Scorpion Slip-on Std & Hi Mount Exhaust

[pfletch]

I ordered the Scorpion slip-on exhaust today from Pipe City, when it arrives will it have all the neceasary parts and instructions or will I have to purchase some sort of connector?

[ward]

you'll get everything you need, including 8 friggin stickers.

[Superdave]

stickers are cool :)

[gregbenner]

I ordered one on Wednesday. I'll sell my stickers cheap! From what I understand, all of them are removeable, which I didn't think was the case for all aftermarket exhausts.

Does anyone have any experience with Scorpion performance, particularly as compared to some of the other brands? I got the Scorpion because I liked the look and sound of the one on Nanducio's which I saw last Sunday (shit, my spelling sucks), i.e. ovel stainless with no "stickers". Plus, price to my door of $260.00.

My experience with other motorcycles/cars is that there is generally very little difference between slip ons, particularly for street riding . Maybe different with a full system flat out for 10-15 laps at a track.

[pfletch]

What would anyone suggest for cutting the stock pipe, I don't have a dremel tool, will a hacksaw, or a grinder do the job. or how about a sawzall?

[linp]

Wish I could merge these threads somehow:

A hacksaw works fine, remove the right front peg to give yourself room to work. Take your time, measure twice, cut once.

IMO on the street, on a SV, a slip-on works just as good as a full system. My Leo SBK slip-on, Dynojet and K&N got me 6.5 horsepower extra. 10% gain for about $450, not bad.

[motosapien]

Put some duct tape over the swingarm and brake res shield to protect them while you cut. Just one mis step with the saw will mar your parts. Hacksaw works fine though.

[gregbenner]

Those of you who report specific HP gains, assuming you are getting them dynoes, where and how much?

[EastcoastSVS]

i just ordered a scorpion slip-on and i was wondering how hard it would be to cut the pipe my self with a numerous amount of cutting tools at my disposal. i just want to really know how easy it is and if scorpion gives exact instructions. also how does it sound. thanks

[NorCal_SV650S]

Let's just say the Scorpion can sounds about as orgasmic as the sv cans go.:D

The cuttings is sort of hard, only because the exhaust pipe actually is quite thick, because of the inner screen, but with a nice sharp hacksaw blade and a few 5 minute crazy-man sessions, you will have it cut in no time.

The instuctions are quite clear and they give you a sleeve so you could put your stocker back on if you need to.

Make sure you plan on at least a stage 1 jet kit...the bike's response will be quite lumpy once the can goes on.

[Punkbrad]

Ask Ward - he put his on - its really easy according to what ive heard - just be careful abotu ward, hes all into raving & disco balls and such - he may be all spracked up on X.....

Yeah, once the X wore off and I stopped waving around the crazy glow sticks it was a pretty simple process. I thought the instructions sucked, but I may have got my pipe from another source that the guy with good instructions, My diagram was all cut off and I had to guess where to cut the thing. Yeah, but you just pretty much cut, test fit it all on, then bolt it up.
If it takes you more than an hour, or more than 3 beers I'll make fun of you. (unless it took me more than an hour....Sasquatch???)

easy, cheap, and fast I like my pipe like I like my lunches

Lumpy, schmumpy.

I've taken it as a challenge to get real "smooth" with my throttle hand.

I happen to enjoy the response of the throttle being entirely non-incremental like an on-off light switch! It makes for near suicidal cornering. It's fun! :D

[quickstop]

sawzall,5 min. no sweat, hacksaw 15 min,much sweat

[GRich4u]

I put a scorpion pipe on mine and love it.. The cutting is easy. well with a hacksaw it takes more than 5 minutes. I had an air compressed cutting saw and it literally took 5 minutes. If you want to come by and try it out let me know..
Gar'ron
:cool:

[EastcoastSVS]

i just got my scorpion slip-on in the mail today and it looks like they forgot to send the cutting instructions. i wanted to know if anyone either could just give me the measurements or tell me where to find the instructions cause scorpion-exhausts.com doesnt have the instructions on there. i could do it by just figuring out the measure ments but i would rather be percise.

[NorCal_SV650S]

If you got the "Race Can" which most people do...it leans out the closed, part, and full throttle.

I have moved up to 140 mains, shimmed the needles, and turned out the screws to 2 1/2 and its still a tad lean at closed throttle and slightly lean at WOT...

So assume with stock jetting...you should AT LEAST shim the needles...

