It was from the prima online shop on ebay!
Scorpion Silencer with 76mm tail. £95 new?
Not sure if thats really cheap but it doesnt seem bad.

it will go on but ours hit the bumper
and didnt line up properly. If you know someone who can weld the tail pipe CAN be cut off and re-welded at the right angle thats what we did.

Prima Racing are Cituning and those tailboxes were made by Scorpion but I suspect somebody else makes them up now.
The tailpipe is indeed poorly angled so you have to cut the bumper or reangle it.

There a doodle to fit, but they do catch the bumper. fortunatly mine has already been cut out for a previous one so it s nice and snug!
