    Brand New Scorpion Systems for the 5 GT Turbo

    Ok so who would be interested in a brand new (not manufactured yet) Scorpion System?

    I need 10 names before scorpion will look at it. They will knock them up though for us.

    Not wanting to put a downer on the thread but i cant see great demand due to loads of good used full scorpion systems for sale at £50 or less.

    I'd only ever be interested in a new Scorpion if its the same sound as the original ones they did.

    I've got one of the first generation Scorpions on old whitey, and it's true, you can't beat the sound/burble that they make.

    It doesn't rattle or knock either. Win!

    Only thing I'd change/going to change is the tailpipe diameter, as the 3.5" outlet on an otherwise o.e car looks a bit daft. Saying that, it sits nicely in the bumper cut-out, and doesn't poke out attacting attention/tripping people over like some gtt tailpipes I've seen, so maybe I'll leave it as is.
