I'm sure I read on here that someone bought one but the fit was bad. I can't remember who it was though.

I have one, the fit isnt perfect, but I got mine to fit pretty well in the end.
the bore is larger than scorpion etc.

ah sounds promising ...don't suppose you have a vid of it / soundtrack ?

how would you describe the noise ? against a scorpion le mans rear box .

i like the rasp of the scorpion but not so keen on the balls out screamer over 6k lol

Found it. It was AndyZippy who used a Sportex on his M52.

think i've got him on fb .

that's not the same exhaust .

Looks like the middle section to me

Thats the one, its loud quite raspy, but i havent driven the car much and last time was in november so its been a while . I have mine on a m52. for the money nothing really comes close.

i thought it was all in one [ no joins ] looking at the pics ... think i'll get one

Do it and if it's fine I will get one!

it's on the list mate .

Just sold one of those sportex systems on the bay. They are mild steel not stainless but for the money it was brilliant. The build quality if the exhaust was ok it was the hangers that always made it hang at a funny angle. Made my own hangers up to make it better. Sounded really good on tickover with a nice burble and was quite quiet at steady motorway speeds as well.
The only reason it came off was i had the one with the larger twin tailpipes and looked a bit silly.
so gone back to standard for now. Dibs on the Scorpion if your selling it.
Let me see if i can find the ebay pictures for you.

what size were the tail pipes ?

if you can get a link to the ad or the pics that would be sound .

Yes it was Andy.

It fitted badly and I now have it on mine and it is still WAY too low. Planning to just chop it about as I am using it with a random back box I had kicking about (standard exhaust was shot so cobbled something together).

Hard for me to comment on noise as it's a random stainless back box but it's bordering on too loud. Really considering changing it but thinking it might be a resonation issue as no rear carpets at the moment.

Quality of material and welding is ok, so I do wonder if the fit issue is just this particular pipe.

Would be nice to know how it sounds with the right backbox because cost v quality a complete one is still tempting.