[EastcoastSVS]

well i did the cutting (gotta love the dremel), and slipped everything on and then put the key in the ignition and WOW!!!!!! THE SV650S never sounded so freakin nasty... it sounded almost as loud as my friends TLR with Yosh RS-3 race cans. this Scorpion Race Can is amazing...now in a month im going with the jet kit and 2 teeth up on the rear sprocket...i love my SVS so much...its like riding a different bike....well just had to tell someone how great it is...the only problem is that my neighbors dont like the noise as much as i do.. oh well

[Punkbrad]

im getting a damn scorpion slip on, only two hunned -n- fiddy bux delivered!

im also a po bastid. :(

P to tha poorhouse B.

[bjai]

I am interested in a SScorpion because of the price... I've seen the SV in Europe has high-mounted Scorpion exhaust and I can't find it in the USA. Does anyone know where I can order mine with high mounted option?

Assuming that it will retain the foot pegs, will it still bother the passenger with its exhaust heat. I don't want my burn my wife's ankle :p

I thought the Scorp. Punk is getting was going to be a high mount. Maybe that has changed. I also thought he told me he ordered it from England, but maybe I've thought wrong.

Punk . . . ?

And aftermarket exhaust cans don't throw out the amount of heat the stock ones do.

When I go to ride the SV, I simply "walk" her out to the street, and start her out there. I try to be a good neighbor and I figure this extra effort is little price to pay for the benefits of the Scorpion.

I live in an apartment complex in Hollywood and I park my bike in our courtyard, so starting it there sounds as though a helicopter is hovering...:D

But the street is Public Domain, at least theorectically. (And yes, she sounds nasty.)

[SVelocity]

1) After you cut your pipe for a slip-on, is your stock can and pipes pretty much toast for anything else? There is no way to marry those two back together again?
2) I personally think the pipes for the SV aren't the prettiest thing on the bike and if you have the cash, replacing the pipes with an after-market set it's a nice visual upgrade. So if you decide you want some after market pipes after you've done the slip on thang, is it possible to still use your slip-on with the after-market pipes or do you have to buy the whole kit 'n caboodle and ditch the slip-on?

Not sure about Scorpions, but the Renegades came with a collar thing that can be welded/siliconed to the stock can and put back on the stock pipes if needed. So I suppose any slip-ons can be put back on, just that it won't look the same with the collar/clamp on. If you're good with welding, I suppose you can even ditch the collar/clamp.

No way to put them back together... But stock exhausts from bikes are usually pretty cheap when bought used...

From the dealer, new, they're more expensive than aftermarket pipes :eek:

[lsklitzke]

The Scorpion I have came with a pipe to reconnect the stock pipe.

[Jlm8667]

Just put a "nikko" high-rise on my bike. Looks and sounds great. Very easy to cut off the stock, about an inch and a half (40mm) from the weld (under the foot peg) cut mine off with a hack saw and the mighty dremel.

Out side section of the pipe is very easy to go thru, but for some reason the baffle contiues down that far at the weld and is a b&*%@ to cut thru. Once I got it off i drilled, pounded, cut and cussed the remining section of the baffle out. Don't know that it makes any difference I simply did'nt want it there.

Good Luck!

[Jlm8667]

lsklitzke

You are correct. "Nikko" also includes a sleeve to re-join the stock system should for some strange reason you would ever want to do that.

[backlash]

I got my Scorpion high mount slipon in the mail yesterday. The instructions are not very clear though. If I cut about 1.75 or 1.25 inches up from the weld does that seem right? Also would the bike be ok to ride with just the slipon with out re-jetting? I prob won't be able to reject until you guys have the next maint day cuzz I am kinda scared to do it myself. I am still a noob when it comes to bikes. Here are links to the pics:

[Tillers_Rule]

Cut as high as you can at first, that way you will have extra pipe to work with.

If you start at the lower measurment, and biff it, then your really screwed.

The bike will run fine without jets, but will be slightly down on power.(Crashgirl has the same pipe, only in carbon fiber, and she ran it like that for a bit)

There are many people on here, and several "maintenance days" that could help you do the rejetting.

That's prob what I was going to do, I'll have to have a little trial and error process going on.

[backlash]

Would it do any damage if I start the bike after I cut the stock muffler off? I just want to hear what it sounds like. :D

[GsxrGregor]

It won't damage it really, but it will be really frickin' loud. Kinda like a Harley, since they don't use mufflers. Might even blow out some of the filings from sawing off the stock muffler.

POI,
I've got a standard mount Scorpion and I'm very pleased with it. Nice muscular sound, clean looks (stainless) and it never needs repacking. The sound/video clip on the downloads page doesn't really do it justice. Check out this link (http://www.socalsvriders.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3537&highlight=exhaust+suggestions) for more opinions.

