How long is my product guaranteed for?
As long as you are the original purchaser and the exhaust is fitted to the vehicle for which it is intended then our motorcycle, scooter & cat-back car exhausts are covered by a lifetime anti-corrosion and manufacturing defect warranty in most markets. (Check with the distributor for your country) High flow sports catalysts are covered by a 2 year warranty.

Will a product with a catalyst pass an MOT?

I need a copy of the EC Approval Certificate, how do I get one?
A copy of the EC approval is supplied with the exhaust at the time of purchase if applicable and only for markets where it’s required. If you are the original purchaser but have lost the document you can contact the dealer you purchased the exhaust from with supporting documentation and they will provide you with a copy. If you are not the original purchaser or have purchased the exhaust via a dealer/store in a country where EC approval isn’t applicable then a replacement document can be supplied for a fee by contacting sales@scorpion-exhausts.com

-
What's the difference between resonated & non-resonated?
The main difference is whether a silencer is included or omitted in the centre section of the exhaust. A non resonated system doesn’t include a centre silencer so will be significantly louder than the standard exhaust whereas a resonated system includes a centre silencer so will only be slightly louder than the standard exhaust.
-
Will my car need a remap after fitting a Scorpion Exhaust?
If fitting a catalyst/DPF back system then no modifications are required. A remap will be required when fitting turbo back high flow sports catalyst or turbo back catalyst replacement pipe. Secondary high flow sports catalyst and secondary catalyst replacement pipes do not require mapping so will run on standard settings.
