Drivetrain The Scorpion exhaust thread
#27
Better photos, sorry the video isn't up yet I had a nice one I thought, but my girlfriend apparently forgot to hit the record button. It's been a couple months now and the exhaust had to be retightened at the clamps from expansion but otherwise been good. The mufflers stayed nice and shiny but the piping did not. Guessing the stainless piping isn't as high quality as the mufflers and tips. Not really an issue as the tips and muffler are the only visible parts. Been really satisfied with my choice.

Looking at your original pictures, the piping just wasn't as polished as the tips or mufflers to begin with. Thats why it will never look the same, even though its likely the exact same quality. My exhaust for instance was mirror polished everywhere and still is, granted its never seen a winter yet. On a side note, car looks great but

As promised:
Outside the car revs, but quiet as the camera was in the waterproof case.

I guess if you want a fully polished system you have to pay an extra few hundred. Is rather save the extra cash. I'm still very satisfied with this system.

I'm happy with the carback part. However I would not buy the sports header I'm not happy with that part. It required way too much fiddling to install.

A local Euro Car used dealer has a few MINI on the lot, one of them has the Scorpion exhaust. It was the first time that I have ever seen or heard one.
We went there to look at another MINI for the Wife's son. It sounded nice I would say that it sounded most like the Borla.
I had the Ireland Engineering Exhaust it was throaty and low toned, it sounded amazing, BUT it was built CHEAPLY and had a terrible drone on the highway.
I recently pulled the trigger on full JCW exhaust setup, and I could not be happier, no drone, not loud till you put your foot in it. Amazing!
This is on an 06' MCSa, the one we looked at with the Scorpion was an 05 MCS.