Well, I installed my hi mount on Friday night. It took a little longer than I expected. Keep in mind that I did not rejet yet. After riding the bike it seems as though I lost a little bit of power on the lowend, probably attributed to me not rejetting yet. I didn't really expect to gain any noticeable power anyway though. The bike sounds like it has some balls now, puts a big :D on my face everytime I hear it.
I do have a question for everyone though, in the link is a pic of my exhaust next to my tire. Is it ok for the exhaust can to be this close to the tire?
http://www.imagestation.com/mypictures/inbox/view.html?url=http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid83/pd2de36099f5455bcf685da711df89543/fad5def7.jpg

PS: nevermind the chicken strips on the tire, I am still a noob.

[GsxrGregor]

That shouldn't be a problem, as that part of the can doesn't get nearly as hot as the header pipe. It'll just get a little more dirty cuz it's closer to the tire.

[POI]

where'd you get your pipe from and how much?...if you don't mind my asking

[pfletch]

www.Pipecity.com $260 delivered. But it is a phone in special, at least it was when I bought mine.

[flyjetta]

you can get the high mount for that price?

[BluBallz]

yeah, whoa whoa, more info required HERE pfletch :)

[harbiho]

Got my stainless Scorpion Slip-ons (stock mount) today. It took just of 2 days for the guys from Pipe City to get it to my door step. It looks really nice.

I'm planning on putting them on this Saturday. Got the sawzall out all ready to go. Great deal for $260 shipped and all!!!

[backlash]

Originally posted by POI

Not sure if your asking me about my pipe or not. But here is the info in case anybody else wants it. I paid $299 for the can, shipped to my door. The high mount exhausts can only be obtained from the UK. I bought mine from a guy named Dave Normington, his contact info is:

David Normington
dnormbiker@screaming.net
http://www2.fenetre.co.uk/dnormbiker/

However, please be warned that some people on the svrider board have ordered from this same guy and have had bad experiences I can say that I had a pretty good experience with Dave though. If anybody has any questions about the highmount or the shop I got it from I would be more than happy to assist you.

[thejimdaddy]

backlash how long did it take to get the high mount?

[backlash]

Originally posted by thejimdaddy

I ordered the can on 9-17 and I got it in the mail on 10-6. The reason it took so long was because Dave had to order it directly from Scorpion and they lagged. Once Dave shipped the package it only took like 4-5 days to get to me. He even gave me a tracking # and everything.

[thejimdaddy]

that's cool. i'm ordering one begining of next season. i'll let you know how it goes. what kind of jetting did you use? you could keep the rear pegs with the high mount too. right?

[backlash]

I did not rejet, I would have to have somebody help me, but I think Burst posted these settings before:

You need
140mains (stock air filter)
152.5mains (if k&n or desnorkled air filter)
17.5 pilots (2.5 turns on the screw)
or keep the stock pilots and go with 3 turns on the screw.
(pilots don't make much difference between the two setups)

That's what I plan on doing. You do get to keep the passenger pegs also. Yeah lemme know how it goes, if ya got any Q's or anything shoot me a PM or something. HTH

[thejimdaddy]

thank you for being so helpful

[jerryw]

Is anyone familiar with scorpion exhaust for an 03 and whether any remapping would be needed? They claim no remapping necessary but wanted opinions of people who have already tried it. Also any power loss on the top end as I think i read somewhere might be the case before I decided to get one.Thanks.

[RageRage]

Hey I had a Scorpoion exhaust but I didn't like it because it was too loud. Who makes a nice sweet-sounding exhaust that's maybe louder than stock but not so loud, total? Thanks.

[wadaribaba]

Red rage:
Yoshimura makes exhausts with what they call the zyclone baffel. It's much quieter than the race exhausts.
From the yoshimura website:
RS-3 Zyclone systems are 90-92dB while RS-3 Race systems are 95dB

For more info see www.yoshimura-rd.com

What can you say to this one?

It's all about testicles, really.

And I have tiny ones, so I love my friggin' thumpin' Scorpion!

[bling_thing]

LOUD is GOOD!

Loud pipes should be put in the Cellphone thread. I love being noisier on the street so idiots know I'm around.

[terp21]

I have a standard mount slip on for the 03 on the way too and wonder if any remap will be needed. They say it doesn't but I wouldn't know. Also would it be smart to upgrade the filter to K&N or BMC?

[Bear]

With just the pipe you should be fine, but with a K&N that would probably put you runnin' pretty lean without the remap.

