Exhaust impressions: Quicksilver vs. Larini vs. Cargraphic
A buddy of mine is getting ready to order an exhaust for his vantage and I told him I'd ask my fellow 6speeders here what their thoughts are. He's considering the Larini, Cargraphic and Quicksilver Supersport.
If you have one, please state which one you have and your impressions on:
Larini

Drop me a PM with your number or email and I'd be happy to discuss your options with you. I'm obviously biased towards the RSC system but I can give you an honest assessment of all the different sound levels available from the different companies
Cheers,
Stuart

I have a RSC exhaust and 200 cell cats - installed about 2 1/2 years ago. No quality issues, no fitment issues, no "drone", great sound thru all gears and RPM range, yes louder than stock. Highly recommend you check them out.

Quicksilver "Super Sport" exhaust:
-VERY loud, but tollerable in the city and on short drives.
-Simply Too loud on Hwy runs
-Drone particularily irritating under 2800rpm, a bit better around 3000rpm, just plain loud over 3300rpm
-Although too new to be truely subjective, quality seems fine
If I were shopping for another system, I would look for something between the QS "Sport" and "Supersport" or a system with an internal "Switch" to revalve for longer trips...a la Porsche 911.

Interesting thread, what did your buddy go for in the end?
I race a V8 in the UK, and we have QuickSilver Exhausts fitted, I absolutely love the deeper throatier roar, (more like v12) I have had people come up to me after the races, just grinning like apes and saying it sounds awesome!

precision porsch, I agree with Stearnsn. I too have a quicksilver ss. It sounds great, actually too quiet, so I too run without the 10# package tray. I also have stock cats but I am aware 200 cell cats will make the car significantly louder if paired with the Quicksilver SS.

I listened to both RSC and Quicksilver before buying. Quicksilver SS is what I have and my opinion is just the opposite. I think it sounds great, I actually feel it is too quiet in the cabin so I run without the package tray deal in the back. That makes it about right. No drone in mine that I notice. Sounds like business over 4000 rpm. I have stock CAT's. Maybe just a chocolate and vanilla thing.

What is the 10# package tray?
Please advise.

Alevine, In a conventional sedan or coupe the package tray is the horizontal surface between the top of th rear seat and the base of th backlite. The Vantage Coupe has a clever folding component in this location that acts as a sound barrier (to exhaust and other sounds), and sight shield (for the luggage compt.). This removable panel weighs about 10#. AM probably has aunique name for this assembly
