hey mate

i have a HKS d/pipe its only mild steel. fits perfect though.

Not to well up on scoprpion stuff but the HKS has a 3inch bore, so you would need to see if it will mate up to the centre you have.

I have a scoobyworld ninja centre & it fits to that no problem and that is a 2.5inch (normal size afaik).

hope that helps

Unless they have changed the design the HKS downpipe isn't the best. Where the wastegate exits the HKS used to just have a flange, where as other designs either had a sort of open neck or twin dump design.

They're both only mild steel as far as I know.
I almost bought the scorpion one a long time ago, but ended up getting the Hayward & Scott item instead.

I think there is a group buy on the hayward and scott dp's at the moment, these are your best bet of the three and with the discount not much more money (if not the same). The last three HKS downpipes i have fitted have been 2.5", i havent seen a 3" HKS DP yet, I'm suprised the scorpion DP is mild steel as the rest of the system is stainless whereas the HKS stuff is genarally all Mild steel apart from the backbox.
