Anyone out there have a after market exhaust (Quicksilver, Supersprint, Larni, etc.) fitted to their car? Back box or full exhaust I'm interested in either.
I'm looking for someone between say Southern Scotland to Birmingham as I live in Kendal, Cumbria who I can come to for a listen.
I know that there are plenty of clips on You Tube but I'd like to hear it "in the flesh" if possible before making a decision to purchase or not.
Thanks
Pete.

 

Thanks Rico, keep me posted!

 

So, whilst trying to make up my mind on the exhaust (as I like a bit of noise!!) I thought I'd do the exhaust flap mod, so the flaps are always open.
At first (2 weeks ago) I loved the extra sound & hearing that burble all the time, but............at around 60mph I found the drone rather annoying. I done about 550 miles last weekend with (unfortunately) a lot of it at around 60mph due to traffic on the M6/M40.
So today I've reinstated the flap so they only open when the engine us under load or the gearbox is in "Sport" mode.
I'm going to keep looking for an exhaust but until then I think I'll leave as is.
Just thought I'd share my thoughts on the forum.

 

Funny, I've disconnected the vacuum tubes from the rear tailpipe flaps about 6 months after I got my car and haven't even considered going back. I love the noise it makes at any speed and couldn't imagine hooking them back up. It's funny how "relative" sound is. Like colors and other things, what one finds good, another doesn't....variety makes the world go around...eh? And, I'm still trying to find that AM radio ****. Good "talk" blasting away and I can't hear the exhaust at all...LOL...

 

Yes, Mr BWings I'm quite surprised at myself for wanting to go back, it was simply the drone that hit a sour note with me. As you say each to their own. Funny thing is my wife says shes missing the noise & didn't notice the drone so as I just said to Rico I might have to change it back!

 

LOL, I'm not showing my wife this response!

 

My wife is ok with it so far, but I am certain she has no idea how much I'm spending to make this car perfect. $4,200 for my first repair, $7,000 for the sound system, another $2,500 for a second infotainment (temporary, should get a refund) than a $9,000 engine-out "replace-all-the-stuff-that-could-fail" job, so I'm in about $20k on a $32k car. Plus, I want my wheels powder coated, new tires and a new windshield.

Probably should have bought a later-model, more expensive one, but my car is absolutely beautiful and is still waiting for its first ding.
