12:30 sound comparison
Insanely nice exhaust mate! I love the more aggressive sounds from it!
Sounds really good. The craftsmanship on the actual exhaust itself is also very good.
Amazes me how good the stock exhaust on this car is. I feel like there are some aftermarket exhausts that don’t sound better than stock. The scorpion you out on sounds absolutely incredible! Great video
Another great video and massive change in the noise sounds much more aggressive now. Great upgrade great content keep it up!
It sounds really Good mate one of the best exhaust comparison videos ive seen 👌🏼
Car Focused it really does 👌🏼
Life's too short as you say. You got that right.
.
Nice exhaust mate, sounds great.
.
. Cheers
Can't go wrong with Scorpion...very good exhausts
Sounds and looks incredible!👌🏻
Exhaust is ace , thank you for the vid ....
Like it when it has the explosion sound 🤤
This brings back the great memories of my cooper S which had a scorpion cat back, very nice system
best car-based channel on youtube. good job.
Sounds awesome mate! Very noticeable how much deeper it sounds compared to the stock exhaust.
That workshop is immaculate. Always a good sign
great exhaust, suits car sooo good! love it! and the channel.
Sounds awesome. 👍🏼
Was driving in the hills with my brother on the weekend. Me in my mk3 RS LE, and him behind in my mk2 RS. Both are fitted with non-res scorpion catbacks.
My brother had to back off because he couldn't handle the sound of the pops and bangs..
For me fitting this exhaust has made the car truly special when I drive it.. and annoying for everyone else :)
Good choice!
I'm more amazed that you kept a MK2 RS behind you.....he he
@@keithstapleton7805 honestly there isn't much between them. the mk2 has also been known to keep up with my ferrari.. enough said :)
I was pulling your leg, I love both models, they are different yet the same. My Fiesta ST can keep up with my RS, now that's a surprise to many.
This sounds amazing.
Sounds awesome! Good choice!
Sounds a lot better.enjoy the pops and bags
Great comparison video. The Scorpion sounds really nice.
Good choice with the Scorpion. I've also used them for Many years but not yet on the RS. Very difficult to get a feel for the sound on CZcams.
I've heard a mountune V3 and a Milltek unresonated back to back in real life and much preferred the V3. Would be good to see a video with the Scorpion and v3 back to back
great video. Sounds Rallye Stage ready!!!
Hi , I just got the scorpion catback on my rs mk3 it's sounds amazing thanks for your video that's why I got the exhaust too .
Glad to have helped 😃
Sounds so good we'll done m8
Brilliant choice Gary I got the same exhaust, it sounds awesome, great value and in a tunnel with the windows down the pop and bangs are deafening and you get 8.2bhp which makes a difference getting to the red line so much easier and free flowing and more random pop's cheers steve 😀
@@CarFocused yes the same as you' best look for me:-)cheers steve:-)
Wow mate, sounds wicked af! Bet ya chuffed!!
Sounds bloody good that .. 👍
Looks and sounds really good. Love the turbo spool through the exhaust. I’ve a full Milltek system on mine. Initially went for non res but was stupid loud on start up in combination with the sports cat so had the resonated section fitted which has given the sound I’m after from a daily driver. You might as well join the club now I reckon and go full stage 2 ;)
I leave for work at 6:15 am , can't wait for my non res Milltek😮
Wooow . Love it
Damn you and your loud exhaust!!! I'm going to have to get one for mine now!!! :D 15 dislikes?? Haters gonna hate. Sounds awesome!
Great video
Great video as always 👍👌 This might be a stupid question but does this now defect the warranty on the rs?
That sounds ace mate.
rs needs a decent exhaust system looks like you got one. Good video .
Another good review gary . Do you notice much in way of bhp / torque gain ? Am looking at the remus wolf inside cat back claims 1.8 bhp n 10nm expensive but keeps warranty .
Love the polished tips. They look fantastic. Nice sounding exhaust, but your just teasing us with revs love to see fly bys while engine is under load! Lol
@@CarFocused haha don't blame u! already looking forward to it!
sounds decent that, had Scorpion on my previous car, now looking at putting on the new carbon one on my clubsport. I think scorpion get the noise just right
Sounds spot on 👍. I’m now googling the equivalent for my M2😂.
Akropovic is the only way to go with the M2. They make a matching carbon surround / diffuser as well that looks amazing
Gary mt8 , very nice the final piece - you could have added some costing for the exhaust, in the blog
So it does have a resonator in place where the oe one was, just smaller than most other aftermarket resonated systems?
Sounds like a damn tiger growl at idle 😍
Love it. I’m looking at a similar system for my 997 Turbo by Fabspeed.
Great choice Gary - has got me thinking.....🤔
When modifying your car do you notify your insurance company?Just curious as they usually ask if you have modified your car in any way
Sounds great, louder than a Mountune catback?
Did u keep the stock exhaust or do they buy it off you
Scorpion exhaust on a r5 gt turbo 😍
Great sound,but the left side tip looks slightly lower than the right side,just undo the clip and swivel it upwards.