[terp21]

Is it worth it to get the new filter and do a remap? What kind of performance boost will I get? If I do go that route, where/how do you remap without buying a pcIII?

[Bear]

I'm speculating that you may gain a couple to a few horse, with pipe, remap, and k&n. For someone like me there really isn't any point in spending that much money. I'm considering a new pipe, but that's just for the sound. As far as remapping without pcIII, yosh might have something like that. But as far as I know you need to install some kind of mapping device. But again I'm not positive on that.

[NYSVS]

Man you people are worrying me. I just purchase a scorpion, and I hope it's not very loud.......

[GsxrGregor]

I'll admit, my Scorpion has a pretty nasty bark when you crack open the throttle. :D
If you live in an area where law enforcement is pretty strict on noise though, you might want to consider another pipe.

[terp21]

i agree, my scorp growls pretty good when you crack throttle and even louder when you roll off and engine break

[DmitriSVS]

I installed my scorpion slip on and I think it runs a bit lean. I hear popping sound on decceleration. Bike is stock except the pipe.
I was about to shimm the needles but now I think jetting is needed
Where do I just buy jets. I don't want to spend 90+ bux on useless kit. Any one have some spare ones?
Also I know that dynojet mains are different sizes than mikuni mains.Are they?

.

What setup do you guys have on your bikes with your slip-ons?

[TIE_Pilot]

The popping sound is (I'm told) the sound of after-combustion in the pipe, part of the PAIR emissions control system. The general consensus was, this was not a backfire but rather a sound that was there all along but was too well-muffled to hear with the stock pipe.

[DmitriSVS]

I am in Canada. I doubt there's any emission control in our pipes!
Anyway, bike doesn't seem to run right. It does wheelie better but I think it lacks power,rhrottle responce is kind of slow. after 7KRPM it's worse than it's use to be in acceleration.

The popping sound produced by fumes burned in the exhaust on decceleration is a sign of lean condition

I am thinking of 140(137.5 stock) mikuni mains plus 1 shim down and maybe 17 pilots


I just need to buy it somewhere and I don't know where...

[TIE_Pilot]

The popping sound produced by fumes burned in the exhaust on decceleration is a sign of lean condition


Suzuki's PAIR system adds air to the exhaust after combustion to produce this effect on purpose and reduce emissions. As far as I know, this includes the bikes sold in Canada. The only difference for California bikes I am aware of is the evaporative cannister to catch gasoline vapors. But rejet is easy for you pre-03 guys so go ahead and tune away! :)

[GsxrGregor]

I have a Scorpion exhaust and put in 140 mains and 17.5 pilots and shimmed the needles in my carbs. It runs great :D Every once in a while I'll get a pop when I'm decelerating - but other than that it's fine.

[TIE_Pilot]

Hmm. Should I be worried? When I roll of the throttle hard I get a lot of gurgle-gurgle-pop action. I'd love put in a new air filter and have my FI remapped, but I don't want to spend a ton of money.

[Knaapie]

You could have the fuel-air ratio checked. Then you at least now for sure if it's running to rich, to lean or just fine. Perhaps you can mount a normal K&N filter in the airbox without any serious consequences for the mixture.

In an other topic (i thought 2003 aftermarket exhaust-topic) i read that the Powercommander is the only way to have it remapped properly. Remapping with a Yoshimura box only makes it worse.

[thejimdaddy]

my sv with the scorpion pipe has a flat spot around 4000rpm's i need to rejet too

[TIE_Pilot]

OK... so anybody know how I can get my bike remapped for a reasonable cost? I don't care so much about the Yosh box's rep... the cost a Power Commander is out of the question right now.

[DmitriSVS]

Originally posted by thejimdaddy

You can get rid of that flat spot by shimming.



I picked up 140 mains today from my local dealer. Just need to get 17s pilots. It's actually not that bad from 7Krpm.
I get that popping sound from about 3-7k rpm on decceleration.
SVs come a bit lean at 4-6k.Shimming usually helps with stock pipe. Now that I have a slip on I just have to do it.

I've been told that 17s pilots are not needed if you adjust air/fuel mixture screw to 3-3 1/2 turns. Any one have any info on that?


