[urq] SS exhausts

[Andrew B]

well I can't speak for the ease of installation, but I believe I have
a scorpion unit on my car (via the PO).  I don't exactly know the
setup, but it sounds great and looks good as well.  I drive 5 hours at
a time without worrying about it, it's not loud or intrusive, IMO.  It
sounds solid under power as well.  I can't speak for installing it,
but i haven't had any problems with maintenance/rust/failure etc.
since taking ownership.
