Scorpion GP Oval Flame Titanium HM Quick Review

Hello All, Here's a quick review on Scorpion's GP Oval slip-on I just installed on my 01 R1. Negatives: - No instructions - Quiet at Low RPM's - needs to rejet due to "popping" noise when decelerating - no clamp at the bottom (header) - mid pipe needs polishing - i hit the mid pipe quite often with my heel Positive: - looks :rock - screams at 6K+ - maintains passenger pegs - few peeps with Scorpion - easy to install - accelaration seems smoother Overall, I like the Scorpion. I use to have an Akra which I love the sound. Scorpion is a tad quieter, but looks awesome :yesnod . The hanger was a bit hard to put on due to the tear drop shape of the exhaust (not completely oval). The rubber part was hard to keep on. I love the way it came with two passenger extensions. One for the exhaust side and a smaller one on the left side. I guess this is to make sure that the passenger is not favoring one side over the other. I hope after the break-in period it gets a little bit louder. Overall, I'm quite impress with the quality. I'll have to polish the mid pipe to match the looks of the slip on. I just wanted a change after "dented" my akra after my lowside. My overall rating is a B+. It'll be an A once it breaks in. Here's a pix...I'll need to take more pix later to show you different angles. Notice how the slip-on is slightly short (maybe an inch or so compare to my akra).

is the can shorter than others, or jsut my eyes and that pic?

suicycle...yes, the can is shorter than others (see my last statement) :p

I went with the Scorpion GP oval on my 03 R1. I have the carbon fiber. Yes, the can is shorter than most slip-on's. If your looking for a loud can then the Scorpion is not the answer. If you want a sweet sounding mellow tone throughout the powerband then the Scorpion is a great choice. I have about 5k miles on mine. It has gotten louder after break in. I love this can. I have the high mount. It has the heal guard on the mid pipe and extentions for the pass peg. Mine came with very good instructions and a dyno for the 02/03 R1. No remapping at all. I've had it on a dyno and the fuel/air mixture is right on the mark. I'd have to give mine a A for sure. I get lots of looks and comments about it. The build quality is top notch.
