So the new V-Twin wants to breathe a little. When I was down picking up some gear the kind woman informed me that I should buy Scorpion when she saw me looking at pipes. I asked her why and she said because of the lifetime warranty. This is where I admit that my n00bosity has gotten the better of me. Before that night I had never heard of Scorpion but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. How do these stack up against the name I have heard, like Two Brothers and Yoshimura? Are these things the APC of pipes? Tried search a few other forums in addition to this one and couldn't get a straight answer of exhaust prefernece. Any help is much appreciated.

 

scorpions are fine; i don't think there are any "apc-esqe" pipes out there... the thing that makes me wonder is a lifetime warrenty; what could happen that would require one? obviously if the bike is dumped the the pipe mangled, they arent going to help....i had a 2 brothers cf s/o on my 03 sv, it sounded nice.

According to her they'll replace it regardless of reason. That's certainly a plus if it is in fact true.

ehhh, id ask them straight up first. doesn't sound practical... i.e. my bikes warrentied for a while but they aren't replacing cosmetic damage...

 

That is different...unless maybe Scorpion just wants people to see their pipes out on the street...almost like factory-cost advertising.

I've heard a sound clip of them online, and they sounded good I thought. Not quite Wolf, Two Brothers, D&D or Yoshimura good, but close.

d&d doesn't really have a sound, more like a drone...

Still one of my favorites, though. I like a rumble in the low range. I'm putting a dual-can on in the spring unless something comes along that makes me change my mind.

If I had the money, the full exhaust set from Wolf is one of if not the best sounds I've heard on an RR yet.

 

I have a scorpion on my bike and it sounds just fine, I like it.

Scorpion is no longer around now they changed their name to Akrapovic

their 600rr slip is possibly the only thing i like. i'd definitly consider one if i can keep the header section of my full exhaust and dump the s/o section.

According to my research, it was Skorpion who changed their name, not Scorpion. Evidently there's a difference.

 

Dude - let me know what kind of pipe you decide on. I'm also looking to upgrade the stock pipe on my SV, naturally.

 

Ive heard one on an R6, sounds like a micron. Not sure how it would sound on a twin.

Yeah, I read that a few days ago. I suppose I should just buy one and be done with it.

Skorpion/Akrapovic is Slovenian. Scorpion is British I believe.

 

I might buy a Scorpion pipe, just to show my undying loyalty to Mortal Kombat.

You'd better believe it. The last 4 vehicles I have owned (car, scooter, moped, bike) have all been yellow.

 

I was thinking of buying one also. I like the lifetime warranty

I'll do it if you do it.
