Scorpion Launch VW Scirocco 1.4, 2.0 TSi and Vauxhall Tigra Exhausts

Scorpion has released two VW Scirocco exhausts and a new Vauxhall Tigra product onto the market. The Derbyshire-based firm had already released a version for the Scirocco TDI model last year, so the latest fitment is designed to appeal to the purist petrolhead, covering both the 1.4 and 2.0 versions.

After a considerable amount of road and dyno testing, the new system is available as a direct bolt-on replacement to the OEM part. Bolting directly to the rear of the factory catalyst pipe, the 70mm system is available in two fitments. Either a centre and rear box for those that want maximum extraction with minimum intrusion, or for those that prefer a sportier tone, a Sports bypass pipe is available, leaving just the rear box to handle silencing duties. One of the biggest advantages over competitor's designs is that Scorpion's engineers have invested considerable time in studying the flatter profile of the factory rear box when designing theirs.

According to the company, the new Scirocco fitment offers additional power and throttle response gains of between 5 and 10 per cent. Also finalised, but still undergoing full global approval, is the firm’s high-flowing sports cat that, which is designed to bring significant performance gains whilst retaining full legality in all markets.

The folding roof model has been popular since its launch – but has sadly had little in the way of tuning parts created specifically for it. The new Scorpion system hopes to redress the balance somewhat and integrates easily with the OEM system, allowing owners to upgrade both the centre and back box for ultimate performance gains – or, if preferred, just the rear silencer on its own.

As with any roofless car, sound is all-important, and here the Scorpion system is designed to capitalise. According to the company, “the note is sporty, without being intrusive.” A choice of tail finishers is available. Either the 90mm Daytona or twin-walled ‘Evo’ Prices start at £191.50 for the back box or £335.50 for the full cat-back system.

Each system is fabricated at Scorpion’s UK factory from aerospace quality T304 Stainless Steel and carries a lifetime guarantee.
