Anyone got any sound clips or video files of one?

And been told pointless getting a full system as there good standard anyway so best to leave it be and get a back box?

Phase 1 sport btw

Listen its like this scorpion starts on idle, nice burble then you get a lovely deep throaty noise when you are accelerating under load. You then hit the 4000rpm mark and it turns into a banshee screeching for the innocent victim that you have reached for before you hit the beautiful rpm limiter wheer the scorpion says 'ive had enough listen to me limit' trust me you wont fit a finer 3 piece exhaust to your engne. Ive got one and its lovely. Under load its the only noise to listen to especially after 4000rpm. Do it you know you want to ;)

Sebring is pricey! I have one on the touring, they make a great noise though and not too loud either.

if i can get simons m3 for a straight swap for a sport......it would be rude not to. plus simon misses the sport i know it. and his lass misses it even more than he does.

How loud are these things when just driving slowly? Is the noise offensive to pedestrians/police?

im sure someone told me that the standard system is really good and that u wont gain and might lose power form going full aftermarket system.

if thats true then id say just go for a scorpion back box craig and put the rest of the Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£ towards the bbs rs u want.

Personally I think Scorpions don't sound that great - that hollow sound from the centre section really spoils it.. my magnex may look feeble but it sounds much better... :cool:

I,ve just fitted a Scorpian exhaust on my 325 from the downpipes onwards.Personally I think it sounds ok just a little louder than the standard system but boot it and you can hear the difference but wouldn,t put it in the chav leauge of noisy exhausts lol

scorpion rules...... centre sections tend to blow out and sound hollow though..... they sound pure touring car,,,, dont expect a rumble, what u get is a unique sound.... :cool: either love it or u hate it..... also they dont boom at constant speed ?(not accelerating) so are comfortable for cruising.....
