as above... I've been offered a second hand one for peanuts and wondered if anyone has had any experience with them? If it knocked it would annoy the hell out of me!
Anyone heard of scorpion exhausts?

Sounds like it could be worth a box of beers then? I am a bit worried that someone took there car into my mates garage to put a standard exhaust back on cos it was too loud...Guess there is only one way to find out! can always put the standard one back on i suppose!

Getting there
I had one fitted to my Civic Sport it was very well made and sounded awesome when the VTEC kicked in, did give a little bit of boomy resonance when sat at motorway speeds, I rang up the suppliers who got me another back box and this got rid of the resonance. Only other thing I got with it were proflex exhaust hangars to replace the rubber ones as this was also recomended. But for a crate of beer you've got a bargain there and if you don't like it swap it back.

If I remember rightly the bloddy thing knock and rattle like hell. It didn't matter on a rattly 16 year old GT Turbo but on an A3/S3 it might be a pain.
If I remember correctly they are seriously loud. Cliosports with them were usually chav cars (bolt on back boxes to just make them sound fast).
Company is meant to be reputable though!

The sound may be questionable, but the quality is second to none.
I guess it depends what you're after...

They are a local company to me, about 5 mile away, a place called codnor industrial estate, very nice premises and yes they do seem to have a good rep.
A bit random but the micron/magnex factory is about 5 mile away also in the other direction.

living the dream by the sounds of it
Mate that car was the 2nd fasted car i've owned after my elise and I owned it when I was 21. I thought I was a bad ***
I went down the magnex route with my mk1 golf gti, scorpion exhausts were know to be loud back in the day but still a good quality exhaust, popular with E36 M3 lot as well.

there should be no "thought" about it, R5GTT are bad *** to the core. barely see any on the roads now. i bet theyre a right handful, especially with their all or nothing power deliveries
remember those comedy twin loop dump valves?!!

Just get it fitted if it's gonna cost you a few beers, then bang it on here in the classifieds if it's not your cuppa.
