Scorpion street extreme
Just fitted mine today.
It sounds fantastic. Took literally 20 minutes to fit. Look at instructions. Measure 40mm from weld behind collector box on exisitng exhaust. Cover bike in sheet. Cut exhaust with 9" angle grinder Unbolt old silencer from foot peg hanger. File burrs off cut end. Fit new link pipe with larger pipe clamp already over pipe. Slide smaller clamp on link pipe. Slide new end can onto link pipe. Slide plastic (bit dissapointing that) can support strap onto can. Bolt support strap onto pillion peg hanger using exisitng bolt. Tighten support strap bolt and clamp bolts. Can is very well made and baffle can be removed easily with a single allen key. (Well actually a single allen bolt, obviously a single allen key would remove many thousands of allen bolts; there aren't thousands of allen bolts just the one. So to be clear; a single allen bolt that could eb removed with any amount of alllen keys you wish to use even though one would be sufficient as long as its the correct size which i dont know as I haven't taken mine out yet even though it only requires the removeal a single allen bolt) It sounds fantastic. Apologies for mobilr phone pics and terriers Last edited by skeetly; 28-03-08 at 03:33 PM. Reason: Its raining and I'm bored. |

Re: Scorpion street extreme
I haven't actually taken the baffle out yet at all
The sound is absolutley lovely. I've been looking for hills to come down in so I can put it into low gear and just let it over run. I may have actually wet myself a couple of times............ |

Re: Scorpion street extreme
Ive sold aload of these at work and a general mistake people make when fitting this exhaust, is when they have cut the original HUGE pipe off and slip the new street extreme on they generally forget bout the 4 inch deep baffle packing in the collector pipe! Whip that out and you will have a new sound experience!!

Re: Scorpion street extreme
Ye if you ever get the urge to wip it out a good hammer and small chissel or even a screwdriver will get it out! Its very soft mesh that powers to nothing when you tap it. When you have scraped it out any remains in your collector can be blasted out. Dont worry no harm will come to your bike, then simply re-fit your new street extreme. Gaze in wonder the next time you ride it!! Just think of the baffling as a restriction.
Best Regards Scott |

Re: Scorpion street extreme
For completness; trying to remove the piece of iiner baffle is not so easy.
I ended up having to leave it in there as it is welded inside at the same spot the the collector box is linked to the original link section. My attempt at removing it slightly distorted the cut edge and further distorted it while trying to straighten it all back up again. This caused the scorpion link pipe to be a right pain to refit while previously was a nice fit. Mines an 03 with only 5k miles on the clock maybe on an older/high mileage bike there is sufficient corrosion to allow its removal but beware if its a fresher bike. |