Oh, now after I got my slip on my bike got harder to start. That's again shows lean condition(in my view)

[Watto]

Hi just wanting to use everyones past experiences and knowledge.
Have been considering what type of can to get for my 2002 SV and came across the scorpion. Wondering if anyone has one or knows someone that does and what they think of them.
I Had a Staintune on my 2000 model and liked it.
Just don't like anything Carbon ( or really expensive, just had twins so we are poorer than before) and everyone has Yoshi's.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers Watto

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Depending on freight costs I may actually get one sent to me from the UK. Waiting on a reply from a distributor over there.
They seem to be much cheaper there as well.
Under $200 AUD. Obviously this doesn't include the postage so I shall weigh up my options (and the bank balance) once I get an answer.
Cheers for the pics as well

[K3SVS]

I just recently purchased a scorpion ss standard mount can. I have to say that I am pleased with the quality and sound. The sound is not too load but I kinda wish it was a bit loader. Fit and finish were also good. I did however cut my stock exhaust a little longer (2 inches from the weld instead of 1 3/4 inch) just in case I deside to go with a different (louder) can in the future i.e. Yosh.

[thejimdaddy]

i have a scorpion highmount from the wiseguy. i love it. great pipe

[racinteach]

A little fair warning to you 04 owners looking for a scorpian can....they are using the same as the 03 and they do not quite fit right....they are designed for the 03 which has a little wider subframe, the 04's are a little thinner ....the can will stick out a little bit....so heads up.....

i didn't either, I guess if it leaks that's just less backpressure for more horsepower!!

I just posted this info to the "help" thread that I started, but I thought it would fit in here too.

Scorpion has acknowledged the difference in the '04 SV650 and has issued new part numbers for the '04 kits. They're not readily available yet though. The kits have a different midpipe to accomodate the different frame geometry.

FYI,

Brett

[munkeeboi]

with the high-mounts...what tail kits are you using. I was told that the pipe gets close to the turn signal

[SirCoryM]

The high mount is about $50 more expensive. With scorpion's high mount (unlike some other brands) you get to keep your rear pegs and such. However, is it still "safe" for a passenger?

Also what are the advantages of a higher pipe? Is it just looks, and the fact that maybe u can lean over further?

I'm about to buy a standard, but was wondering if there is some reason everyone seems to prefer a high mount...

Thanks!

[NiteQwill]

It looks cooler :D

Yes, you can lean more and IMHO, goes with the lines of the bike.

Is it safe? That's up to you... yes, you can utilize your rear pegs still, but one weird lean and your passenger will feel a little burn....

[SirCoryM]

hmmmm i'll try to find better pics of each, cant really seem to find them...

But i have a standard in my checkout cart, and ITS very tempting to just go with it.


I'm not too sold on a hi-mount, i guess i need to see pics... hmm...

[NiteQwill]

I have a lot of pics... let me show you...

[SirCoryM]

sweet i'm right here with ya, i keep staring at the checkout cart.

I just dont want to buy the wrong one for me!

I was also thinking a hi-mount would sorta suck b/c it could burn a passenger, and possibly restrict me strapping cargo on the rear (maybe i'll do that sometime?)

I'm gunna run to the store to think about it, then its go time when i'm back.

Thanks

[NiteQwill]

And here...

The pegs are forward of the can.. The only way to burn your passenger like a said is for a bad lean or they scoot their leg too far back... but then again, you passenger should be wearing full shoes, no sandals. :D

[SirCoryM]

hmmmm, decisions decisions!


I'm still trying to figure out if a high mount is worth it. I guess the ~$50 more is just worth it, b/c it seems like everyone likes a high mount way more. I'd just feel bad when people keep mentioning "why didnt you get the high mount?!?"

Well anyways it looks sweet (espescially on that all black bike, yum!!!). I'm gunna order the high mount.

I'll let ya know when it'll be here, i see you're in irvine too. I have a stock 03 naked SV which I got like 2 weeks ago. Its a sweet 1st bike!

-Cory

just ordered it...

also thought i'd add that I got a new pair of gloves. Driving at speed tonight was SOOO FRIGGNINNNN cold with my janky gloves.

[FLSVRider]

It also raises your center of gravity.

Not a huge deal but why put that weight up high. Too me high mounts are cosmetic only.

You can lean an SV over as fas as your tires will allow and still have clearance with a standard mount. There are tons of pictures to prove this.

Pros:
Looks cool


Cons:
Extra cost
Raises center of gravity
Lose rear pegs (in some cases)
Increased possibility of burns to passenger

Seems like an easy decision to me. But if you like it get it.

[Punkbrad]

Im diggin on the devil high pipe... big bux, but badass!!

[SirCoryM]

I had sold myself on getting a standard mount at first too, and you make great points there FLSVrider.

However, since I'm a tool of being cool, I ordered the hi-mount titanium. Great price too!

