Just ordered my Scorpion Exhaust system from:

Patrick Dowling @
Bavarian Autosport
275 Constitution Avenue
Portsmouth NH 03801
800.535.2002
603.427.2002
http://www.bavauto.com

$494.95 + 15.00 s/h = $ 509.95

Looks like an interesting system. I will be the Guinea Pig.

Cool. Scorpion makes the subaru exhaust for prodrive which sounds incredibly good.

I'm excited. It should arrive just in time to go onto the car, as it is released from the body shop. It has been at Ralph Schomp since May 12. I have almost forgotten what it was like to drive.
It looks like a good straight through design and the price is fair. The emails from Scorpion that I received said I would "love the low pitched growl". Soon we will know.

i may be wrong but on mcshp.org the Playmini exhaust looks very similar to the pics we see of the Scorpion system. Now i'm just speculating but is it possible that the two systems are the same? and if they are which isn't bad at all, check out the sound clip because the Playmini system sounds AWESOME!

It looks kind of like the Magnaflow but with Borla tips, I think.

How much does it weigh?

Can you provide audio?

It looks like the Borla Sport system. I do like the tips...looks a little bulkier than the Borla though...

Scorpion (I don't have an S, I just thought I'd throw the pics in here):
They look identical to me.

It arrived today. I had it shipped up to the dealer-direct. The car should be released back to service from the Body shop tomorrow. They have to install a new headliner then it will be done. I should have it by Friday, maybe Monday. It has been gone soooo long that I don't have any expectations of it being done on the projected date. As soon as I have it I will let everyone know what I think.

Any chance you could you post a sound byte of the Scorpion for all to enjoy? It looks like a sweet set-up


His, Chile RED all over, Madness intake, MINI-Motorsport Airbox Mod, Magnaflow Exhaust, BMP spark plug wires, RDR rear sway bar and Helix P/D 15% reduction pulley.
Hers, EB UJ on top and BONE stock.

Two Minis , Look here. This is a link to MCSHP's web site. The exhaust here is refered to as the PLAYMINI. It looks incredibly similiar to the pics used to represent the Scorpion. There are sound bytes there too. They look like the same thing...... What do you think?

I'm pretty sure it is too. I've looked into them both closely and they're identical down to the welds (from pics).

Ryan, You are set on a Borla... do you prefer it over magnaflow or the other's?

Has anyone seen any Sebring Exhausts Anywhere? I had a set on my 300zx and they were both eye/ear catching and worked out nice with the setup.
