If you can put on here your exhaust sound and your exhaust made?thanks!

 

Very loud, but I love it

Scorpion with no centre box

 

Same as that! Straight through from downpipe to backbox.

Its actually pretty quiet at idle and when pootling round but sounds like a jet fighter at full chat.

 

And me!

 

James, aren't the Scorpion systems restrictive?? only what i've heard, probably nonsense..

 

Maybe at like 550+ bhp, but I can't see a prob on mine which realistically is 400 max. It sounds good and hasn't fallen off yet so I'll leave it alone!

 

I just remember reading it somewhere i think, they're ok for around 400ish, but as you've said, once in the 550 plus not so good, mind you, at those power levels most probaly have custom ones fitted i'd say...

Getting my centrebox removed next week, just want to add some character to the car, it's TO quiet at the moment... and before anyone disses me, i know it's CHAVVY............

 

here my old Saph Cossie fitted with a GGR 3" system with 3 boxs lovely and quiet at lickover and sounded just right on boost without too much in car noise

I've thought about removing the center box as it's dented to fuck anyway, do people see any increase in power with this removed??

 

i removed mine a while ago and although not a lot different on tickover was way too loud hammering it... im sure it felt less responsive too.. had a smaller box back in the middle with a larger mongoose backbox and is much better....

 

videos mates,put some videos sounds from your cossies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

mines a blue flame systme with a 3" tail pipe...it goes huuuummmmmmmmmmmm in a deep toned manner

 

Really?? so it felt down on throttle respone then?? Hmm, interesting that..

I'm just wondering whether it'd need the map checking too, might make it lean or summet..

 

Mines a Mongoose with centre box removed 3 4 inch tailpipe fook me its bllody loud on tickover its realy realy burbly i love it but sometimes gets on my nerves a bit

 

Tony,

Did you notice any loss in performance woth yours removed, or was it removed when you bought it??

 

it might have just been the noise making it sound/ feel more sluggish felt sort of lazy...?
was too loud for me and im not that old yet either...
the old exhaust was scorpian with tiny back box tho... new mongoose backbox is twice the size...

 

It was removed before i got the car mate , but the sound is simply superb if you like the turbo burble sound you will love it with the box removed

 

Get your mates or misses do video a clip for me then Tony... on full chat............

 

I'm considering removing mine too, might aswell seeing as the speed bumps seem to be trying anyway.

 

ill try mate, on the parade lap in combe mates misses was in the their car and when i floored it she had to shut the window quick time as it hurt her ears (she was trying to get some pics heres a couple



about to lauch



ill try get a vid

Tony

 

my normal sierra sound clip,ahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaha!!!!!!!!

 

mines got a scorpion with no front box.it looks almost brand new .bort it 4 90quid off ebay.its fitted to car but havent started it just yet cos its got an electrical problem.cant wait to hear wot it sounds like.my old orange s2 escort had one on it and on boost it proper ripped through the exhaust.do u think the cos will sound similar????

 

It will be like your s2 mate but much much better believe me

 

Here it is Staffi this is it on idle not got one on full chat yet

 

And one just so you get the idea of the exhaust rumble when you rev it

 

Tony,

Cheers for that fella, yours sounds alot louder than mine on idle.. especially that last clip...

I'm defo having mine removed for sure.. i need noise after coming from the Evo..

 

I wish mine had similar power to yours mate

 

excellent cant wait to hear it.take it ,it will be ok 4 mot noise regs???

 

yeah as long as your sapph does not have a cat installed from factory

 

Lol,

It's a handful Tony believe me.. great fun though...

 

What are the standard exhausts for cossies? Did they come from the factory with mild steels systems and how quiet were they. Did they have large centre box and back box?

 

That was interesting to listen to, my Scorpion is about the same noise on idle, WITH the centre box in, but noisier on revving, anyone got a vid clip of a Scorpion with centre box removed please ?
tabetha

 

and me!

 

to my knowledge they came as standard in mild steel with a twin centre box and backbox.

 

Two pipes with centre boxes either side of the prop, joining up at the single box at the rear. Like a pea shooter, good for stage 1 and no more I think.

 

mines a custom one built be london stainless exhaust

 

my old saff had the middle box cut out .. was ok on idle but when going for it was noisey as fook ,,couldnt even hear the radio over it..no chance of passing noise regs at donnington fookin horrible ,, i put a new middle section back in..sounded much better imo

 

Staffi/Pete,

I've heard they are too, but not for 350bhp, so we love it

You could feel a slightly improved throttle responce after having it removed, or so it seemed anyway

You can ask markyd3 off here about the noise if you want a non-biased opinion, and he took his scorpion off cos he's :ghey: and doesn't want it too loud

Him and Pops were in the Saff and overtook me on a bypass local to us, and I wound down the window in my van, and my ears SERIOUSLY hurt, the noise was fooking AWESOME!! It soon disappeared off into the sunset too, they'd got to the end of the bypass and turned around, floored it back the other way before I'd got to the end of it

 

Staffi ,scorpion exhaust are restrictive because of the middle box,has a reduced bore,have removed the middle box from my saff,dont know what exhaust is on it,but sounds a lotter sharper

cheeRS stu

 

Lol @ James....


Stu,

So basically then when you put it like that, removing the centrebox on ANY system will help, cus in theory you're making it less restrictive yes??

I always wonder whether it effects the mapping of the car, well the fuelling side of things..
