A Legacy of Performance
Scorpion’s roots lie in competitive motorsport, where their systems have powered championship-winning teams across BTCC, Mini Challenge, and the Isle of Man TT. This track-to-road philosophy means every exhaust benefits from race-proven technology, meticulous craftsmanship, and premium materials like T304 stainless steel and carbon fibre. Each system is dyno-tested, mandrel-bent for optimal flow, and backed by a lifetime anti-corrosion warranty, a testament to their confidence in durability and performance.
Understanding Scorpion's Exhaust Types
Scorpion offers several system configurations, each tailored to different goals and vehicle setups:
Cat-Back
- Replaces everything after catalytic converter to the tailpipes.
- Ideal for improved sound and flow without affecting emissions.
- Compatible with OEM downpipes and legal for road use.
GPF-Back
- Designed for newer vehicles fitted with a Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF/OPF).
- Connects after the GPF, enhancing sound while retaining emissions compliance.
- Often available in valved or non-valved formats for sound control.
Scorpion Predator
- The most aggressive setup, designed for maximum flow and acoustics.
- Features removed rear silencer, for maximum sound
Exhaust Options: Valved, Non-Valved, Resonated, Non-Resonated
Scorpion systems are available in configurations that let you fine-tune your car’s tone and behaviour:
Valved
- Uses OEM electronic valves to control sound output.
- Allows quiet cruising or aggressive tone depending on drive mode.
- Ideal for dual-purpose vehicles.
Non-Valved
- Deletes the valve for a consistent, sportier exhaust note.
- Simpler setup, often lighter and more affordable.
Resonated
- Includes silencers to reduce drone and refine acoustics.
- Recommended for daily drivers or long-distance use.
Non-Resonated
- Louder and more raw, with fewer restrictions.
- Popular among enthusiasts seeking maximum sound.
Downpipe Options: Sports Cat vs De-Cat
Scorpion downpipes are engineered to replace restrictive OEM units and unlock serious performance:
Sports Cat
- Features a high-flow 200-cell catalytic converter.
- Balances performance with emissions compliance (some models ECE-approved).
- Ideal for Stage 2 remaps and daily-driven cars.
De-Cat
- Removes the catalytic converter entirely.
- Offers maximum flow and sound, but not road legal in the UK.
- Best suited for track builds, not for road use
