oliver789 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hi all. I need a new back box for my zed and I'm only looking to spend around 250 - 300 quid because I'm not exactly flush with cash at the moment! Does anyone have and suggestions? I've seen some on ebay around 199 - 250 are they any good? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Ebay or Japspeed = cheap tat Scorpion = good quality and sound +1 or wait until a better second hand one comes up for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 If you're not flush, why not just get it repaired? Imho worth saving for a proper exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Scorpion is the cheapest 'Good' exhaust you can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 The Scorpion and Cobra system that we do would be ideal... Link to exhaust systems here - http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main ... cPath=1_10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 eBay exhaust........search returns 10 full threads dedicated to this topic. Exhaust returns 483 matches......most of which are 'what exhaust should I buy?'. The information is at your fingertips my man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRS Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Have a chat with Greg (CrustyCrab) on here, I believe he has the eBay japspeed back box, I must say it sounds quite nice....... Runs for cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John tarantula Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Got a Japspeed K1 on mine and fits ok and sounds nice with the bungs in though too loud for my taste with them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliver789 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Sorry for posting a relatively common question but most of the other threads about 'ebay exhausts' are a couple of years old and the links are dead. And lots of the other threads people have different budgets and are also a few months - a few years old! So now I'm contemplating the Scorpion or Cobra... they are similar price range. Is the general consensus that the Scorpion one is 'better'? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scorpion I used to have sounded amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the general consensus that the Scorpion one is 'better'? Cheers The both sound very nice, I had a ride in a Zed with a cobra on the other day and it sounds really meaty but not ott. Main difference with them is the backbox, the Scorpion has a big old box hanging low but the cobra has a bit of a puny one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hmmmm I can't make my bloody mind up either scorpion or cobra-resonated or not. Need a change from the K1 but might keep the K1 for the odd hoon lol!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Steve, Humpy and I did a little drive in each others cars the other weekend. I honestly thought the Cobra already had Berks it sounds really meaty, I am not sure if Humpy already has an aftermarket Y-pipe though too I love my Milltek & Berks but I have to say if I was buying an exhaust now and I was on a budget I would probably get a Cobra, I think I would do a reverse bumper tuck to hide the little back box though It just doesn't look right, it's like Janette Krankie with the voice of Brian Blessed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Also worth noting that with the Cobra system that we do you also get to choose the tail pipe, they do one which almost emulates the OEM look which is a very popular choice, have a look on our Facebook page for 'fitted' photos...

SteveW Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Agree not a fan of the puny looking back box on the cobra but I'm getting a charge speed rear soon so that should hide it. I've already got an aftermarket Y pipe so that's a bonus if it sounds more meaty. I did see the Humpy thread but it's always hard to tell via vid clips, I really should get my ass to a meet or two.... I do like the dragga tails and also the 4" slash cut decisions decisions....
