Cost was bit tongue in cheek, looking around as I've started to costs are all over the place... bit of mine field trying to work out what's good and what's not.... Some around 1.5-2K it seems .... on a 5K car... never worth it.
Nothing on their website yet....... Hopefully an option for me as I like how you specified the noise requirements, spot on.

Al, I read you were very happy with the result, however and if you find the time, could you elaborate a little bit more your feelings - once you get to perform a few more test drives?
Sorry for being a little bit pushy, I just can't imagine how frustrating it must be for you as you have now to wait for MOT !
keep us tuned please

MOT passed yesterday.
Totally love the exhaust. When holding a constant speed just off the throttle it's literally no louder than standard.
It has a wonderful deep tone at the lower end of the rev range.
On 'sporting' drives, it give the 6-Cylinder engine a much more characterful sound than standard, although not so loud as to make you look silly or draw too much unwanted attention.
I had the car up on the ramp to have a look at it in person the other day and the technicians who were in at the time complimented the system on how nicely designed it looks!

Had another business meeting with the guys from Scorpion Exhausts today and was given the good news that the prices have been finalized.
With any luck, I should have them up here for you guys tomorrow.
With regards to a 'Group Buy' as such, I won't be allowed to post any discounted prices on the forum for public viewing, However I will be able to give people the price in person, just as long as it's kept to yourself as we're only allowed to advertise specific pricing on Scorpion Exhaust systems (To make it fair for the other dealers).
So providing everyone keeps things to themselves, I will be able to offer 'Forum Friend' specific deals and look after you all on price, and all sales will need to come directly through myself.
Worth noting with this as well, I can ship pretty much anywhere in the world, So if you've got a friend in Spain who wants one, or a Brother in Japan, Just shout me and I'll work out a shipped price!
Thanks for reading and your continued support

Exciting but we need to hear some more detailed audio/video to gauge what's on offer. I like the idea of a more exotic sound but I do take the car on long motorway drives so it needs to be barely louder than stock.

As much as I'd really like to help on that, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment.Steve84N wrote:Exciting but we need to hear some more detailed audio/video to gauge what's on offer.
However - I'm open to offers if anyone
A) wants to come visit for a brew with some decent audio recording equipment
B) Send me some decent audio recording equipment that I can send back
C) Buy me... lol you get the picture.
All I have for Video / Audio is my iPhone 6S and to be completely honest, The microphone misses out pretty much anything below 80hz.
With you every step of the way on that. There has actually been moments on the By-Pass (because you can't do 70mph on Motorways around here anymore... ) where I've actually been quite impressed how quiet they've managed to make it when pottering around at medium/low revs.Steve84N wrote:I like the idea of a more exotic sound but I do take the car on long motorway drives so it needs to be barely louder than stock.
I take it you're nowhere near Manchester at all?
'fraid not. My work commitments got in the way. As well as going to a funeral I worked 93 hours last week...Zeddicus wrote:Good news! About price and shipping

So I guess we're looking at between £500 and £1000? If so, I'm out!

Gloucestershire unfortunately. There's plenty of more northern members on here though so hopefully someone can help.

Armed with a phone you could try and get some decibel readings, mainly in the car at various speeds. The tone sounds decent in the short clip you posted, does it have any resemblance of metallic rasp like an S54?

It's a Different than the typical S54 rasp to be fair, a bit more refined, less 'rip your face off'Steve84N wrote:Armed with a phone you could try and get some decibel readings, mainly in the car at various speeds.

I could do with putting a 3.0i next to mine on a ramp to measure differences, but as of yet, no confirmation.9designs wrote:Any more info on model compatibility ? 2003 onwards?
