   Ok so after some testing with old system off and scorpion system including de-cat on and a little drive around, car feels a lot less pokey and more slugish. Is this due to it needing to be remapped or something else going on somewhere.
   
   Car also gone though service. Oil change, oil filter change, spark plug change, next in line is petrol filter. However since the old magnex backbox and standard cat and central section has been replaced with scorpion system it seems setting off and 2nd n 3rd seem lot less responsive but drive seems smoother if that makes sense, but as in terms of grunt n force like pushing you into your seat seems a lot less.
   
   Any advise on this one?

   Thx stevo will try.
   
   Also with the hanging points on back box how the fk stop them coming off their well over it and some mad reason are slipping right back off on it or to the point go over a bump by looks of it and will knock it off. Any recommendations for this as have correct ones to hang it. Might just scrap the idea of this scorpion system and put default back on to it with magnex back box on.

   Did the Scorpion come off a 106? Maybe someone has modded the hanger positions.
   
   You would drill the hangers and put a clip through it like the man himself has done:

   Mine looks nothing like that.
   
   I have found tho on the system is off a pug hence the fitting and mine is exactly like this pic so am half tempted to sell the full unit because it is not centered and feels slugish.
   
   
   
   @SGregg going to try that next or find some other rubbers as maybe the rubbers been used and might need different as the ones on it are only just over it and wont go all the way down proper over them, so I think this is par the cause.

   Bend the exhaust bracket to fit,put the rubbers on.Then pull up tight with a cable tie.

   its already bent to the point to fit rubber on and will need hammer and can easily brake it by doing too much no doubt. Have already tried to move but cant actually bend the or push as its not moving. Even looking at it even bending brackets to it wont budge as the shape of the pipe work and way its bent only option maybe get it cut to shape but would be a lot fking around

   A pugsport shouldn't hold you back at all. Sandy reckons they're good for 190-200bhp.
