After weeks of looking at old threads and talkig to other coupe owners I ordered a new Scorpion stainless steel exhaust today. I shopped around and got one from Proven Products (www.proven-products.co.uk Tel: 01822 613200) for £259 + £9 postage - pretty good deal I thought. I should have it for the weekend. Then the fun begins. The old exhaust looks fine with just a bit of rust around the back box. Just hope the Scorpion fits, as I've read mixed reports, mostly good though.

John at Proven products was very helpfull.

Remo,

Sounds good, I'll maybe take a run down to Dundee when you've got it fitted as Im still debating on getting a new exhaust at some point

No problems Craig. I'll get in touch. We can even meet half way to save you the journey. I have a mate in Johshaven I might be visiting week on Friday so we could possibly organise around that

Check this out. I got t from a thread which cosmograph started about the scorpion -

Sounds good, is the one you've ordered the same size as the one in that video?

That John is very good. In fact every one I spoke to at Proven were very helpful. You should have said that demon tweeks offered you the system cheaper, John offered me the scorpion system for £250 delivered. I didn't go for it in the end but still great company.

Thanks, I'm quite happy with what I paid, and yes it's good to find such a helpfull bunch. If the delivery goes as well I'll be recommending them. What did you go for?

I called motor sport world in Hamilton. They advertise 'we will beat any price'- they would not move from £264 + £12 post even though I told them about the £259 + £9 post.

Tartandude - I'm assumimg it is the same pipe as scorpion only do one kind for the coupe - Imola.

When i brought mine the imola was avalable in 3" & 4"

I've only every known the Scorpion cat-back be available as a 4" imola tailpipe, on the coupe. They might have stopped the 3".

I am talking 2 years ago so might well have, but 4" is better anyway

I don't know I'm always wary of having a tailpipe bigger than...

I think its 4". I'll let you know.

From Proven? it will be 4".

How did you get on with you Scorpion exhaust?, im thinking of ordering one too

Arrives today. They called me back to say they were out of stock. One was shipped today so I will have it fitted at the weekend. I'll feedback as soon as its on.

Fitted the Scorpion last night. The fitting was pretty easy, took about 45mins. The most time consuming bit was getting the axle stands in the right place and the awkwardness of working on a drive. The biggest problem was getting the old one off. It was a std Fiat one piece, I found it easier to cut it just before it looks over the back axle.

The Scorpion sound great, not too loud but a nice deep burble. I will need to Dremil the bumper this afternoon as the 4" tail pipe is touching the off side bottom corner of the bumper cut out.

I'll try and take some pictures at the weekend.

I'd recommend a Scorpion and buy it from Proven Products. they were the cheapest I could find and very helpful.

Pictures showing new exhaust and how close it is to the coil.
