Pete favours the Mongo-ose big bore bad boy. He says they are a hit with the kids, no doubt the Hiace will be getting one

I thought Scorpion were pretty decent? Surely, they are not boy-racer loud?

There decent when there new, give it a few years when all the baffles are blown out and there unbearable.

I like my Scorpion system, always have! It does have a certain howl to it at certain points in the rev-range and doesn't have the OEM look so avoid if these are points you dislike.zd3bx wrote:I thought Scorpion were pretty decent? Surely, they are not boy-racer loud?
I know some people have complained in the past about the baffles disintegrating but I've not had this problem and mine has been on my car 8/9yrs now! Good build quality and fitment but it's not to everyone's taste.

Valid point, it won't be as good as genuine BMW, but I doubt any of us will be driving an E30 in the next 20 years...Unless you fit a Prius engine in itleeparkes wrote:There decent when there new, give it a few years when all the baffles are blown out and there unbearable.

i love the sound of mine, only got the back box, with standard system, it was brand new so all the baffles etc are good, it has an awsome sound, not too loud and quiet at low revs/tickover, but i love the sound/howl it gives when you give it some beans, it sounds excellent i thinksuchy wrote:I like my Scorpion system, always have!

Yeah I dig mine too, that's why I'm defending them! I have the full system and it produces a lovely howl at 4200rpm, but not too noisy on tickover/low revs (in traffic)polsta wrote:i love the sound of mine, only got the back box, with standard system, it was brand new so all the baffles etc are good, it has an awsome sound, not too loud and quiet at low revs/tickover, but i love the sound/howl it gives when you give it some beans, it sounds excellent i thinksuchy wrote:I like my Scorpion system, always have!

Guys I found the following
Supersprint bmw
E30 320i/325i/325ix/325i Cabrio 88>91
Back box twin round 76mm (fits model with mtechnik too)
Fits to the OEM catalytic converter with EEC homoligation
Will this fit my current system as their is no cat on it
