You won't get much info just yet on the scorpion as I have the first ever one as part of helping them develop it. Should be available via orranje performance soon

Is it more than $500? I'm working on something with the total cost around $500. I'm not fronting anything around 1k. All of these "under wraps" exhaust systems are losing my business because they can't put out basic information. It's frustrating for me more than anything because I'm trying to consider all options before going ahead and making my own. This is a rant because I don't expect anything to change in time for me to make a decision. Sorry you guys have to be the middlemen to read this.
Building a custom exhaust system is easy but building custom exhaust without drone is difficult. Best left to a hi quality mfq not some bozo who welds flowmasters onto dodge rams and ford mustangs.
A downpipe with a 100 cell and a quality exhaust system will run between 2000 -3000 usd
and may net you 5 to 10 whp. that is some expensive hp.

Well said.
The sad part is you will never feel the 2-3k spent. Except when bragging to friends.

Lol I think I'm a little more qualified than "some bozo who welds flowmasters..." however, I appreciate the concern. I've never owned a car that you couldn't find a decent exhaust system for under $1000. I know a lot of them have the valve silencing system but I don't care for any of that. Trust me, building a custom exhaust system is not "easy" if you're doing it the correct way. I believe that what I'm doing will juice whatever extra hp any other market exhaust can, the design isn't any different but the price tag sure as hell is.

^^^I don't blame you. The only reason I'm spending anything close to that is because the system comes with the JCW Tuning Kit.
That would be my only choice for that price range but a bms stage 1 fell into my lap for a price I could not refuse so that kind of killed off that dream for me.

I have an NM power module in mine, but I'm still going with the kit. On another thread someone got 260+ hp and 300fp of torque with the kit plus the NM on the low setting. They got these readings on a real Dyno vs my butt Dyno.

More than enough power for me I'd be buying tires every other week with that setup.

I agree that installing a piggyback and the jcw tuning kit is the best way to go dollar wise for added performance and warranty. The aftermarket tunes will be much cheaper will provide as much or more and will have smoother delivery of power but with 0 warranty.
Has anyone noticed a drop in performance since using winter blend gas? filled up last week in north fl and since it feels a little lazy.

There is zero power to be made in this area, if looking for better sound and look have a have a racetube style middle section made from stainless and get a set of jcw tips.

Akrapovic just released new 2015/2016 F56 (for JCW) 100 cel high flow turbo down pipe & full exhaust system. Their in house dyno test revealed HP/torque gains from either system. Together You should see around 10-12 HP.The down pipe is reasonably priced around $700.00 with the full flex joint back system around $1600.00
This gets the JCW close to the 250 hp mark.
Tempting with free installation from their east coast dist. in NJ.

Sadly, it's too late for me. I just put in and order for all the materials today. I wish there was at least more info on pricing but my patience isn't infinite and if that costs me in the end then so be it. Lesson learned I guess. I'll just have to wait and see how everything plays out.
