The sports exhaust makes the car sound like it should, and now sounds like it goes. Much better sounding than the 3.5 sports exhaust which I also had. The pops and bangs on deceleration are epic. I’ve got both, and as you said, it doesn’t take long to change them over, and so worth it.

Mine doesn’t pop and bang. Did yours start after a while Sven? Heard that some cars need the exhaust to bed in before performing theatrics.

Fast & unusual car + loud exhaust + plus (possibly?) no front number plate = unwanted attention from the Politzei !

I personally prefer 'Q car' performance over a boy racer loud exhaust!

Ducks for cover! :fence:

How much is it from Ariel (including VAT 😉)?
Are there any other additions to the options list, the one I have is from when I put my deposit down in Feb 2020?

Thanks

Phil
Phil, the price is £126

LSD (if not standard by now?) is a must.
Remote Brake Bias (nice to play with on track) and Baffled Sump (peace of mind with oil level on track days) are both worth having imo.
Nothing wrong with being 60+
Well done & good luck, Aidan

Yes, that's the one.
I can't remember how much it cost but it was less than £100 from memory.
I think it should be standard tbh.
It's transformed the gear change on track. It used to be rubbery and lacked precision but now it's great.
I'm not aware of any recent additions but I've not looked at a list for ages.

Cheers,
Stu

Is upgraded gear linkage bushing now a factory option?
Yes....and absolutely worth it too. Transformed my 5/4/3 gear change :tu:

Stu

Got it on mine too - no experience of what it is like without but it is very good with it.

If you fit the sports exhaust it will break the decibel limits at most venues so your ability to be able to track it will be extremely limited!!

Not worth the money IMHO!
You know after looking again, I now prefer the look of the twin outlets on the standard exhaust, so thanks for the nudge auto 😉👍
