From A to Zed Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi all, I fitted my scorpion this weekend, the fit was actually very good (no squeaks or rattles) and I think it looks good on the car - it's quiet subtle but visible to 'those in the know' if that makes sense... I can only assume that there's a bad batch or two out there which has caused problems for other members. The only sting in the tail (sorry, couldn't help it) is the noise... I'll give it some time to soot up but it's a little quiet to be honest. A few piccies! http://s484.photobucket.com/albums/rr207/e414078/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p1tse Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 nice looking zorst did you fit yourself or a garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
From A to Zed Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi mate, I don't have any axle stands so I got a local tyre/exhaust place to fit it. It only took them 30 minutes so it must have fit well. Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcash5 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I did mine myself with very little issues. i love the sound. Stock at low rev's bit more throaty when u stamp the pedal. ..... Perfect in my opinion!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarCE Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Looking good, as mine should have done Did you have to remove any covers, i.e. the one to the right of the backbox or the cover around the diff? Also, did you need to bend any of the mounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From A to Zed Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Same here, mine was fitted at a local exhaust place and it popped straight on. It took more time getting the rusty old one off! Results above... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From A to Zed Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi mate, I commute by train all week so I haven't had much of a chance yet. I've done about 60 miles (since fitting it) and it's gradually getting a bit deeper. It still looks clean inside the tips though so it probably needs a few more miles. I'll post an update in due course. You can't grumble about the value though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunsetZed Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'm very tempted by one of these, where's the best place to buy one from, traders?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'm very tempted by one of these, where's the best place to buy one from, traders?! We have the Scorpion exhaust advertised in the Traders section… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
From A to Zed Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Sorry it's taken a while, here are some clips for those who are interested. I really like the sound, it's great with the window down but very quiet in the cabin. Sorry the clips are not 'full throttle' but it was a public area. For reference my set up is; HKS induction kit, standard cats and Y pipe, Scorpion system.

M350ZB Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 When fitting your zorst, you have the hangers , one left and one right ?, did you attach the rear hanger as such, sort of at the back of the backbox, to the right ? ? ?, All fit o.k ?

From A to Zed Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi mate, I have to be honest, I have no axle stands so I went for the lazy option and got a tyre/exhaust centre to fit it. (I used F1 in Chelmsford as my parents use them a lot and I find them quite good). They used all the standard mounts and I've had no problems with rubbing, rattles or alignment. I hope that helps, if only a little! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was the problem i had when i had mine on, when looking underneath though and after taking to a garge, i noticed on the back box as such to the right as if looking from the back of the car, there was a pieces of metal that i thnk should of been attached via a rubber mount, but was not, since then had a new exhaust system. is yours really bad check underneath and see if there is much play in it and its secured at all mounting/fixing points ? ? ?
