Drivetrain Scorpion vs. Borla Sport, which is better for sound and perf
#1
If anyone has personal experience with both systems, I would greatly appreciate your comparison, comments, opinions, etc. I'm narrowed my choices down to these two because of their free flow design and mandrel bends. The Scorpion appears to have a significant price advantage over Borla and a larger exhaust tip. However, I'm still leaning slightly towards the Race Borla for it's perported aggressive sound and performance advantages. Help anyone?

The Borla sport will be much easier to get in the US. The sound is supposed to be very aggressive like a V-8 or as close to it as one can get out of a 1.6 liter 4 cylinder MINI. Performance has not been confirmed on Dyno yet but should be OK. Better than the regular Borla (which isn't that great). Unknown if it is as good as the Magnaflow.

I'm not sure that the price would be so good compared to the Borla sport. Shop around

I believe Scorpion exhaust is a solid brand. They appear to have a reputation for motorcycle exhaust systems. Other's have purportedly shown links to Play-Mini's systems which appears to identical to the Scorpion that Turner Motorsport is selling.
I wish someone out there could give a descriptive difference between the Borla Race and Scorpion. Loudness is so subjective. I'm different in that I prefer "louder" systems but not to the point of obnoxious. I've heard from Randy that the Borla Race is almost as loud as the Magna Flow (which appears to be the benchmark for "loud" exhaust). While other's have described the Scorpion to be nearly as quiet as stock....too timid for me

>>Scorpion arrived today. Should be picking my Rocket up from the dealer on Friday (maybe Monday). I will do the install immediately (if it has not been put on already). I got mine from Bavarian Auto sport. $495 +$15 shipping.I am so stoked to have my car back.
Darksky,
Sounds like my situation...my MCS arrived in port NY 7-1 and was released from VPC 7-7. I'm hoping to get mine Friday too

>>Ahhhh, the heck with it....I'm going with Borla Race. I guess I'll put them on and hear them for my self :evil:
For anyone who's interested, I've just came back from my test run with the Borla Race and I'm pretty happy. Although, for all the talk about them being too loud or such....I disagree. I could use more volume.
The assembly was very precise and I liked the fact that IT IS IN MULTIPUL PIECES. The original is one piece and came down on me like a brick!!