Today I also got in my alpinestars leather jacket, and I'm beyond happy with it. I'm exhilerated! It looks good, is well vented, and will provide MUCH more safety then the cheapo joe rocket textile I was using. However, i'll love the rocket jacket more when its blazing hot outside!!!

I also got in a new front fender, but thats another rant of happiness....

i love my sv!

[SirCoryM]

[CK50]

Installed my Scorpion High Mount exhaust this weekend. Andy (since413) did a great job with it. The kit worked perfectly and I really have no complaints. It came with spacers for the passenger peg so I can have a good lookin' high mount a passenger too. The engine runs fine with the new exhaust...maybe better than before. I may still play with the carbs, but I don't think it is really necessary. And of course the sound is awesome.

A couple of pics:
http://www.chriskahanek.com/betsy/bike.htm

[stringzz]

Betsy sure looks good. I especially dig the panorama shot.

[sdlnxgk]

Great Pixs of Betsy... Awesome view !!!

[Mike1024]

it is completely safe to have a passenger on with the scorpion high mount.... my girlfriend and I ride very often, and have never had any issues with feet getting in the way, burns, heat, etc... Great exhaust also i must say. I like it so much im considering buying another one to put on my 2nd SV650. Stick a K&N air filter in, add synth R4 oil in, K&N oil filter, 14 front sprocket teeth and 47 rear teeth, and you're ready to roll =)

[SirCoryM]

I'm about to add a scorpion hi mount slip on exhaust to my stock bike. It has a K&N air filter, if you'd even consider that worthwhile.

But anyways I'm familar w/ how a carbureted bike needs to be rejetted for the exhaust. Does my bike need to have anything else done to work well with the exhaust?

I'm assuming that maybe i'd have to unplug the battery for a bit to reset stuff... where is the battery anyways?

thanks...

[NiteQwill]

No, the bike is FI, so nothing is needed. No you don't need to disconnect the battery.

You can always get a Power Commander to squeeze a little more out. The reason I like the PC is because it makes the bike ride smoother in the lower RPM range, especially with the Acc. Pump enabled.

If you ever need help with your bike, I'm in the area, give me a PM.

edit: The battery is located under the seat.:p

[illustr8dman]

I believe with both the free-flow filter and exhaust you need to have the computer remapped to prevent it from running to lean and backfiring on deceleration.

[mikev]

Got in on the Scorpion deal from buycyclegear.

1. Awesome price, awesome customer service (handwritten thank you on my invoice :D)

2. Super easy install. For anybody that's contemplating this, DO IT. It literally took 3 minutes to cut the stock exhaust off with my handy-dandy sawzall, and I elected to remove the passenger pegs anyways (wife doesn't like riding).

Up next: remove the snow shovel fender, seat cowl, gixxer front end, and shock upgrade (thank you tax money).

Oh, and lowers.

On to the pics:

[WildWilly]

I just put on my Scorpion carbon-fiber slip-on today. Man does my bike sound good. The whole process took only about a half hour. With my handy sawzall, I cut the stock pipe in about 10 seconds. All the parts fits real nice and the instructions were easy to read and understand. My SV now sounds like a beast and is noticeably peppier. I just thought I'd share my excitement.

:D

[morbidelli17]

I felt the same way when I popped my Scorp on. They rock ...

[Doubleup16]

yep +2 on the scorpion slip on. Can't go wrong

[WildWilly]

come to think of it, I didn't get any stickers with my exhuast. One of the earlier posts says I should have gotten "8 friggin stickers". I'm slightly dissapointed.

[Punkbrad]

that exhaust looks huge! i bet it sounds great. nice job. lookin forward to putting mine on. its en route in via UPS.

[Lardoggy]

bumpin' this old thread cause I just got my Scorpion High Mount (SS) delivered today! Gonna head out a little early for the install Can't wait to hear it :D

[WiseGuy]

WildWilly,

I thought I was subscribed to this thread, but for some reason I missed your post. We may have a stray sheet of stickers here somewhere. If I can locate 'em I'll send them out to you. I don't have a name associate with your ID though....

PM me if you'd like.

[Lardoggy]

Well, it took longer than I thought it would (ended up going out and buying a sawzall :o ) but the damn thing sure does look purty and sounds hella good! I went with the high mount and the can is actually sitting on the right rear turn signal pushing it down about a half inch or so. Sounds like this may be somewhat normal??? Any recommendations for a replacement turn signal/license plate holder set up???