Lovely
How much did they charge for fitting? Am considering it for mine.
I have been going round and round at which exhaust system I should get. I had my heart set on a Borla S Type but it doesn't use the Ford exhaust valve system.
.
Scorpion does use the valve switch and it sounds fantastic!!
.
Very well made video. Thank you for the details.
.
Is Scorpion made in the UK?
.
I'm getting this system!
@@CarFocused Assembled by hand, that's good ol English quality for ya.
.
The Tips are GORGEOUS!!
.
Thanks again my friend from across the pond.
Do you have stock down pipe?
got the Scorpion setup on my Focus rs aswell, but i've gone with the non-resonated and valveless one, I belive you have the resonated version due to the pressed tube. :) but I agree with you, I absolutely love mine too!
Got a question do the valueless scorpion cat back affect the mot in uk
I’m sure it sounds a lot nicer in person, but it’s a clear improvement over stock and glad to hear you’re happy with the upgrade! Personally, I’m a Milltek man through and through, the raspiness of their systems just speaks to me on a level I can’t even explain. Fuck electric cars am I right? Haha
I have both in my storage unit atm.. my personal RS LE with scorpion valved catback (non res) and also another (Im looking after it) RS fitted with a Miltek. The Miltek sounds great, and if I daily drove my car I would have one for sure. But damn.. the scorpion is on another level of volume (and ASBO'ness).. its actually most of the reason I dont daily my mk3 anymore... just keep it for Sunday drives :)
Hello, about time you got one. Very surprised you went for scorpions. I went down the Remus route in the end, partly due to the sound. Your are right, hard to tell how it sounds on video but it does look so much better than stock. Look forward to know what it’s like inside and if you have turned off the fake noise into the cabin of the car?
Hey Gary, I’m not 100% yet but I think it involves forscan, plugging into the obd port and doing it from there. To be honest I’ve not noticed too much noise in the cabin with my Remus and I can always pop it into normal which helps a lot. Was your system fitted perfectly first time? After about 300 miles mine was knocking so ford had to readjust but it’s been fine since. I really did look at the scorpion but I was put off it by a lot of people saying it did not sound as good as the Remus. I really hope you are happy with it and I look forward to another video. 👍🏻
what color is the one from ur RS?
Another great vid Gary ! .. I’m copying you yet again, first the imap ! ( which is incredible btw ) now picking up a cat back valved scorpion tomorrow on the way back from holiday , after a successful wanted post on the Facebook rs owners page ...yet to tell the other half ! ..also yet to tell her she’s helping me fit it Sunday ! ...going to be a squeeze fitting a second hand system in the golf with the kids in the back & all the luggage ! ..as you said ..’you only live once ! ‘
Steve
I could make so many focus puns from this video
How much did it cost to install
What year focus is this
I want that for mine. What is it called on website I want the exact same and price?
Had a scorpion on my old RS turbo. Back in day !
Car Focused eye eye pal
Hope your neighbours appreciate it as I’m damned sure I wouldn’t!
I fitted a Milltek system (non-res cat back) to my Scirocco R and it sounds great when driving hard but at about 2,000 rpm light throttle, there is a bad drone and it annoys the crap out of me so I have 'buyers regret' a bit. I wonder if Scorpion would have done better? Great video as always ! 👍
Cris Keay I think the drone is more from the non res bit, especially on a car like this. Do you still have your res pipe? That would be an easy and much cheaper test for you, just whack the res back on (unless it had to be chopped off??) and see if that cures the drone a bit
@@Matt7R Hiya. The kit never came with the front resonator and the original is still part of the one piece system. I thought the pipe diameters were different also?
I was actually thinking of swapping the original system's front resonator for straight pipe and refitting the system back on... With functioning valve too ??
Hi, are the tips adjustable can you have them in or out more, I would prefer them inward a little more. Thanks
Hi, yes they are. I actually adjusted mine to sit a little further in a couple of weeks later.
Good choice with the valve option mate. Sounds epic Gary🍻👍🏁😍 How Much That set you back ?
Transformation = Beast -> Monster
Looks lovely, would like to meet up to compare to my Mountune v3🤔great vid!
@@CarFocused o i want to come out and play!!😣
@@CarFocused Caterham surrey junction 6 off M25
What red blooded man doesn’t like a nice big pair of tips? Looking and sounding like it should 👍🏻
Rusty exhaust thats ford for ya. Nice new exhaust though 👍
🦂💪🏽
sounds pretty nice. will it get a decat downpipe? I'm just thinking about a non-valved scorpion cat-back with a decat scorpion downpipe as well for my babe :D
@@CarFocused yap. just thinking about that too as I do not want to go too far. Valveless is decided but not sure whether go for the catless dp or stay stock. 😕
How did you find the noise inside the car both around town and on the motorway?
No issues at all.
