What’s my Scorpion exhaust actually like to live with?!

[@markking7540]

Purchased and fitted one of these after watching this video, agree with everything you say, fantastic bit of kit, however I have went with the non valved unit, my neighbours hate me anyway haha...

[@tomfarrelly1231]

I've just ordered this exhaust and installed the dreamscience ultima2+ map. absolutely transforms the car. love your videos and your Instagram content.

[@CarFocused]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@simontaylor3211]

Sounds epic Gary. Like you say, the video probably doesn’t do it justice. Cold start sounds brutal 💪🏻

[@FezzaYT]

Oh that's very tempting!

[@Flare_TM]

I'm in love with this! I think you should take it all the way, no half-measures! (I know I'm not the one paying the bills like!)

[@mohammedbostan9467]

sounds a lot better than the stock exhaust looks better built too.

[@Parallax62]

Oh man that sounds wicked! Nice passes bud. Kewl vid as always.

[@Stringfellow-xo6do]

Ah the cold start fart....love it.

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

Does sound good and the valve can be annoying at times I also have the none valve piece but as you say you want it less loud some times ie when my dog is in the car 😀 brillant content Gary cheers steve 😀

[@ianberry1713]

Sounds fantastic Gary. Stage 2? Yeah, go for it 😉

[@normydan]

I have to say, makes my M140i sound like a little malnutritioned kitten! Sounds 👌🏻 💥💥💥

[@normydan]

Car Focused mine is a newer one with a PPF filter so can’t do much at the moment as it throws up error codes. But I have had the back box and rear resonator modded by PCW and it now sounds like it should.... but not like yours lol

[@powellj27]

Good Video Gary. Always good to see a video from you. We need more. That said I would go for the sports cat, rather than de cat. I would consider changing the intercooler and hoses if you do consider going for stage 2. I'm still considering stage 2 as I am very happy with the RS but like you said modding the car never stops. My remus cat back has made the car so much more enjoyable and yes I do agree the car is an asbo on wheel when in sport/race mode. I do tend to drive the car at night in normal mode due to how loud the pops are and to show consideration to my neighbours and community hence why i went for the valved system. Cold starts are not too bad for me, but if you are getting up in the early hours then it could be, however that said I do not think its as loud as a scooter/moped to be honest.

[@stephenhaywood8998]

On my first rs I had a mountune v3 catbackexhaust valved system with FPM 375 on the rs edition I have now I am going with the scorpion cat back exhaust valved system and I also have the FPM375 on my rs this exhaust sounds nice 👌

[@UK300Prodrive]

My Impreza is full decat, also no silencers, no resonators - nothing. Best thing I did to it !

[@michaelsch3219]

Sounds great! Not quite as exotic sounding as my Focus 1.5 Tdci though 😂 I wish! I do have a Punto GT (currently in storage) but I have kinda given up pouring money into keeping it alive! Next car will definitely be back to proper turbo, but maybe something current like the Focus ST. Anyway, thanks for another video!

[@Alan1978M]

I have the Focus ST3 in stealth grey and would like to upgrade my exhaust but i like the look of the standard exhaust tips

[@jaynosowsky9708]

Should of went with cobb !! Cobb sounds so much better!! That exhaust does sound better then stock forsure!

[@ram86rs10]

Iv got a decat with the ultima 3 map and it is an animal transforms the car into beast mode so much power

[@ram86rs10]

Car Focused yes m8 its incredible if you were local you could have a drive of it.from the ultima 2+ to the ultima 3 what a diffrence the boost comes in perfect quite savage but in a good way i love it

[@ram86rs10]

I live near newcastle if you ever pass give me a shout and you can have a test drive of it if you dont get it done before

Any proof or times or scalps??

[@gerrard8djc]

[@davidnewton8586]

Yes get spots cat I'd like to see what your thoughts were on the DS3 map 👍

[@hdmk213]

Have you thought about an oil catch can and revised breather plate? Should reduce carbon build up on the intake valves and keep the engine sweet for years to come...

[@robc9136]

Thats it.. I cant take it. Have to take mine for a quick run now :) I also find the bangs are so loud they make the worst of the tailgaters back right off!

[@danielpeters9296]

Yes! I love doing this even with the stock exhaust.

[@brendanbeim3071]

Do you still have the sound symposer hooked up or is that all exhaust?

[@mikewhitaker5904]

Same question when listening from inside?

[@androidpg1535]

Would you say the scorpion exhaust is louder than straight piping the oem exhaust?

[@disturb3550]

Any annoying drone? Also, heard you could buy this system with a valved option included.

[@rosswilliams1911]

You should of had a turbo back with sport cat version of the scorpion system non res way more beast sound and bigger pops I've noticed

[@chrisnevergrowold330]

Screw sociable. Get a pro tune from stratified! Love the pops!

[@vinland98trance]

Hi. Love your videos, and finally I have bought a 2017 RS :) Just one question, you say there is a rasp, but hopefully there are no vibration with that ? Would love to put a Scorpion exhaust on mine. Cheers and keep up the good work !

[@vinland98trance]

And the exhaust sounds amazing!!

