Scorpion Catback. Resonated or Non Resonated?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, previously posted here about a muffler delete set up but due to some bolt complications on my existing axle back, I've decided to take a look at some catback systems.

I've looked into the popular ones such as Cobra, Miltek and Invidia but Scorpion has caught my eye.

I really like the Ascari tailpipes and they're also on sale! 518 for stainless steel tail pipe and 645 for the Ascari tailpipe, it's definitely cheaper than most other brands out there at the moment.

Just wanting to know if anyone has any experience with Scorpion Exhausts as I've not found much about them online. I also want to know whether a non-resonated will be much louder than a resonated or if it's just  the tone that's changed. I don't particularly want the exhaust to be obnoxiously loud.

I have the Scorpion although I can't remember for the life of me remember if it's resonated or not! I'll try and take a look later. Mine is the full stainless. When I had a set of TD UEL's it's was a good volume, not too loud but a nice rumble. I've got the stock mainifold back on now and it still gives a good sound over stock. It all depends what sort of sound you are looking for.

I cannot speak for the '86 Scorpion item, but I bought a catback from them for my RX8 some years ago (via Larkspeed I think). It was well made, and they manufactured the "prodrive" exhausts for a particular special edition of that car.

Resonators do quiet the total volume, but their job is to damp specific frequencies. Going unresonated opens you up to potential drone at certain RPMs. This item has fairly stout looking mufflers so it might be ok unresonated.
