Hi All,
Thinking of geting a new stainless exhaust and local supplier only lists Scorpion for our rockets - anyone run these, good or bad experiences, sport cat/de-cat etc...
Cheers in advance for your advice
I have a full Scorpion de-catted system. It's stainless steel, has twin tailpipes, straight cut.
It's a nice system, not too loud and boomy, but gives a nice gutsy sound and a good burble. It adds a bit performance-wise (don't have exact figures) over stock, and with the de-cat, definitely adds more top end power (they say about 10Bhp) and give a noticable increase in the "whooshing" noise when on full throttle. I also get the occasional flame on the overrun.
Mine doesn't have the most perfect of fit at the rear end though, the fit of the rear box is a bit skew, so it doesn't exit the gap at the back right bang in the centre, and the left pipe occassionally taps against the bodywork. I've tried having it re-fitted, and using Powerflex exhaust bushes to hold it more tightly, but to no avail.
Ex S2 owner, now running around in an A4 Avant quattro...
Yup, not a bad exhaust, apart from the slightly scewed fit where it exits the rear bumper. Mine has the DTM style upswept tailpipes, which I think look a wee bit dated and boy racerish. If I had the choice, I'd go for a custom system or the Miltek.
Just checked the ever expanding pile of receipts and the scorpian exhaust came to £580 inc VAT, back in 1999. IIRC this was one of the only options for an RS2 at the time. I hade to have the cat tubes made up which came to £90, they where not brilliantly fitted and occasionally need a bit of attention.
Cats where done at the time of the original remap on the stock exhaust. I did notice things getting a little quicker at the bottom end when the scorpian exhaust was fitted.
It can all get a bit noisey on long runs or so my wife tells me. Gave her some Bose noise cancelling headphones which resolves that problem