[Lardoggy]

OK, looking for any advice anyone is interested in offering. As noted above, I installed my Scorpion High Mount a few weeks ago. I love the sound and the look....at least from the side. As you can see below, the pipe is sitting on my rear right turn signal and, in my mind, makes the whole rear end look rather home made. I've done some investigating around getting a FE, (in part to get rid of the ugly rear fender), but I'm concerned that any FE I get will include right side turn signal that is utterly invisible from anyone on my right hand side unless it goes very low or I somehow do a flush mount on the body of the tail itself. Maybe my install wasn't entirely correct? I cut the stock pipe at pretty darn close to the point recommended in the instructions and I don't recall there being any room to "push" the new pipe further down on the stock tubing.

There's enough of a risk in doing a non DOT turn signal, but one that is practically useless is a whole new level of risk (for me at least). Any suggestions???


Side view....nice!

[Lardoggy]

I remember seeing that as I was researching the FE (that cut looked nasty!) While I like the look, as best I can tell, that right side turn indicator will not be very visible to peole driving on the right side of that bike. Hard to know for sure. I even consulted with racinteach who admitted that the high mounts dont serve the turn indicators very well. Maybe I'm just making more of this than I need too? Another option was just to go short stalk on the existing indicators and leave the fender in place...not sure I'm real happy with that option though :(

The Leo vince sits a bit lower than the Scorpion.

The LV hi-mount provides a gap just enough for the right turn signals to fit and be seen from the side.

true, thats why i put up that side pic, you can see it.

the scorpion has a fatty can, thats why! haha.

I had Racinteach fix mine after the original Targa FI cracked my License plate (on the original tire!) & the plastic it was screwed into on the bike. (The targa FI was already done when I bought the bike)

NOTE: he had to make a metal back plate for my cracked license & he is going to put the led plate light on this week.

Here's some pics (old Targa, then new Racinteach)

thanks bro!

yeah, he does great work. He's putting in emulators & springs in the front this week on me bike:D

[TooHuge]

I am going to order the scorpion slip on because I really need something soon, My bike sounds like crap. I am going with the scorpion slip on because of price. My question is should I go with the standard mount or high mount? Also does anyone have any online stores they recomend or maybe some I should stay away from.

Thanks

[SilverRider]

I just ordered a Sorpion High mount from BuyCycleGear
http://www.buycyclegear.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=SO-5201383 . It was $314.00 to my door. If you type in, svshipfree then no shipping will be added. I get mine tomorrow, can't wait to mount it. I searched all over for the high mount and this is the cheapest I could find it for. Most people didn't even have one. I will post pics whith it on as I have not seen a 2003 with one mounted.

[TooHuge]

The reason I ask it, I can get a std mount for 265 and a high mount for 315. Is the high mount really that much better? Any benefits besides looks?

Thanks

[harbiho]

No.

[SilverRider]

The high mounts just look cool and are a little out of the way should you happen to wipe up the road with the side of your bike. You also have to remember that the high mounts might get in the way of your turn signals.

[Lardoggy]

+1....my high mount looks cool from the side but, unfortunately, the rear right turn signal is in the way. Hopefully, that will be fixed when I install my brand new Raceinteach FE this weekend :D

[SilverRider]

Just got my Scorpion SS Hi mount today and threw it on. WOW!!! I love the way it looks and it sounds really nice. I feel a bit more punch as well in HP. The slip on went together real easy and you can keep your passenger pegs if you want. I was suprised at the quality of the pipe and silencer, good work for the price. I will post some pics of it tomorrow when it is light out. It was dark by the time I finished it. The pipes come with a lifetime warranty and if you crash it (hope not) then they will give you a big discount on a new one. No repacking makes it a maintenance free pipe. Glad to have the stock can off.

[TooHuge]

Cant wait to get mine! I just ordered the regular mount as I did not want any issues with my turn signal. I have had the stock on there for 3 years! Really looking forward for the new sound. Cant wait to see some pics of your high mount.

[SilverRider]

Got some pics of the new Scorpion SS HI pipe.

[SilverRider]

Back side.

[SilverRider]

Last one I promise.

[TooHuge]

Wow that looks really nice! Thanks for posting some pics! Just received mine about 15min ago. I will be installing mine tonight. Cant wait to hear how it sounds. I will post a pic to, but mine is just 1st gen with a standard mount :(

[SilverRider]

1st gen bikes rock as well. If it wasn't for the 1st gen bikes there would never be our beloved 2nd gen bikes. You will love the sound, can't wait to see the pics.

