i don't have one but i have looked at them and they seem to be high quality and they sound good. i think scorpion and akrapovic were once one in the same company.

 

THANKS FOR THE REPLY

 

Scorpion is a nice pipe. Quality is top notch. Sounds about like a Micron. I have the high mount, they do make a low mount and an extreme high mount. It still allows you to use the passanger pegs, I just dont have mine on in this pic. Nor does this pic do it justice, glare distorts it. :hellobye

 

i b'lieve scorpion was once owned or own akra also

 

Nope, Akrapovic used to be called Scorpion, too confusing it seems so they changed it.

so are you saying that they have always been two different companies that happen to have the same name??

 

Yes, one was spelt Skorpion (Akra) then Scorpion appeared on the scene - previously making car products only if I remember correctly.

 

Your right biaggi, Skorpion/Akra even had a similar motif to Scorpion before they changed to just the swoopy name as their badge. You could never mistake the quality between the two products tho!

 

akapovic is the same company as scorpion!! or in other works akapovic make scorpion exhaust, is two exhausts but two names, but same company! hope this helps.
and yeah it's the best pipe for a slip on , and I do have one on my 03R6 , sound like a micron cf high exit!! :rock

 

please do the research... :fact

Scorpion with a 'c' - is manufactured in Great Britian and also produces car exhausts and many aftermarket accessories. a fairly new company with good products...

Skorpion with a 'k' - now known as AKRAPOVIC is located in Slovenia (or Bosnia... whatever you choose to call it)... BEST motorcycle exhaust builder in the world... been around a while and changed its name from Skorpion to Akrapovic when Scorpion exhausts appeared on the market

 

akrapovic...good....scorpion ...garbage...i know like 3 people that had scorpions and they all said that they were crap....i dont like em ..i have an akrapovic slip on and mine sounds way better than a scorpion

No way man!!!! akrapovic may be best pipe in all kingdom but it sounds like crap!!! scorpion in other hand sounds sweet! nice lound mellow sound>>
If I get a akrapovic I will go with full exhaust! but I'm going for a way better full exhaust > devil:jump :butt

 

Every bike i've heard an Akrapovic on sounds great. Including my R1.

You sell Arata and have an Akra???? :2bitchsla

J/K...

 

Scorpion slip-on exhausts have a deep sound. They don't have a high pitch sound like other exhausts I've heard.

Scorpion exhausts are high quality, but if you're going for a louder pipe; this isn't it.

 

yes its true.. akrapovic was once called skorpion... VinR1 is correct.. the company had a K in its name.. now there is a new Scorpion.. it is different from the old skorpion.. i bet the new scorpion company sold alot of pipes because ppl were confused and thought they are the same as akrapovics.. lol.. suckers.. hehehe... IXI

 

Yep, Scorpion with a c is aUK company who only started making bike pipes when Skorpion with a k (now Akra) became succesful - big legal wrangles ensued but because teh car company came first they won and Mr Akrapovic (who was teh founder of Skorpion with a K) decided to name his product after himself.

Scorpion with a c make a nice can but not up to Akra standards, however, to say Akra is the best exhaust manufacturer bar none is a bit of a stretch - they have only got the rep on the track because they spent 2 years GIVING all their products away free to anyone who would take it.

Akra have not yet won a single back to back test (they came second to me in the biggest so far by MCN last year) but that does not mean they are not good - just not necessarily the best.

Scorpion are also very good quality (though their carbon is a bit ropey to be fair) and have ISO 9000 quality approval (that's the highest standard in the UK) - I think the only ones to have it..

Obviously I am biased but I would say my stuff is the best, followed for cans by MHP then Akra. When it comes to systems it would be Akra then very close behind Hindle - but Hindle is 1/2 the price!
