Scorpion rs192 cat to silencer fitment?

[xr2racer]

Having some trouble fitting this as the cat and the silencer pipe don't seem to fit together very well. Got it as well lined up as possible and the clamp as tight as possible but still getting a leak. Seems to leak at the point where the bolt joins the clamp as theres obviously a gap there that doesnt cover the edge of both pipes.

Not really sure how to sort it. Bit of exhaust paste fix it or are there better exhaust clamps around?

you need to use exhaust paste to assemble it, i take it you havn't?

mate mines the same, must be a design problem, after trying lots of bodges ive decided to get the £70 together for the rs 192 de cat! tried different clamps, paste, silicone you name it ive tried it. best fix so far was a new clamp from renault (stonger than aftermarket ones) which is £6, and silicone. any more probs pm me as i fit exhausts and the like for a living

Or get a new clamp?

 

[Gt rob]

read the thread did we? me thinks not

 

[Gouldy]

Yea I did. I had this problem with my rs192 that I fitted last month. My solution was to get a new clamp off eBay that was an an exact fit. Now mine doesn't blow.

So happy days.

i have this problem from my scorpion de-cat and standard exhaust pipe...will a new clamp sort this to?

 

[Trev.]

also gouldy..what clamp did you get?​

 

[xr2racer]

Heres what the difference in size is between the centre pipe and cat, is this normal?

Because the flare on the centre pipe is so small a clamp just doesnt seem to grip it properly and slips off.

 

[Gt rob]

same as me mate, is the rs 192 decat a perfect fit/ cure for this?

 

[Trev.]

thats my problem....so i need a new clamp!

That flare is so obviously too small a diameter I'm really surprised that Scorpion doesn't simply change how they manufacture it so they end up with a flare the right size.

Scorpion are supposed to be a professional outfit.

 

[Gouldy]

either the scorpion has not enough flare on it or your cat side of the joint has old exhaust paste on it. it looks like a combination of both tbh

 

[Martin_172]

must be a dodgey batch that, the one i fitted a few weeks ago was sound, and looked different from that one above ^^

Just bought an RS192 second hand and hoping I won't have too much trouble when it comes to fitting.

Could someone recommend me a cat-centre section exhaust clamp (something like the ones below ok?)

Also... is Holts Firegum cement any good? Or better of with Loctite Sealant etc....? (again recommendations please)

Cheers One last one, any idea on clamp size or best place to find one?

 

[syko6288]

Any motor factors will have them but cant remember size

 

[Wick]

Cheers mate, much appreciated!

i had this for months and months. i bought an rs192 and again it was the same, cat to centre join. turned out to be that the cat had a very small crack on the top of the flange join. second hand cat and it is silent.

Apologies for resurrecting this, but it's this thread that has confirmed to me that I appear to be missing a clamp on my Scorpion exhaust altogether!

As you can see, it seems to be stuck together with just paste.

I'm guessing something like the following is missing?

Yes mate.. although i am impressed thats held togther at all.

 

[essee]

Thanks, man. Just ordered a clamp. Pray to the exhaust Gods to not let it fall off!

 

[Jekyll]

Yeah, that's some well to hold it tbh. The clamp you ordered will do the job better though
