Product Information

Full details

The Scorpion De Cat Pipe is designed for serious drivers looking to unlock enhanced performance and a more aggressive exhaust note from their Ford Fiesta ST180 & ST200 (MK6). It achieves this by removing the factory catalytic converter, improving exhaust gas flow and engine efficiency, and is fully compatible with higher stage remaps. A key caveat is that this modification will render the vehicle illegal for use on public roads in the UK and may cause it to fail the MOT emissions test.

FAQs

Is this De Cat Pipe legal for road use in the UK?

No, fitting a De Cat pipe to a vehicle intended for use on UK public roads is illegal. It will cause the vehicle to fail its MOT emissions test and is not type-approved for road use unless specifically stated as '103R' approved, which this product is not.

Do I need an ECU remap with this pipe?

Yes, an ECU remap is generally required. Removing the catalytic converter alters exhaust gas readings, which can trigger engine fault codes and negatively impact performance if the ECU is not recalibrated.

What is the warranty on this product?

Scorpion offers a lifetime anti-corrosion and manufacturing defect warranty for the original purchaser. High-flow sports catalysts (if applicable to other products) have a 2-year warranty, but this de-cat pipe itself is covered by the lifetime warranty for corrosion/defects.

What is a GPF Delete section and when is it relevant?

GPF stands for Gasoline Particulate Filter. For vehicle applications from 2018 onwards, a GPF Delete section can be combined with this De Cat pipe to further maximize exhaust gas flow and performance. It's an additional component for specific newer models.

Will this improve my car's fuel economy?

While improved exhaust flow can lead to slightly better engine efficiency, the primary gains are in performance and sound. Significant improvements in fuel economy are not the main benefit, and aggressive driving to utilize the new power may reduce economy.

What sound can I expect from this De Cat Pipe?

You can expect a sportier, louder, and more aggressive exhaust note. The removal of the catalytic converter allows exhaust gases to flow more freely, contributing to a deeper tone and increased volume.

Can I fit this myself?

While technically possible for experienced DIY mechanics, exhaust system modifications and ECU remapping often require specialized tools and knowledge. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure correct fitment and prevent potential issues.

Troubleshooting

Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated after installation.

This is expected due to the removal of the catalytic converter. The vehicle requires an ECU remap to adjust engine parameters and disable emissions-related fault codes.

Vehicle fails emissions test during MOT.

A de-cat pipe prevents the vehicle from meeting emissions standards required for road use. This modification is illegal for public roads and will always result in a failed emissions test.

Poor engine performance or rough idling.

Ensure the De Cat Pipe is correctly installed and sealed. If issues persist, it indicates the need for an ECU remap, as the engine's fuel and air mixture may not be optimized for the new exhaust flow.

Concerns about warranty validity.

The lifetime anti-corrosion and manufacturing defect warranty applies to the original purchaser as long as the exhaust is fitted to the intended vehicle. Modifications like de-catting do not void the exhaust system's warranty, but always ensure installation is done correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significant improvement in exhaust gas flow and engine efficiency.
  • Produces a more aggressive and desirable exhaust note.
  • Optimized for use with ECU remapping for increased power.
  • Backed by a lifetime anti-corrosion warranty.
  • Designed for performance-oriented driving environments like track days.

Cons

  • Illegal for use on public roads in the UK.
  • Will cause the vehicle to fail MOT emissions tests.
  • Likely requires an ECU remap to avoid engine error codes.
  • Not suitable for environmentally conscious driving or daily road use.
  • Warranty may be voided if not fitted to the intended vehicle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • This Scorpion De Cat Pipe is specifically designed for the Ford Fiesta ST180 & ST200 (MK6).
  • For vehicle models manufactured from 2018 onwards, it may be combined with a GPF Delete section for maximum performance gains. Ensure correct fitment for your specific model year.

Setup:

  • Installation typically involves removing the factory catalytic converter and fitting the Scorpion De Cat Pipe in its place. This process usually requires professional mechanical expertise and specialized tools.
  • Crucially, fitting this de-cat pipe will almost certainly require an ECU remap. The vehicle's Engine Control Unit (ECU) monitors emissions and engine performance via oxygen sensors. Removing the catalytic converter changes the readings these sensors receive, which can trigger engine fault codes (check engine light) and affect engine management if not recalibrated.

Care:

  • The De Cat Pipe is constructed from durable materials and features a lifetime anti-corrosion warranty from Scorpion for the original purchaser.
  • Regular visual inspection for any signs of damage or extreme corrosion is recommended, though unlikely given the warranty.
  • No specific cleaning is usually required beyond general underbody cleaning. Ensure no corrosive cleaning agents are used directly on the pipework.
