Would it be the same for other aftermarket slipons? I have the micron pipes sitting here

Best measure it for your particular system if your sizing it for the replacement clamps - as diameters can differ depending on if gaskets are used or not. I've had to use different sized clamps when either using stock, micron or moriwaki link pipes.
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Damn was hoping you were going to say 50.9mm. Still at 52mm SP engineering can sort my links to fit their cans. These guys look like they do a really good job and have has some really encouraging reviews.

51 is doable probably actually 50.9 but i do believe the Scorpion systems are 52 just to be awkward so one cannot slip anything else on
