I have only had the New Scorpion Full Sports Exhausts System less than 24 hrs

Feels like is making more power
Engine feels smoother
Finally feels like 325i and I might have a chance against a 320d
I chose Scorpion because is supposed to be a well engineered product and they are supposed to be L O U D
Nice and discreet at idle and low revs
With STW tips looks very similar to OEM and beautiful
To get STW tips you have to put in the request with Scorpion themselves and notify the Scorpion dealer you have purchased from
At first is quite quiet. I have additional comments on the "Exhausts" thread

My Scorpion is the full system with two boxes and burbles lovely on tickover without pis*ing off the neighbourhood and then sings at 4k which is best of both worlds imo. Bit drony on the motorway though but it doesn't bother me as mine isn't a daily. It would be a different matter if I had to commute everyday in it...

pony, try my set up.

magnex 6 branch,
X-pipe.
straight through to scorpion back box.

nice V8 like rumble (very bass heavy) on idle.
rumble up to 4k
from 4k up a nice bike/f1 like howl/rasp.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
getting oral sex off an ugly person is like rock climbing.....don't look down ;)

Yes, v.much so and it is awesome!

Yes but for the wrong reasons. I try v.hard to not draw attention when in public. I save the noise for when no one is looking.

No of course not. People think you're an idiot if you stomp on the loud pedal in built up areas or busy traffic/shoppers. DON'T DO IT!

Oh I love driving mine on the motorway more than anything- it sounds glorious at a sustained 4k, it's just too much for extended journeys/daily commute 8)

I've had mine for 10yrs now and it still brings a smile everytime I hit 4k...

Of course- just not in a city centre/my own street/busy Saturday down a High Street checkin' out my stylez in shop windows and rollin' with my windows down and tunez blasting looking for admiration from shoppers...

I'll leave that to the sad attention whores out there :wink:

There's a time and a place for the 4k howl :)