Would have thought the focus rs would have a stainless exhaust as standard
I had a scorpion exhaust. lurvely
When I had my RS i heard the version 1 mountune axle back. Loved it, but they stopped production. I searched you tube but could not hear the true sound. I was at ford fair show Silverstone and I heard a scorpion in the flesh. It was so much better, bangs were louder, car sounded slot better. How rs should sound. I got a non res non valve system for £550 off scorpion👍 the focus rs issues were sorted I believed at the time, I travelled to London and back alot and there was no drone. Well built great sounding exhaust. Then I had piston failure, and my warranty rejected because I fitted a modification. Ford blamed change of back pressure. Scorpion were great , they tried to help me bit at the end of the day I modified my car under warranty no matter what. I had to pay for an engine rebuild. I lost my love for my 2017 RS, now I drive a golf R, for me it's a more suitable car. But scorpion exhaust was best mod on my RS 👍 I shall hopefully fit one to my golf one day. 😁
The Focus RS has easily the biggest piece of shit 4 cylinder in any performance hatch today. You'd have to be insane to own one let alone modify one.
@@CarFocused All good, I'm just salty I had my eye on one for so long when it was announced to be completely disappointed by its reliability lol
Congrats Gary you now have an Abarth 500! 😂
😂😂😂 So true
I’ve gone for the same one but not valved 🤪 f u neighbours hahaha 🤩🔥👍
Looks the nuts tbf sounded nice standard
😮😁👍
115mm = 3inches??? I don't thinkso
Its still doesnt beat a Ford Focus ST 2006. (Sound wise)
Take it off !
All mine did was kill the Lowend Rpm grunt . 3 inch Scorpion Non Resonated twin round . Cat back. Too Loud too
Car Focused
Well I’m Fairness NO!
But After quite a bit of Forum trawling on various sites including those for motor cycles i found I wasn’t the only one left wondering about the low Rpm grunt after the affiliation with the new improved noise has worn off ,and in my case of Non res became tiresome .
I’ve Since taken out my Bluefin which felt Laggy and spike’y and replaced the Exhaust with a Stock one which I had welded back together . And I’ve been happier with my car in the last few months than I was in the year and half of Having the exhaust and REMap .
Car Focused
Well that fair enough noise is subjective .
Scorpion Didn’t work for my ST , not a few others who felt the same . I’ve heard positive things of miltek but once bitten twice as shy . I’m happy as it is I found my self thrashing the car because the low end weren’t there . 😪
Definite improvement over stock, though I don’t think these 2.3 engines from Ford have a nice sound compared to the rest of the field. The 2.0 engines from VW, BMW and Mercedes have a higher sound quality in my opinion, even though no one asked for it. Great vid all the same Gary 👍🏾
Is that still standard Downpipe matey?
Ok cool we have our dsci 3” decat and race cat down pipes now on the shelf. Need to get you in for one of your choice and Ultima 3 map and test that and see how many “wow’s” we get on that review. 😀
@@dreamscience Ultima 3 you say? Tell us more!
David Hutcheson should be out any day soon, full details on web ASAP 👌
For the person who disliked 🖕... sounds amazing mate 💎
Car Focused 💙💎
@@CarFocused would he be the infamous"2 Fast" that puts down every Focus RS video in existence?
Little off topic but which is faster your rs or the S3 you test drove?
Car Focused ahh right I can’t find any straight comparisons on CZcams all ore facelift models and mostly manual in the S3/Golf thanks
The only 4 pot that sounds good and from factory is a Abarth 595 Monza exhaust. All today’s 4 pot sound terrible even with aftermarket exhaust. And then they try and make up with pops and bangs 🤦♂️ the old cars from the 80’s-90’s sound ten times better.
I30N with its real anti lag system is nice, just about the only 4 cylinder that sounds decent.
Its the direct injection that makes them sound shite. Pops and bangs are just stupid.
STE_RS NUT fiats are gay af
Pa-ST well the gay little Fiat sounds a lot better than a RS straight from factory 👍🏻
And for staters it’s an Abarth not a Fiat.
A45 sounds amazing for a 4 pot. Listen to that.
Why did you have to put mudflaps on it? Just why?
@@CarFocused cool.
Pesao
stock system sounds better :/
WEEKDAY GAMERS true
But maybe on video is different...
WEEKDAY GAMERS you’re crazy
Doesn't want to focus... No, cause it's a Fiesta... Badumpum pshh!
Your exhaust tips are uneven my friend.
Thanks for the update. I watched it back twice now and realized it was the camera angle lol. It was driving me insane at first then I said hey, the whole car is angled, it has to be the camera.
Why did you get a fOrD 😂? Chav car lo,l Should of got a a45 or a rs3
Car Focused you’re welcome son 😂
I wish I bought a Ford. My Hyundai is just not as cool.
There is no exhaust ever made that can make the mk3 RS engine sound good.
The size of the exhaust tips compared to the actual exhaust itself, is a bit embarrassing. Talk about fake looks over actual functionality.
Sounds horrible. I guess some people love the LOOK AT ME EVERYONE I'M GOING TO THE SHOP sound .........
Sounds worse than stock sounds like a hoover
@@CarFocused I guess my preference is a deeper sounds and theses are too raspy for me I like the mk2 5 pot hope you enjoy it though cannot deny it is a nice car
