Vantage 4.7 Muffler - OEM vs Sport
SubscribeI am looking for opinions on the differences between the OEM muffler and Sport Muffler.
Currently my car is set up with 200 cats and muffler delete straight pipes. Considering something a bit more discreet. I do not track the car and power is fine so i do not necessarily need more "power" or weight reduction, just interested in the tonal qualities of each... I kinda miss the ability to turn off fuse 22 for a change in sound...
What are your thoughts?

Valved exhaust is nice when you don't want a sporty sound, but I kept racing the engine wanting to hear the full exhaust, so I ended up pulling the fuse for the valves. Now I can drive like a regular person and hear lovely exhaust (with VAP Decats).

Another option is the oem sport valve exhaust and then a remote relay kit. I have the remote coded to the garage door opener. Most of the time its wide open but when i leave the house early in the morning I go back to stock valve operation. This way you dont have to plug and unplug the fuse and it only cost $20Originally Posted by MRCW

Sorry, I'm not on the forum very frequently. Ever since I had the blood pump in my chest roto-rooter'd, I've been busy pursuing other endeavors/interests before my shot-clock runs out. This makes it difficult to keep up with some topics.
Nevertheless, I still have an "almost new" factory Sport Exhaust with less than 600 miles sitting in my storage unit. If you're interested, I might be willing to let it go for a fair price.
Bear in mind the the muffler is packaged in a 63”x25”x13” wood and cardboard crate which I suspect weighs around 60-70 lbs. so I imagine that shipping might be a bit expensive. But if you want to make a short drive over to Melbourne to come pick it up, that would save you some dough.

Sorry to hear about your health issues. I can relate somewhat. A few years ago as I was taken to the hospital in the middle of the night suffering from chest pains and sweating profusely. Nothing like heart issues to realign ones priorities.

Gone are the grandiose plans, now its about staying alive.
I wish you the best.

Thanx. Did you get your new exhaust?

Wrong person. I am not looking for a new exhaust. (Smile)
"MRCW, Did you get..."
Must have hit undo without noticing.
