It has a completely different down pipe http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111987135389? ... EBIDX%3AIT

The Scootering review http://www.scootering.com/exhausting/ favoured the Clubman - on cost as much as anything else -

Having put them side by side and one on top of the other there is very little difference. The downpipe on the Ancillotti isn't quite as rounded as the "U" in the downpipe on the Scootopia but it's pretty negligible and I'd be amazed if it had any effect on the running performance. I do like the fact that the Ancillotti one has the name embossed on the box section, albeit in a place where you can't see it, but I don't like it £70's worth.

I had one on my bike for a while. The chrome down pipe was actually bright zinc plated, and burnt off in a couple of hundred miles. Weirdly it was stainless steel underneath so I just cleaned it up and all was well. Yes it blocked the drain plug.
The stub is also odd as it has a smaller cross section than a big bore gasket so I had to open it out or it wouldn't really be a 42mm clubman, more like 38mm.
Seemed nicely put together and I'm keeping it for a project I have on the back burner.
