jamakalbi Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 my k1 would be ok for weekend use but day to day / motorway use is not going down well not just this but the pipe vibrating against the subframe is really doing my nut in, making it feel cheap to drive i am saving for skirts and lip at mo so dont wanna go balls out on a 5zigen / nismo yet seen quite a few people with scorpions on here and thinking about chopping in the k1 and switching what are they like over 3k revs?? also any fitting issues????

SunGodRA Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 When I had my K1 fitted, I had a minor weld done to stop it vibrating on subframe - apparently it makes a huge difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alessandro Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Mine came with a Scorpion, at low revs you don't really feel it but over the 4K sound lovely, lots of clips on youtube but before purchasing I would check it out in the flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I like the sound of mine, but a few people complain it doesn't sit right... personally I can cope with this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcash5 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 K1 is renound for being a cr@p piece of kit. Scorpions are ok at the budget end, I think they had some production line issues a while back but these have been ironed out. Mine fitted perfectly and 10000 miles on, it doesnt miss a beat despite being on and off a few times. No vibrations or catching on subframe etc Only thing I didnt like was the tailpipes as they are slash cut, so I swapped them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I love my Scorpion.... Not very loud but noticeable when giving high revs. The K1 would do my head in... A lot of people on here are selling them on as they are just too much for most people. Some people like them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetstan Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I just go a scorpion fitted last week with the japspeed y pipe. Love it, sounds nice and not too loud. Not keen on the tail pipes either though,,, my old JDM ones stuck out more and looked good all shiney.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Only thing I didnt like was the tailpipes as they are slash cut, so I swapped them Sorry - just catching up with this thread. What did you mean when you said you swapped them - did you fit the original tail pipes from the OEM exhaust on the new pipes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shieldsie Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Love my Scorpion, and also the cut pipes I like the stealthness of the cuts. Doesnt stick out like chav boys like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodyboarder Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Come on .... someone must have a pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladesGrant Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 If you want something that sounds like a scorpion but has the look of stock why don't you try a K2? mine sounds great over the 3.5/4k and looks totally stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 You should consider a Blueflame Performance exhaust too. About £500 including a new Y-Pipe. I'm very pleased with mine and the person I bought it off had got it to replace their Scorpion exhaust as that thought that was a bit rapsy. I haven't heard a Scorpion one myself though so can't comment on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
