Scorpion Titanium Turbo-Back Exhaust Installed (TT-RS)

**dogdrive** · 05-15-2012 04:29 AM

First of all, I would like to thank Mike @ Forge Motorsport for all the help to get my hands on this gangsta exhaust! And Four Season Tuning for the installation!

This system is a cat'ed and resonated Scorpion Titanium Turbo-Back.
The exhaust is super light and the build quality is just WOWW!!!
Installation was a bjtch since we had to take the driveshaft out in order to get to the downpipe.
Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to do comparison weight between the Scorpion Ti and stock exhaust, oh wellz...

Anyways, enough talking... Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

The Car

RACEKOR status?

Big @$$ stock exhaust

Finished!

welcome to the club, it looks great!. The scorpion is about 20kgs lighter than stock.

in for sound clips...or you can just bring it to meet up with me when I am out there.

Did this system require any ECU tuning?? It looks SICK!!!

Keen to hear some sound clips!

**dogdrive** · 05-31-2012 04:36 PM

Thanks for the kind word guys. I will take some video when I have some time.

ECU tuning is required for any exhaust system with high-flow cat.
I don't have ECU tuning on mine just yet (still shopping around to see the best to my needs) BUT I do have a 02 sensor spacer installed in order to avoid CEL.

Interesting... Do you think that by doing that, you may be causing any possible future missfires or anything that can either be negative in the long run or see any immediate effects (i.e. loss in power, engine not running smoothly etc)?

Don't think it would cause any problem.
I have had the same 02 sensor spacer on my 1.8T GTI daily for over 3 years now and the car is driven 100+ miles daily, no problem whatsoever.

hmmmm... I just don't want to screw around with my ECU so early in my warranty

That's exactly the same issue that I'm dealing with as well.
I want to chip the car, but at the same time I kind of don't want to.
This is probably why I'm lagging in deciding which software to go for

HOT DANG!!!

Good to see I'm not the only one..

How is it with the turbo-back?? We need to hear it man!! Also, how much $$$?

Keep us all posted

Hahaa ya.
Honestly I'm waiting to see when APR is gonna come out with 100 octane file for our car.
When I chip my car, I'm also going to add water-meth injection as well.

$$$ wise is actually comparable to miltek race TBE, just a tad more on the Scorpion.
But weight saving wise, I think I shaved a lot more with the Scorpion Ti.
And I will get around to taking video when I have time. Work has been keeping me really busy as of late.

I'm assuming that there are different version of Scorpion exhausts? I thought I remembered one with a valve that closed and opened like the 08 R32's?

Removed on request.
It is not for the whole world to see.

WOW,

so I take it that was a custom job in order to use the stock OEM flapper?

do you have a thread linky that goes into more detail for Jonny C's exhaust?

This man is my RS god!!!!!

Sorry, I'm just not feeling that for a road going car. I'd never be able to live that on a road trip or as a DD. I'll stick with Switchie and enjoy both worlds.

Yupz, everyone has their opinions. You can stick with your switchie and others can go loud on other options.
My TT-RS is a garage queen so I can careless if it's loud inside the cabin

Yeah my poor baby doesn't move 6/7 days a week.. So heartbreaking.. The rest of the week I'm trying the work car - Subaru Forester... I do have a lot of fun with the Forester... shame it's not an XT and I can't modify it! LOL

Yours looks great. I was commenting on Jonny C's.

Would not invest in a titanium exhaust, any pipe work will just do.
