Hooch Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Yes I know there are loads of threads about Scorpion and Cobra exhausts but there are no sound clips from inside the car. I have read through all the posts about each exhaust and I have heard from some people that the resonated Cobra drones and others say it doesn't. I like the sound of the Scorpion but i'm a bit weary it might be a little 'too' quiet. Then again i'm weary the Cobra resonated is a bit on the loud side. My last car (which was for sale on here) was an Impreza that was immensely loud and I have had my fill of drone. So, has anyone got in cabin videos of both?

Jp606 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'll see if I can get it to record properly for you later on my phone. I have the resonated Cobra and it definitely does drone between 2-2.5k under medium-high load but nothing unbearable. It's gorgeous sounding exhaust imo and only really drones if you are driving in too high a gear uphill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooch Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 That would be great! I know its all down to personal taste, someone may say an exhaust is horrendously loud and another person will think its far to quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Where are you located, might be a local owner with one fitted... When you've decided drop us a call or PM and we'll be happy to help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsexr Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Invidia Gemini mate, more dosh but no drone and a quality piece of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORNZEE Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I also have invidia quality fit and sweeeeet sound well worth the extra wonga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I have a inside cabin one of the cobra exhaust from the Wales run. Will find it and pm it to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooch Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 For sure I will be coming to you CS. Invidia Gemini mate, more dosh but no drone and a quality piece of kit More than happy to spend a bit more if the sufficient gains are there and the sound is nice but with no drone. With a true duel you loose power low end but gain in the highs, is that correct? If you can do me a in cabin video that would be good. To be honest from what I have ready the gains are similar with all systems (providing the Y pipe is changed) so I am hesitant to spend the extra when the Nivida will be hidden and the Scorpion/Cobra are well made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vansman66 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 where about you based Hooch, if not far from me in Bournemouth, happy to meet up, I have non res cobra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooch Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 Well I'm a bit away from Bournemouth. I'm in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HmmBen Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) If the choice is still between the two I'm very happy with my Scorpion system. Personally I think it looks better. It is resonably quiet, but no drone at all. Edited August 28, 2013 by HmmBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Scorpion, Stillen Ypipe and Berks sound really really good. Cobra is also a good system, some owners have found even the resonated too loud so if its a slight increase then the scorpion is best. I would say the Scorpion is built better but both have good after sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooch Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 Cheers Tarmac, I think it will be the scorpion then. I doubt I will go down the route of berks as I don't want a raspy sound. I want a quiet car for normal driving then when I put my foot down you get a lovely sound that will turn heads (not that i'm a show off!) If someone could get me an in car recording of the Scorpion I would be most grateful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I had a Scorpion on mine, there really is very little difference to OEM in car. I didn't take any in car clips though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Theres quite a few videos steve took during the wales runs that he posted in the following thread. I admit though they dont do full justice to the cobra exhaust which sounds lovely in the flesh, or the metal as it were. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/71279-wales-2013-photos/page__st__300 Might have a watch over those again for memories sake.

Yep and those video's are before I added the Berks and it sounds absolutely spot on now! Just had a spontaneous meet up with Peteman35 also wondering about the Cobra at the West Meon Hut in between Peterfield and Winchester.... all I can say is he is sold on the Cobra Btw Will has SMD sent you my USB stick with the original video of that run we did yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteman35 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Scorpions are gay and sound like kittens purr. Cobra's really open up the v6 sound Like humpy said I've had a scorpion for a while. Now hearing a cobra makes me want one. No cabin drone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Tried to do a cabin sound clip of my Cobra for you, but it won't come out and sounds really quiet, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Not going to tell you i told you so steve but.....lol bet the berks does sound lovely with the cobra. You will have to give me a ride sometime. Nope not had the usb stick. Bit worried getting it off SMD though. Never sure what he may put on it lol Edited August 26, 2013 by Will370z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooch Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 So is the Scorpion similar to standard? Humpy, is your resonated or un-resonated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arran Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I have a cobra resonated with motordyne art pipes and the sound is immense. Everybody has said the same when theyve heard it really is a raw sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooch Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 I have heard so many good things about the Cobra, but i'm really looking for small step up from the standard and not something that's going to be loud in the cabin. I guess the only way to find out is to listen to the systems in person. Although if anyone can get a good video of the scorpion inside that would be brill. Has anyone else with Scorpion's got any views on their systems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
