Volkswagen UP! 1.0 TSI Incl. 3 & 5 Door Models
2018 - 2024

Description

From their beginnings in the 1930’s and now part of the VAG group Volkswagen have grown to be one of the world’s largest car manufacturers. Initially focusing on affordable family cars including the iconic Beetle all that changed in 1976 with the launch of the Golf/Rabbit Mk1 GTI one of the first hot hatches and a real game changer. Following on from the GTI’s immense success the early 2000’s saw the launch of the first of their high-performance R models the Golf 4 R32. It was only natural that one of the very first performance exhausts Scorpion produced was for the GTI back in the early nineties and they’ve continued to be one of our most popular models to date.

Cat / GPF-Back System:

Our expert technicians have developed a 50.8mm/2” Cat / GPF-back system with a single 90mm tailpipe, specifically for the VW UP! GTI & TSI models. Explore the full specification breakdown and available options below!

This exhaust is available in two options: resonated, which includes a centre silencer to reduce drone and provide a more refined sound; or non-resonated, which removes the original silencer for a louder, more aggressive tone.

Once installed, the acoustically tuned silencers — featuring specialised, unique internals (on systems equipped with mid-silencers or backboxes) — and precision CNC mandrel-bent pipework enable the exhaust system to expel engine gases more efficiently. This results in enhanced power delivery, sharper throttle response, and reduced curb weight, thanks to the full stainless-steel construction. Designed for durability, our system offers exceptional longevity, even in the harshest conditions.

Tailpipe Styles:

Ascari: Our premium sport option, available exclusively in a matte carbon finish, highlights the distinctive sporty carbon weave. Its two-piece floating construction, with an inner brushed stainless-steel insert, allows hot gases to pass through without discolouring or weakening the outer carbon fibre shell.

Daytona: This design needs no introduction, the classic Scorpion Daytona slash-cut style with a modern twist on a timeless look. The Daytona is a great-looking option for everything from hot hatchbacks to flagship autobahn saloons.

Tailpipe Finishes:

Polished: Premium T304 stainless steel polished trims undergo a meticulous multi-step buffing process, resulting in a long-lasting, mirror-like finish that stays shining. (Available for Daytona trim only.)

Black Ceramic: The matte black finish provides a stealthy, modern look. The tailpipes undergo a specialised coating process, ensuring a durable and flawless finish. (Available for Daytona trim only.)

Turbo Downpipes:

Ready to push the limits — what are the benefits? We offer high-flow turbo downpipes for drivers and enthusiasts seeking maximum tuning potential — whether fine-tuning on the dyno or pushing every horsepower at the track. Scorpion’s advanced downpipe technology is engineered for uncompromising performance and built to endure.

Our downpipes increase horsepower, dramatically improve gas flow for better turbo spool and reduced back pressure, and amplify the exhaust note for a more aggressive, race-inspired sound. (For motorsport use only.)

Sports Cat: Equipped with high-performance sports catalysts featuring a 200-cell honeycomb design. This precision lattice structure offers significantly improved exhaust gas flow compared to the dense, high cell-count OEM catalysts. Emissions-conscious drivers can tune their vehicles while maintaining some level of control. Keep in mind that catalysts are most effective at their optimal operating temperature — not when cold.

De-Cat: Removes the catalyst entirely, allowing for maximum exhaust flow with no backpressure concerns — ideal for extreme high-horsepower builds. The purpose-built, smooth-bore design ensures optimal gas flow without the restrictions of a catalytic converter.

Interchangeability:

Scorpion’s interchangeable program offers flexible upgrades, allowing your exhaust to evolve with your tuning stages. Whether you’re looking to change the exhaust trim for aesthetics or require increased tuning capability with high-flow pipework, our system adapts to your needs.

Always check each product's technical data for fitment details before purchasing, as compatibility may vary, and interchangeability is not always guaranteed.

The Scorpion Advantage:

Precision-engineered Scorpion exhausts incorporate our cutting-edge track-to-road technology, sharing proven motorsport tech with you. Crafted from premium T304 stainless steel, designed to endure the harshest of conditions. CNC Mandrel bent construction provides unmatched gas-flow, enhancing throttle response and boosting BHP. The manufacturing process also ensures weight-saving gains compared to OEM.