[@vinland98trance]

Perfect. Thanks for the quick reply!

[@blinkinbadger6164]

Great informative video once again I ordered the imap after watching yr video ( turned up today ) will upload 2+ map later, currently have mountune induction kit & recirc valve, so I’m guessing I’m going for the correct map ? Also love the sound the scorpion valved cat back makes, don’t think I’m brave enough to go for non valved ! Could the exhaust valve delete gizmo still be fitted to the scorpion exhaust Gary ?

[@toucan.n]

Have you done any other changes to your RS, I’m thinking of getting this exhaust for my Mk4 ST Focus.

[@stevefox6753]

have you taken the car back to Bedford with this exhaust yet? be interesting to see if you are over the noise limit

[@steve9087]

My car has the mountune exhaust. I know what you mean about the LOUD cold starts.

[@jasoncannadine1553]

Sounds soo good man 🔥🔥🔥 Also I think keep her as is for now until dare I say it you start considering getting rid ... And then modify and rekindle the love ❤️ (if you could ever fall out of love with this beast #dreamcar)

[@robertyates6913]

Nice Gary. So keeping it in Normal mode you still stop the pops and bangs like the stock car? Also I'm running the Ultima 3 map on a stock car with great results. However I'm not one to be running around on boost all the time.

[@UK300Prodrive]

Full decat. Do it and you’ll love it.

[@paulfowell5253]

I'd be very interested in the sports cat and Ultima 3 results compared with your current set up of standard cat and Ultima 2 plus. Thank you, very informative as usual.

[@jasoncrook1]

Will it pass a MOT ?

[@moonrider99]

Vs mountune? Which one?

[@macdawg6403]

Nice Vid.

[@lukeandchloe]

Definitely get a sports cat and the other map 👍

[@christopherwoodhead7021]

When are you going to put it on a dyno?

[@johnjackson12]

I would think twice before getting a sports cat. There's 2 possible disadvantages to them. 1 is they don't last more than a few years (depends how long u plan to keep the car if that matters) and 2 the exhaust will get a bit louder simply because it's more free flowing. Big plus is u get a bit more power with the stage 2 map. Probably around 10-15bhp which will tickle around the 400 mark

[@adamlowe1072]

Valve staying shut seems to be a common thing with older RS and is the valve actuator getting sticky and people use WD40 in it

[@bubbajones7486]

I bought the Scorpion exhaust system. I must wait 6 to 8 weeks for it!! Yaaaarrrr. . Question. When you had your stock exhaust on and you cold start your RS, does the Valve automatically open? I live in the US and my RS always cold starts with the valve closed, I see exhaust coming out of the right side of the exhaust.

[@DudesatRC]

I need Some advice here, i bought a new Fiesta st200, i like it very much but miss rear wheel drive so, Should i trade that for a focus rs or buy like a Gt86/Brz and maybe keep the Fiesta?

What size and material is that catback? And does your's only have the one big muffler?

[@leightoncrosby6190]

Do it get sports cat and sounds awesome 😎

[@MrLLamaxX]

hey dude, did you get any videos comparing the standard to the scorpion with the valve closed or is yours the non valved system

[@MrLLamaxX]

@@CarFocused cheers dude youve help make my mind up on what to get

[@LoveGod16]

You already were running Ultima 2 or 2+ before, that map is actually a stage 2 map too, so it will benefit of the sports cat, it will eliminate that throttle response lag. I don't see why you wouldn't add a sports cat. JUST DO IT! :)

[@LoveGod16]

@@CarFocused: Then run the normal Ultima 2. It is the map that puts the less stress on the turbo according to the Dreamscience guys. My thinking is that you don't want to go too far and stress the car :) So just add a sports cat to compliment the normal 2 map. My plan is to do your build + an intercooler(and pipes) and run the 2 on a Daily, and the 3 on special occasions :).

[@kevinem1566]

With Stock Downpipe or Scorpion Downpipe????

[@CarFocused]

This was with the standard downpipe

[@ianwalton5156]

Have you seen the numbers Ford are toting about for the new ST? Interesting, they claim a top speed of 155mph but apparently they've had prototypes over 170mph on the autobahn & even though they claim a slower 0-60 time than the RS they reckon it does the standing quarter faster. You'll have to get a test drive of one ASAP & get the video sorted

[@tayls08]

Why would you not move up to Ultima 3 map the way your car is at present? Sounds like you’d only do it if you had the turbo down pipe fitted?

[@tayls08]

To revert yours back to 2+ map did you have to bring it back to stock first or were you able to go straight to 2+ map?

[@Goodyearjfb]

100% go stage 2 💥💥💥💥💥

[@Gwen-the-e46]

Guessing youve had your car mapped with pops n bangs

[@CarFocused]

No extra pops and bangs my car did this as standard without the map too.

[@ianwalton5156]

When Barclays shit bank cough up what they owe me, (they keep saying it's in the post), then I might buy one but I've noticed F Types are getting very near the 2nd hand price of an RS. On another note a Mk2 passed me today & when he braked for the corner it was like an AK47.
