Scorpian upswept

[andys2]

Lads,

I have a twin scorpion upswept, which i feel went out with flared trousers, although it gives a lovely sound i was wondering if it were possible to get the upswept bits of the tailpipe cut off.

Would be easy for an exhaust fabricator to cut the ends off and weld on something else. If you just cut the upswept section off it may look strange:wacked:

ive been thinking the same thing, its the only thing i dont like on my car,was already on when i bought it, it seems to direct the fumes all over the rear of the car also, have to t-cut lots of grime of that side of the bumper every so often...right pain:mad:
right thats it their getting cut off

Scorpion did a straight end version as well.

I've got the dreaded trumpet tips on my urq, I've been thinking for ages about sawing them off at an angle to make it look more like the stock pipe, much nicer.
Check out the DT catalogue, I'm sure you can buy just the tips in a few different designs, just saw off the upswepts and bolt on a new pair, it wouldn't really count as a Max P conversion if you're doing it to a good system would it?

Well the DTM tips are still rare here in the U.S. and therefore still somewhat in vogue. It's what I picked.

But as far as tips. There is an excellent exhaust company in Canada called Brullen. They make the most beautiful tips I have ever seen in several different designs.

My suggestion is buy tips from them and have them installed locally.

I have used their systems on my Audis and they are of the highest quality. I have done group buys with them as well.

Know what you all mean about the upswept pipes being a bit dated now, suppose we have the Lax Power Brigade to thank for that
Whilst checking out s2centrals buyer guide (top site ) I came across these pipes in the gallery section, and thought they look bloody fantastic (why Audi have not done this with their top models I've no idea??????.) Has anyone on here had any made up and fitted to their cars?? I was so taken with them I immediately set about making some. Started by making them out of plastic plumbing waste pipe (wife was giving me weird looks... thought I was making some sort of strange audi toilet roll holder...women eh ) Then made a visit to my local powerflow exhaust centre and blagged some offcuts. Tried to weld them myself....made a pigs ear...... made some more, and let the guys at work TIG them up for me.
Going to weld them to my back box tomorrow

Next job... design a set for the coupe and avant quattro's back box, once done I'd be only to happy to make some for anyone that wants them. Free!!!
Get bored a work often

Note.......Have made them to suit the rear cutout of the bumper, and they look more like the audi rings than the ones in the pic (bit to close together)

Took about an Hour but looks so much better

I think you have the record there Jon for digging and thread and posting on it again after over 3.5 years!

Exhaust looks better though

[Jas11n]

Good to see I'm still talking ***** 3.5 years later .

Pipes looks a lot better like that Jon rather than the upswept old hat look.

[Jamo]

Can I ask how much that cost and who did it?

I want my Milltek ones shortened at some point as they rip your shins to bits.

[Jon441cc]

Cost nought i did it last saturday.
The Scorpion tips are 3" upswept then go onto a slip joints, i had some 3" stainless lying about and it worked perfectly, cutting off the old pipes was awkward and i had to make sure i didnt cut through the slip joint, but apart from that it was simple.
Pipes were mig welded on but only had time to put a few spot welds on to make sure they were in the right place, will take it off at the weekend finish it off.

I now have Andy's S2, he is the one who started the post so i thought i would show how it should look like
