This is an excellent video with a detailed explanation. I have a Scorpion on my single cylinder BMW and I agree they are quality slip ons and like you I ride with the baffle in it's too loud without. I'm looking to get a Ducati Scrambler next year so glad I found you and your install is very well explained. Thank you again.
Hey Stevie Thanks for a great video, it’s just what I was looking for. Over the long term, how have you found the performance of the Scrambler with the Scorpion exhaust? Did you feel it needed tuning or were you happy with how it rode. How has the quality of the exhaust held up? Cheers from Down Under!
The early scramblers are lively at the best of times. On a cold fresh day it appsolultly flies and the sound is wonderful. The only thing I would say is , on a cold day you need to let it warm up properly. It tends to hiccup, not funny when pulling away. it’s not a big deal, probably could do with remapping.
Thanks for the video. I have the same bike and was considering the termi but was put off by having to get it mapped at a dealer. Does the scorpion require any remapping or are you going to tune it ?
Hi,When I spoke to them on the phone they assured me that each model has a baffle that’s designed specifically for your bike. When you think about it, it only comes down to the correct restriction of flow.
@@stevieg7403 by chance have you tried all the combinations in the print out supplied (baffles , flute, in- out)?, I know sound is subjective but was just wondering what you’ve settled on as the best combo. Also I doubt any of us would notice 1 or 2 bhp in the real world, but any thoughts on performance post the install ?
Yes I did! I couldn’t notice any difference in power. What I did notice was the sound 🥴 without the baffles the sound is way too loud for me, with both in place is about right🙆♀️
A slip on is not going to replace the heavy original cat box part of the original exhaust? Yet, you seem to take off the entire cat? Also, I assuming you will need to go through the entire procedure again for the MOT to pop that cat back on?
The slip on is street legal. It’s not compulsory to have a Cat on a motorcycle in the UK, it is compulsory for a bike to have one fitted when it leaves the factory. Once the leaves the factory it can be removed. “STREET LEGAL” is to do with noise, that’s why it’s illegal to remove the baffles.
The only time I’ve seen “ not street legal “ is on track pipes. Take a look on the website, they are street legal. In the UK a new bike can only be sold if they meet the latest EU levels. The same way a bike has the be sold new with mirrors. After you purchased the bike you can remove them and still pass an MOT.

Thanks for your kind words!. You won’t regret buying a Scrambler, it is an excellent no nonsense bike!
Absolute fantastic vid very explanatory great to watch do some more just ,started looking for that exact bike .Ash
You won’t regret it!
Nice video, hello from California! Did you have to get it tuned for the extra air flow? Thanks 🙏
Some people do, the bike does run a little lean from factory . I did not and I haven’t noticed any issues it absolutely fresh cold mornings.
My original exhaust was off before I even rode it.

? Yes it is, but of course minus the Cat.
We don’t have emissions test in the UK for motorcycles.
@@stevieg7403 In which case why is there a cat box on in the first place, and why do exhaust manufacturers usually stipulate not street legal?
