Scorpion use the flange type connections So should slot together ok.
Are booth made for 1.8 or gti6?
The pipe size is 2.25 I think

Nice one mate, do u kno if it will affect the performance at all ?

I dunno if your down pipe is the same length and width as a gti6(rowell could probably tell you)
But the exhaust should fit together and then you may need to bodge something downpipe wise.

Right. Here is the deal.
The Gti and 1.8 exhaust manifolds are different. The cats are different. But from here on in the centre pipe and back box are identical.
What you need to know is that the gti6 cat has a flange and a sleeve where as the 1.8 only has a flange so you will not be able to fit any sleeved systems.
My setup was a decay and straight through centre pipe to a standard back box. It sounded amazing and with the after market ECU it would properly pop.
Then when the flange snapped on the cat I just about managed to sleeve the Magnex on. It was loud.
So my recommendation... Get a straight through sported centre pipe and some new clamps and get that on. If you want it to look good then get a full stainless system but make sure its the flanged type and not sleeved!

Not noticeably.
