Scorpion backbox..? - Saxperience

How do people rate them? Hows the sound compared to a magnex?

I'm bored to death of seeing people with magnex and want something different.

Love scorpion exhausts myself, has one on my old saxo, very good quality and sound nice too.

dannyjay · 10th June 2006, 00:55

Nicer than the magnex? I've seen one that fits a furio, 3.5" at 153£ (not inc P+P), do they drone? I just want something that has an awesome sound, but doesn't drone on motorways.

almost same as magnex mate, my m8 has one on his vts and its not much different in terms of looks and sounds

me brother in law has a scorpion back box with a supersprint middle section and it sounds brilliant. and its not decated yet.

i have a scorpion duplex and its quite as fuck altho i got the bitch popping once it was warmed up which suprised me

I have a Scorpion Backbox with a standard centre section and de-cat which sounds quite raspy rather than loud. Its not BURR but RING!!!!!

And it backfires all the time too. Its not droney either. But I think its leaking a bit now!

Cheers lads, I will have to think about this one. :Y:

Dan · 13th June 2006, 23:13

Im sure Dom (artnmotion) has/had one for sale mate.

Dom's exhaust sounded sweet, it was reasonably quiet whilst idling, but when he gave it a bit of welly it sounded very nice! a nice deep sports tone...

I've just ordered myself a piper exhaust... they are different to magnex's and are meant to be slightly louder.. just another brand you could consider..

Thanks
Alex

Was that a full system of backbox? Thats the kind of thing I'm looking for. I have a 4.5inch monster at the moment, that is ultra loud and is starting annoy me now, I know I'll most likely miss is loudness, but I wouldn't mind something a little less droney.

Cheers for the help lads.

I've just won a full scorpian system off Ebay so when i get it fitted I'll get some video's posted.

It'll be fitted with my decat & Raceland 4-2-1 Manifold so I'm hoping for a decent soundtrack.

furioAL^m · 15th June 2006, 10:23

This is the system that dom was running on his vts engine conversioned vtr...

It did sound truly amazing!

I just bought a backbox for mine, i will see how loud it is and i am now insured to do any exhaust/manifold mods so i will consider removing silencer box and/or decat depending on how it sounds...

ets2k9 · 15th June 2006, 11:14

Is there any difference between a Mk2 exhaust and the Mk1?

As I've got a mk2 exhaust to fit a mk2 vts engine thats sittng in a mk1 vtr.

Hopefully thats makes sense too somebody

Cheers

Steve

furioAL^m · 15th June 2006, 12:40

Yes mate, some mark 2's the vt* models have the catalytic convertor in the manifold, rather than under the car... that's the only difference...

ets2k9 · 15th June 2006, 13:17

Cheers FurioAl.

b0t13 · 15th June 2006, 18:00

vtr 2001+ have the cat in the manifold, anything earily has it under the car.
