Hi guys, today i got myself a scorpion centre section and rear box as my current exhaust system had 3 - 4 different blows, however the chappy that sold it to me looked at my current exhaust setup (Standard 320 touring) and told me i'd need a new / different downpipe as the current one is not compatible with the scorpion system, however apparently there is a factory downpipe that will fit. I had assumed all factory downpipes would be the same but i guess not!

Here is an image of the two pipes placed together

Anyway i was hoping someone knew what kind of downpipe i needed as i need to get these pipes fitted soon!

Thanks

most tourings have the 2 piece system but the scorpion is based on the 3 piece system and as sweep said you will just need the front pipes from a 3 piece but they are cheap enough
