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

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.
 
Good news! About price and shipping :)
Thanks again for all your efforts you put in there. Not only for the potential forum's members discount, but for providing the z4 community with a new toy!! :driving:
Btw, any report from last sunday meeting?

As much as I'd really like to help on that, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment.

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.

I take it you're nowhere near Manchester at all?

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

Fingers firmly crossed Steve! :thumbsup:
 
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'

Any more info on model compatibility ? 2003 onwards?

I could do with putting a 3.0i next to mine on a ramp to measure differences, but as of yet, no confirmation.
 
OK, So here goes with the pricing!

Scorpion System Number: SBM071
MSRP: £899.00 inc VAT - Most Scorpion dealers automatically give a 10% discount, which would see the price at £809.10 inc VAT (plus any Shipping Charges of course).

I'm just waiting on an e-mail back regarding the proposed lead times and will post them up as soon as I know.
The guys who've PM'd me already will have a Forum Deal price before close of play today.

If anyone else would like a Forum Deal price, Please feel free to drop me a message.
Many thanks, Al.
 
As a quick update to the above, the current lead time is looking to be around 4-5 weeks.
 
Looks a nice system.
I also really like the eisenman systems,which are available for similar money,for the 3.0i,and for slightly more for the 3.0i(2003-2005), you can get a quad pipe system :D

The Scorpiospn exhausts are good,used them years ago on cars/mates cars :driving:
 
The only slight downside with the Eisenman systems is that they aren't actually a complete cat-back, so don't include any front pipes.
They require cutting into your existing system.

Plus for many people they are a little over the top in terms of Loudness/Volume.

The Scorpion System is supplied as:
* Left Hand Front Pipe
* Right Hand Front Pipe
* Centre Silencer
* Left Hand Link Pipe
* Right Hand Link Pipe
* Rear Silencer Assembly
* Installation Kit

I should really have mentioned that in the above post :)

Good work on getting this done,the forum donation d the same years back with exhausts for 03/05 reg cars.....hats one of the good things of forums.
Eisenman u can get sports cats for though,and complete system as a result.

No worries at all.

I believe it is a 304 Grade Stainless steel which is the industry standard for Stainless exhausts, the very same used by Milltek Sport, Jetex, Pipewerx etc.
 
Yeah,301/304 is the usual,as far as I know, for decent exhausts.
I like the Milteks too...used to make certain exhausts for early z4s,but then stopped and moved onto the newer models,as happens.

Look forward to seeing a video clip of this if you have it fitted to yours yet?
 
There's one a page or two back. It's only a little taster clip unfortunately as my recording equipment is a bit pants :(
The images scattered through this thread are of the system being developed on my car (It's still on there ) ;)
 
mr.tourette said:
just out of interest what do you anticipate fitting costs to be about?
Click to expand...

Depends how much your local exhaust place charge and what the condition of your existing flange studs are like.
If they are as bad as mine were, The studs will need to be cut and drilled out and replaced with Nuts/Bolts. (Potentially 2-2.5 hours)
If the flange studs/nuts aren't too seized and can be wound off easily enough you'd probably be looking at around 1.5 hours.

Hope this helps.
