#1: Scorpion cat back exhaust blowing Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Tue Jul 09, 2013 3:06 pm ---- HI all
I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with the scorpion exhaust on the 206 gti 180?
Mine has started blowing on the mid section. I have had it looked at and discovered the location
I have spoke to scorpion with regards to the lifetime warranty and got this back
1)Purchase a replacement centre section, have this fitted and then return the original for A credit providing the claim is valid.
2) Send the faulty one back and after inspection we will either repair or replace the part.
3) Bring your car to the factory and our engineer will repair or replace the part whilst you wait.
Do you think this is reasonable. I thought the second option sounded viable until he said I had to pay for carraige!!
All advice welcome. Thanks

#8: Re: Scorpion cat back exhaust blowing Author: mattymj, Location: NorfolkPosted: Wed Jul 10, 2013 1:31 am ---- I hoped it wouldn't be too loud as its still got that humongous back box
