Original exhaust really need to be cut off?

[James17]

Hey guys

So my new exhaust is arriving today and fancied fitting it myself, question though. Does the original really need to be cut off? That's a bit annoying

Thanks James

Depending..
What exhaust did you get? Full?(including manifold)
After silencer? Pre/post cat?

 

[James17]

Bought a scorpion catback and decat!

Doesnt need to be cut off - you can drop your rear axel if you like...

 

[Micah]

As Dave says, that's the only way to get it all off in one. The Scorpion comes with instructions on where to cut, it isn't a big deal to re-attach if the drone starts to kill your hearing

 

[James17]

Haha oh I'm sure it'll be fine, it can't be that bad can it? Damn it I'm not ordering another exhaust haha I assume the scorpion obviously goes on without dropping the axle?

 

[Micah]

Yeah, comes in 3 parts.

Sweet man, I've ordered a decat pipe too. The noise shouldn't be an issue as I had a decat milltek on my 197

I had mine decatted and non-res scorpion... it sounded awesome but the drone was a killer, since switched to a res pipe and it's a lot better

So you've now got a resonated scorpion system with decat ? I've seen a video of that set up on youtube and it sounds bloody brilliant!

Yeah that's what I've got on currently and it sounds awrsomenwithout the droning!

 

[James17]

It was dispatched at 8am! Come one parcelforce! Haha

Great stuff, thanks for that info. Think that's the exact system i'll go for when I finally get round to changing the exhaust!

Nice one mate, thanks for the offer! When it comes to me ordering one (not just yet) I'll give you a shout and come have a listen.
