Hurricane Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Just put these on the other day. I'm lov'in the sound! Deep, thunderous, basso rumble at idle... and rip on top, yet not raspy like D&D's... louder than a Yosh. Nice ear pleasing tune. Bought 'em at www.pipecity.com Megan :babe:, over there, is really sharp... it's been a real good experience. Went with the polished stainless steel. With a lifetime warranty... I'm real pleased. I like the fact that they came with a sticker for me to put on the side of the pipe, if I choose. Don't really care for the manufactures name rivited to the side of the cans, even if stickers do make the bike faster. But, the pipes do have a nice engraved "Scorpion" on the pipe end caps. I like. Tell ya what, though, these pipes make the engine more responsive than stock pipes ever could. :bike: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 They look good. I wish my Yosh were a little louder. Were they priced about the same as the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motobeagle Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Beautiful pic. I like the reflection of the grass in the can. Good eye. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Great looking pipes. I am total agreement about names being riveted on the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The XXorcist Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 They look sharp :wink: I kinda like my Leo Vince name plate after I rivited it on. But also had the stickers as a option also. Buddy of mine did the same as you and left them plain. Kinda makes the bike look like it has stock exhaust if you didn't know any better :cool: I love my leo's nice throaty sound. Best money I have spent on my bird so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebird Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 How Much did you pay for the Scorpions, Including delivery. I think I might get a pair for my bird. Pipe City seem to be the cheepest. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 How Much did you pay for the Scorpions, Including delivery. I gave out $520.00 US Bills for 'em. Price includes delivery. I was unable to find those specific pipes anywhere else cheaper. Although, I didn't do an entirely exhaustive search, (pun intended) but, I did find them more expensive at allot of other places. I love the sound and feel good about the material and how their constructed. They rock. And I am pleased. :smokin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebird Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Thanks, I think i'll go for it. they do seem to be cheeper than ahywhere else. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjclark7 Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Hurricane, how do they sound compared to two brothers? deeper would you say. i tried to find a sound file but on scorpions site but they don't have cbr1100, the closest is the vfr. thanks. kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Posted March 20, 2004 Author Share Posted March 20, 2004 The sound rocks. They don't have a baffle, it's straight through. Most definitely deep. I think they're a tad deeper than Two Bro's without being raspy anywhere in the rpm range. And better looking. I have one sound bite I did with my digital camera from a cold start with a few blips through warm up and a steady idle when warm... but it was 70mb so I didn't post it. Besides, it' not in stereo so you wouldn't get the full effect. Definitely deeper when they sing together rather than through a single exhaust. I've no regrets... at all. :smokin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx7.62 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Nice looking pipes!! I just ordered a set in Carbon fiber, can't wait for them to get here. Can't wait for riding weather too!! Robb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXTi Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I think you out bid me for these mufflers on e-bay. :???: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx7.62 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Sorry...I really wanted them. It was either those, or order a set of Yoshi slipons from streetfightersusa.com for 379. Since I read this review of the scorpions, I went this way. Oddly enough, after the auction ended, I went to a local shop and stubbled across a used XX with Yosh Zyclone slip ons. I have to say it sounded pretty awesome. Cant wait for warmer weather though! Robb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Phalanx7.62.you got a great price on them, I called and the best they can do is $550.00 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 They look great ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx7.62 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hmm... www.streetfighters-usa.com still shows the Yosh RS3 Zyclone slip ons for $370. I called them a while back to confirm, and they said yes. Maybe they changed their mind. I can't wait to get my Scorpions fitted and hear them.

jimakazi Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 :oops: I passed up on an oportunity to get some stainless scorpians last year - at dealer cost [1/2 retail] Dealer ordered the wrong pipes and didn't want to pay to ship them back to England from New Zealand. As no one had them I didn't know if there were any good. :roll: Now I do So aaaarrrrrggghghhhhh! :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Could have been that I told them I had 2002 model the 370.00 price is for 1997-2001 models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie_xx Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Shouldn't make a difference with slip-ons....... Cheers, I had 2002 model the 370.00 price is for 1997-2001 models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
