I have a really thick rubber boot mat to help with droning. It really does cut the noise down quite a bit.
like this stuff: http://www.martins-rubber.co.uk/products/electrical-safety-matting/
I bought some 1 inch thick stuff like above , took the boot mat out of the clio and layed it on top of the rubber mat and used it as a template to cut an exact copy of the boot. I now have it sitting on top of the existing boot mat and the other benefit is that stuff doesnt slide about in the boot as much.

The 192 was a shite fit, the 2 pipes don't come out straight, they come out more of a 5oclock angle..

Thanks I deffo need this or something similar!
So there's a lot of people who have had problems with the fitment of scorpion exhausts. Has nobody complained? £404 to me is a hell of a lot of money to me not to have something fit right. I've emailed scorpion about the problems I've had with pictures also. As we shouldn't have to be cutting boxes and bending pipes ourselves after spending that much money.

Is this bracket hitting the heat shield?
Thanks I will have a look.
Brackets rubbing against the bottom of the car won't be causing your problems.
The exhaust is boomy and loud, it's the way the exhaust is - it just doesn't have enough silencing material in it to do the job.
Only option is to chuck the backbox and try to find a decent condition standard backbox instead.

No, it's because the tyre pressures are down a few psi, that's lowering the car and creating a audible vortex beneath the car, which in turn in amplifying the scorpions exhaust note..
I also hear that scorpion exhausts get louder when the tide is out.
If you're having an issue fitting it fire and email over to technical@scorpion-exhausts.com.
Our technical man is on holiday but will be back 10th august.
Noise wise the RS192 is a lot quieter than the SRN019 due to it having two rear silencers

There's also a review of the difference between the SRN109D and RS192 in the group buy section of the forum done by @Coops Turbo

Scorpion are pony, you'll be replacing it again in 2years once it's cracked to s**t and had it welded twice.
They come with a lifetime guarantee. Although mine has been on my car 18 months / 25k miles and I've had 0 issues.

one of the lucky few my friend ! Life time gaurantee if you send the thing off... I'll have a guess most people forget ( including myself) went piper second time round, double the price but much better quality. Didn't send that one off either !

Thomas- I emailed them the other day and someone (Tom? Not sure if you now I've seen your username) spoke to my partner earlier today and the options I've been given is either drive my car from Essex to Derbyshire for someone to try to re-fit it. Or remove the exhaust and send it upto HQ for them to test the fitting.
Derby is miles away from me and I can't afford to go all that way. And I can't remove my exhaust and pay to send it to them as I can't afford to send it up there and have no exhaust until it's been tested and checked etc I need a car for work & childcare.
So I'm pretty stuffed either way
Did people say the rs192 fits ok? Are the two backboxes joined together?

I bought a scorpion SRN019d as well, it was second hand but decent condition. Same thing, it sits so bent, my right tip is in more than my left, I've sealed it 3 times now and still blows, all sorts of problems. To get it to sit right at the tail pipes, I figured yesterday I need to meet the manifold at an angle and have it all not sitting straight. I didn't think much of it but your situation is pretty much the same as mine so its not just me. I also have a standard exhaust with a nearly new middle box which I'm selling which may be of interest to you if you decide to get rid of the scorpion.

I have this exhaust when I brought my 182 mine was wonky. I know you have probably checked this but the two rear mounts have a kind of rubber web in them with holes for rear exhaust mounts. When the rubber webs are old they perish which causes the rear pipes to sag and twist. If they have fitted your new exhaust to old rubbers chances are changing these will pull it straight.
