FAQs

What does 'Non-Resonated' mean for this exhaust system?

A 'non-resonated' exhaust system typically omits the resonator chamber, which is designed to reduce exhaust sound. This results in a louder, more aggressive, and sportier exhaust note compared to a 'resonated' version.

Is this exhaust system road legal?

Yes, this system is designed to be road legal. It leaves the primary catalytic converter in place, ensuring the vehicle meets emissions standards for MOT tests.

What is T304 stainless steel?

T304 stainless steel is a high-quality grade of stainless steel commonly used in automotive applications. It offers excellent resistance to corrosion and heat, making it ideal for exhaust systems.

Does the lifetime guarantee cover rust or discoloration?

The lifetime guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects and structural integrity. It usually applies to the original purchaser and may have specific exclusions for cosmetic issues like surface rust or discoloration caused by extreme conditions, though T304 steel is highly resistant.

How difficult is the installation?

While designed as a replacement for original parts, installation complexity can vary. Some users may find it straightforward, while others might prefer professional installation to ensure a perfect fit and avoid potential issues.

Can I choose different tailpipe styles?

Yes, Scorpion offers various tailpipe options (e.g., STW, Boxer, Daytona, Evo) that can be selected to suit your aesthetic preferences. These are usually specified when ordering or may be available as separate options.

Will this system significantly change my car's sound?

Yes, as a non-resonated system, it will produce a noticeably louder and more aggressive sound profile than the factory exhaust, especially under acceleration. The exact sound will depend on the vehicle it is fitted to.

Troubleshooting

Exhaust leak detected at connection points.

Ensure all clamps and V-band connections are securely tightened. Check gaskets for damage and replace if necessary. Verify all sections are correctly aligned before final tightening.

Unusual rattling or vibration noise.

Check that the exhaust system has adequate clearance from the vehicle's chassis, suspension components, and bodywork. Ensure all hangers and mounting brackets are secure and correctly positioned.

Significant reduction in performance compared to expected gains.

Verify that the primary catalytic converter is functioning correctly and is not blocked. Ensure there are no other exhaust leaks upstream of the Scorpion system. Confirm correct installation and component fitment.

Exhaust system does not pass MOT.

Confirm that the primary catalytic converter has been retained and is functioning correctly, as this system is designed to work with it. Check for any unintended modifications or leaks that could affect emissions readings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significant potential for power and torque increase.
  • Durable construction using high-grade T304 stainless steel.
  • Maintains road legality and MOT compliance.
  • Lifetime guarantee provides long-term value and peace of mind.
  • Variety of tailpipe styles to customize vehicle appearance.

Cons

  • May require professional installation for optimal fitment.
  • Non-resonated design can result in a louder, more aggressive exhaust note, which might not be desired by all users.
  • Specific vehicle applications may have variations in system coverage (e.g., from secondary catalyst back).
  • Potential for increased exhaust drone at certain RPMs due to the non-resonated configuration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This exhaust system is designed as a 'cat-back' or 'secondary cat-back' replacement, meaning it fits onto the existing catalytic converter and replaces the components from that point rearward.

  1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and supported. Allow the original exhaust system to cool completely.
  2. Removal: Carefully unbolt and remove the original exhaust sections starting from the catalytic converter.
  3. Installation: Fit the Scorpion system components, starting with the section closest to the catalytic converter. Use the provided hardware and ensure all connections are secure.
  4. Alignment: Adjust the system for proper clearance and alignment before final tightening.
  5. Tailpipe Fitting: Attach the chosen Scorpion tailpipe(s).

Professional installation is recommended for optimal fitment and safety, especially if you are unfamiliar with exhaust system work.

Compatibility:

This specific model (SMNS001) is designed for particular vehicle makes and models. Always verify fitment for your exact vehicle year, make, and model before purchase. Some vehicles may have multiple Scorpion system options available, differing in back-box configuration or tailpipe style. Ensure this 'Non-Resonated' version meets your sound preference requirements.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the exhaust system regularly with mild soap and water. For stainless steel, use a dedicated automotive stainless steel cleaner to maintain its shine and prevent discoloration. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the system for any signs of damage, leaks, or loose fittings. Check the condition of the welds and mounting points.
  • Corrosion: While T304 steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions (like road salt) can eventually affect its appearance. Regular cleaning helps mitigate this.
