Ask for them to leave the council scorpion logo off the STW tips.

That's how i ordered mine when i had a scorpion back box.

Sold it to the diddler.

It's stainless (for now!!! :wink: ) so it's not going to rust now is it Malc!!

And he can't sleep with it, for fear of puncturing his bed 'partner' :)

I went to exhaust centre
They said visit any time to get fitted
Then they say they got 1 tech working on 3 cars they can't fit today
Ducking joke!!!!
So I left my exhaust with them
Let's hope they don't steal no parts

Pony, don't forget, Malc was a lorry driver, along with the usual tools he would keep in his truck, a roll of carpet and a roll of duct tape are also present and could be used at a moments notice :twisted:

Can't find bolster cloth, that would be my guess.

What's a whip ?

Seems more powerful

Is actually quite discreet sounding
Doesn't really reverb under bridges

To be honest pony you don't your exhaust too loud.
When I had a mk2 golf many moons ago it was fitted with a Remus exhaust.
Around London it was great.i was a half pint in my element.
A trip to Birmingham soon sorted that out.
The car was unbearable and by the time I got there I didn't want to come back.
I sold that car pronto and have never fitted an exhaust to my car ever since.
Even my renault gtturbo was more quiet and sounded better.

Give it a while to "break in" as well Pony. The sound will change a bit once the packing isn't factory fresh

I want it to be really ASBO loud.
Currently is pensioner pleasing loud

Really is a work of art.

All the techs were looking as was being fitted.
Took 2 techs to fit it. Older tech who has fitted a lot of them apparently telling the younger tech how to fit it.
There was a point there were 4 techs around the Sport a˜³a˜aa˜Š

I wouldn't call exhaust fitterz techs.

Overly loud cars attract the wrong sort of attention

Ok just been in the Sport with the New Scorpion full sports exhaust system

Sport feels more powerful as per my first comments
Seems a bit louder
Has a cultured growl (not yet a rasp?) at idle and low revs so is pretty acceptable socially volume wise at those revs and looks to all intents and purposes OEM
Does reverb in a tunnel but not as loud as my old exhaust (before the centre box broke)
Had a few funny looks more to do with my driving than the exhaust

The exhaust fitterz said I needed new gasket for front to mid section of the exhaust
They were worried wouldn't fit properly without it as old parts were worn
This is now being ordered by BMW Park Lane Classic.
They reused old parts and applied some kind of seal to ensure no leaks.

Needs more volume!!!!

My scorpion was relatively civil below about 3k then sounded loud enough to me, if anything too loud

The centre box baffles will blow out eventually then it will really howl with a resonance between 3-4k.

How long does it take for baffles to go :-) ?
