to tell the pipe nun and diameter is the same on all but the 2.0l cars.

The system that is being developed will bolt on at the downpipe flanges, this means that on any car that doesn't run the N52 motor, it will delete the cats.

The 'si' or N52 engine models do not have cats under the floor like all other models do. They simply have a resonator. The N52's cats are up at the manifold.

N52 System:
1) Downpipe Flanges


2) Straight into the centre resonator - Then onto the collector, through to the rear silencer


Non-N52 System - Cats! Cats randomly positioned half way down the system, where the N52 has its Resonator


I may have this wrong, but that's what my research thus far has shown me.
If anyone can double check this against their own car 3.0i that would be ace!

Sorry from the picture you showed I thought thus was a back box system. The cats are where you say they are. But I am sure they could add them. Will cost a few quid more though I guess.

The image I showed in the first post was purely to show the tailpipe style that is likely to be used. Everything else in the post was aimed around the development of a proper cat back system.

Scorpion don't do things by halves

Wowsers Sorry pal!! I was just skim reading and was trying to help. I shall leave you too it

Gotta make sure everyone's on the same page The devil's in the detail and all that!

[IamMurdock]

absolutely interested, as long as the price is on the nicer side of competitive!

[Smartbear]

I thought this was going to be just the back box, I can see now it's going to bolt on at the manifolds-I will be surprised if it's a bargain price because of the extra pipe work but will see what they come up with.

You will undoubtedly get a nice product from scorpion but I'm pretty sure it will be at the top end end of the market, generally around 320 plus for just a back box (plus fitting) and around 600 odd for a half system (again plus fitting) which is not unreasonable for a high end product but a bit over budget for me personally considering other options available on the market

Just as a quick update guys, I now have a development date and my car is booked in with Scorpion for the week commencing 7th March 2016.
I'll try my best to keep you guys updated as things progress.
