Road Legal vs Track Only: Know What You're Buying
Not every Scorpion product is meant for the road, and it matters which one you pick. Cat-back and GPF-back systems keep the catalyst or particulate filter in place, staying within EC type approval and road legal for daily use. De-cat and sports cat downpipes are a different story: these remove or bypass the catalyst entirely and are built for off road or motorsport use only. Fitting one will stop your car passing an MOT, so it's worth being clear on which category a part falls into before ordering, particularly if the car needs to stay road legal.
Choosing Between Resonated and Non-Resonated
Where a system offers both, resonated and non-resonated versions give you a choice over how loud the car sounds day to day. Non-resonated systems are the louder option, popular where a more aggressive tone matters more than motorway comfort, while resonated versions tone that down for regular use. This choice comes up across the range, from the Audi TT RS Mk3 to Cupra Leon models fitted with a GPF.
Fitment Across Current and Older Models
Scorpion's range covers everything from small hatches like the VW Up GTI to larger performance models such as the Audi RS6 and RS7 C8, with stainless steel pipework throughout. Our workshop in Irlam can fit whichever system suits your car, and can talk through the road legal versus track only distinction before you commit to anything.
