Has anyone had issues with the scorpion exhaust fitting on a gti 180? Backbox fits fine to the standard centre section but when I fit the scorpion centre part the whole thing doesn't line up! Can't get the rear section onto the driver side hanger and it's pressed against the fuel tank heat shield.

take it along to your local exhaust center - they'll make it fit properly and i doubt they will charge you a fortune

sounds like you are doing it wrong!! Im sure there was a chap on here a relation to matty p who has just fitted his exhaust himself!! Should be a straight bolt on!

Had it on ramps at work, been trying to get it to line up but it all just sits on the p**s! Scorpion have had it checked on the jig, something just doesn't seem right!

They said it sits fine in the jig. May end up taking the car to their factory and they can have a go. Does anyone have a few pics of the exhuast fitted from enderneath? Mainly where is goes past the fuel tank and the back box.

Checked them, they seem fine. The place I got it from are reluctant to give a refund but quite within my rights to get a refund according to distance selling regs. Got an oem centre section and all is good!
