Very nice...love the exhaust and the boost pipes look like art work!

Have you got any sound clips?
Not yet but will make a video soon.
- nice bit of turbo flutter when changing gear.
- unique "pigeon" noise when changing at around 2k.
- Very loud roar when booting it.


Looks really nice mate, one of my favourites this :D
Cheers mate, appreciate it.

I want to see pics of the bottom pipe of how they routed it etc :)
In time Brad, car need to get on ramps at AmD soon so Kenny can inspect work. i also need some dimension of turbo, clearance for new TIP.

Love it Maz :)

the tailpipe is great, it hugs the rear bumper so well.. Like it was meant to be. Your bay is looking much better too. I'm not surprised you were so pleased.

I'll look forward to our drive in feb.... It should go quickly for me, I go to Barbados for ten days on the third... I can't wait.

Maz your car is looking spot on I love that exhaust looks the bees knees as for your engine bay that is pure sex . All I can say is your detailing must be going well as I'm sure it cost a fair bit .

Very nice.

Up until your pictures I always thought the LCR exhaust was as good as it got for that bumper shape.

Now yours has taken this one set further, TOP JOB!!

Exhaust opinion
-----
Went out today for a litte blast to Tesco and back. The performance of the car has definately changed for the better. The turbo spools up at least 500rpm sooner now and I would say responsiveness is almost close to stage 1 old turbo style. The progressiveness of the power is so so smooth that at 3000k when the turbo is fully spooled you don't get that massive lump which causes unwanted wheelspin. Of course you still get the surge of torque which is great. The torque has increased massively across the whole range and it feels savagely quick now. So much so that the mph climbs up so quick I haven't taken her past 4k yet.

So the title is exhaust opinion. The sound of the exhaust and engine has lowered the tone. It sounds great from 1900 to 2750. The slow build up of the roar really urges you on. Motorway / dual carriage way cruising is fine and not boomy at all. My concern is that on full chat it's so so loud! I think that even on a spirited drive people will hear me from 10 miles away. I will get some videos and opinions first before I take any corrective action. I may end up puttin a small silencer on the back.
