Construction & Design

Constructed from high-quality aluminized steel, the Scorpion axle-back exhaust system offers excellent resistance to corrosion and heat, ensuring long-term durability in demanding environments. The 2.5-inch mandrel-bent tubing maintains a consistent diameter throughout the system, eliminating flow restrictions and turbulence for optimal exhaust scavenging.
