Construction & Design

The Scorpion Hi-Tuck exhaust system is constructed from aluminized steel tubing, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and heat to withstand harsh driving conditions and extend the system’s lifespan. Mandrel bending maintains a consistent diameter through all bends, minimizing turbulence and flow restrictions to promote efficient exhaust scavenging. This design enhances engine breathing and overall performance. The 18-inch chambered muffler is engineered to produce a deep, sporty exhaust tone that complements the rugged character of Jeep vehicles without excessive noise or drone. OE-style bayonet hangers ensure a secure, factory-like fitment, reducing vibrations and rattles for a refined driving experience.
