Nope, but you missed this bit chief:
nfbr said:It'll probably take a few weeks for them to get the system online and priced up. But as soon as that is done; I will let everyone know.
No point putting Scorpion's contact number up as they don't sell to the public. Only to their dealers.
Once available, the system can be ordered through any Scorpion Dealer.
And my video is poop. I want to do a better one but don't yet have access to good enough equipment.
This sounds like it will be excellent. I had some plans once the money situation improves of getting an exhaust fitted but didn't want one that droned or overpowered the induction noise, this sounds like it will fit the bill. Don't get me wrong the car sounds good as standard but it'd be nice for a it to have a little more of a voice

With the amount of interest we should try and wangle a special cheap cheap multi-buy deal
Once all of the relevant stuff is done and the product is completely ready for a release with pricing and availability, I'll have a word with the guys at Scorpion, depending on how many we get interest in, and see if I can do a bit of an Exclusive one off Group Buy.
I can't promise anything at this point though.

Bit confused now Al as i always thought this was being developed for a group buy basis :?
Taken from initial post
" At this point, I'm looking to gather interest on behalf of Scorpion Exhausts for this system and would be looking to do an introductory group buy of some sort with them. Now at this point, and until the development work has been done, we won't be able to give any specifics on pricing, but I was hoping to get a bit of a list together of people interested in going for one of these systems as part of a group buy. "

It was developed with the intent of putting it in to production as a resale part to become available through any Scorpion dealer, the same as any of their products. Not just for a limited production.
A group buy won't be a problem.
Smartbear said:I was under this impression as well, sounds as though the group buy discount has gone a bit vague now

Nothing to worry about. I totally forgot the fact that I'd already had the conversation about the first batch being done as part of a group buy.

As above.
Sorry guys but my head just isn't in the right place at the moment.

I really can't comment on price until Scorpion finalise the details.
I think You're massively undervaluing it at £500 fitted though. Looking at comparable items from similar suppliers for similar cars, I'd say it's be a fair bit more than that before you consider the fitting.
Plus, As yet, it hasn't been confirmed to fit the M54 (3.0i) models, Only the 2.5si and 3.0si.
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