[Lardoggy]

^^^^ I agree whole heartedly :D

[kingsfan33]

Hi,
I finally got and installed my Scorpion (standard mount).
I just had a few questions:
First of all, the pipe fasteners that get tightened over two connecting pipes, where exactly is that supposed to go over? I currently have it covering the slits in the pipe - as opposed to centering it right between the connection of the two pipes.
Also, everything looks good except one thing - the clamp that goes around the muffler fits smoothly on the outside, but in the inside of it - it looks like theres a lot of extra room - maybe I need to bend the clamp? or maybe the pipe is out of position? What do you think?
Thanks.
BTW - I took it for a test ride around the block and it sounds AWESOME!! Thanks for the recommendations!

[Rocky]

Lookin nice Larry.

So when are you going to bring it by so I can hear it? I might be ordering one soon.

[Lardoggy]

Anytime, Rocky, anytime. You will like the sound! We should do another ride sometime soon. How was the trip up to Big Bear?

[SilverRider]

I clamped the hose clamps right after the slotted ends. I don't know if it matters that much as long as the pipe doesn't leak and doesn't rotate once you clamp it down. As for the can support strap goes. The fit is not perfect so a little bending minipulation might be nessesary. As the strap heats up it might shape itself after a while. Either way the can is not going anywhere as long as the weight load is mostly distributed on the bottom part of the strap. I shaped mine a bit after it was installed for a week or so and now it is shaped nicely. Be sure to recheck the hose clamps after riding it as the heat might change the tightness of the hose clamps from initial installation. I had one clamp that was loose after riding it for a few hours. Take care.

[kingsfan33]

I figured out the fitting of the clamp around the muffler: Initially I had one bracket on each side of the metal base on the bike (beneath the footpeg) but I now have both ends of the clamp together on one side and it fits perrfectly.
Regarding the hose clamps:
Thanks for the heads up on tightening the clamps, I will try to tighten them but -
Initially, I thought it wasnt leaking, and now I put my hand there when I rev the engine and I feel air coming out a little. If tightening the clamps doesnt help, I think I'll go to Autozone or something and buy a silicone sealant (as per earlier posts in this thread)

Thanks again for your help...

[Rocky]

Ended up not going to big bear. I didnt get enough responses so I just canned it.

I still want to take that trip up there though.

So how much did you end up spending for that high mount?
Where did you order it?

Thanks for the info man. Good lookin out...

I'll try to put in the order by the end of the month.

Yeah I've heared those sound files. Thats through speakers though. I'm one of those types that needs to see it and hear it right in front of me. Specially when it comes to my bike.

I'll hit you up friday and see when you have some free time.

I installed a Two Brothers system last night. She has a bark when you crack her open. Like others I HAD to fire it up after I cut the OEM off. Sounded pretty darn mean but WAY to loud.

Going with the high mount would have been cool but we tour/camp on our scooters and the high mount would have pre heated everything in the saddlebags.

Looks great Mike. Better save the old one though in case you get a fix it ticket on Palomar.

Does anybody have the Scorpion Street Extreme on their SV? If so how does it perform and look?

[05svkid]

Hey guys I was wondering what y'all think about the scorpion street extreme exhaust for my 05 sv650s. I kinda like the whole shorter design, but I have never seen it actually on a sv. Oh and how do they perform compared to others. If anyone has a picture please post them so I can get an idea of what it will look like it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Will

agreed. if it looks THAT unimpressive, it better shoot performance to the moon!

[notamkssc]

Mine isn't as high as the others shown here, but it is still higher than the stock can. I love the sound, and its not as big as the scorpions, at least to my eye. This bike was never started with the stock can, before it was even serviced the IXIL slip-on was installed. It starts as easy as anything I've started, idles well, and I don't notice anything other than a mostly linear power profile as I roll on the throttle. This is my first bike however, and the odometer reflects all of my riding experience (1000 mi). :P

[notamkssc]

Also a question...

My exhaust appears to be just as free flowing as some of the other cans shown in this thread, do you guys think I may have a lean mixture?
I ride it easy, and am gentle on the throttle, although sometimes I get on it, and I avg about 65 mpg city/highway. I do hear the cackle lightly when I let off the throttle slightly quick from an engine load, but I don't think I've heard a bike that didn't do this.

My exhaust appears to be just as free flowing as some of the other cans shown in this thread, do you guys think I may have a lean mixture?
I ride it easy, and am gentle on the throttle, although sometimes I get on it, and I avg about 65 mpg city/highway. I do hear the cackle lightly when I let off the throttle slightly quick from an engine load, but I don't think I've heard a bike that didn't do this.

That is the decel pops, normal for a V-twin. The stock can muffles them a lot so you can't hear them as well.
