The Scorpion one, for another £100 extra, will go with the Scorpion decat downpipe I now have in a box in the garage. Whereas the RS Tuning one above replaces the current cat (which replaced the decat downpipe). I got confused by there being two ways to replace the OEM cat:
- OEM pipe -> OEM cat --> rest of system (what I now have)
- OEM pipe --> decat downpipe --> rest of system (what I did have)
- sports cat --> decat downpipe --> rest of system (Scorpion sports cat option)
- OEM pipe --> sports cat --> rest of system (RS Tuning sports cat option)

308bhp from 4921cc.

That's clearly 4.9 litres but everywhere seems to call the V10 a 5.0 for some reason.

Yep - E39 M5 4,941cc - "5 litre", unless you use maths.

The original Dodge Viper is my favourite car in BHP/capacity terms. 50 per litre. Good old American engineering.
How about not having a sig at all?

Possibly the same reason the C63 was always referred to as a 6.3. When it was a 6.2.

What was cool was the first run up was 400 point something (bam!), then 399 (boo!), then 403 third time through (yay!).
