Now sold.

They really don’t need to boast about it on social media; they are busy on other more mainstream lines. Iain is a canny businessman. But I’m sure if you asked him he’d be more than happy to do the work. I can’t offer you a graph as I never had it on the dyno before or after. It’s not professional of me to divulge fitting costs, I’d suggest you give them a call directly to discuss. I wouldn’t hesitate to get the manifolds done; the oem ones are so restrictive when you look at them off the car! Plus, without the cats your engine bay will run cooler.

Yes it was. Litchfield have a lot of experience in a wide range of cars...not just GT-R's and Impreza's any more! They had an Emira in for Nitrons & a Milltek whilst I was there plus M3 Touring, Aventador, 911's, McLaren. A good bunch of guys, led by Iain who is a real gent.

Had these fitted at Litchfield yesterday along with a remap. The car now sounds awesome with more go. I'm delighted with the outcome. It feels like a different beast now which is exactly what I wanted.

Some progress from my original post...I now have the manifolds/headers. These are the new version from Aerie Performance with their premium heat insulation. And very nice they are too, lovely welds...nice to just look at and drool over. Next stage is fitting & mapping. Watch this space!

I’m considering these manifolds to delete the cats and make the car less emasculated: https://aerieperformance.com/products/motorsports-headers?fbclid=IwAR3Y1k0Gy2nheYzExKRhQNZxZQs2YK09Mh8_ULwQS7nSNxSIHuPQs9EfPXU I already have a 2Bular lightweight back box on the car. ‘Question is, what else do I need? I assume I’ll need a modified Down pipe with a sports cat/flexi joint in. will I need new lambda sensors with longer leads? will I need to get the car mapped - is it recommended? I can only assume by deleting the cats the car should perform slightly better? Any advice appreciated, thanks.

Good job! To do a proper job takes a long time, more so on these cars than others I’ve had tbh. Thanks for posting.

That’s a great choice of direction - RS6 and R7. Well done that man! Ignore all the negative comments - I don’t get people and I don’t like them or their views so I say each to their own. You can’t beat the feeling of riding a bike; I don’t care what car it is, it will not come close to the sensation of riding a bike. Just have to be very mindful of other f@ckwits on the road and their unpredictability. But enjoy your choices, I think they’re bloody perfect!

Hats off to you for getting Ken Block to do the sanding.

Has anyone else had this issue? Fitted GRP V3 lights to the Exige but when you turn on the fog lights (to light up all 4 rear lights), the Traction control light lights on the dash and you can’t select sport/race modes. ‘Greg from GRP advised I need to fit a resistor to overcome this which I have done but I’m still getting the same issue. He said I could link up the red wires between the outer and inner lights to have all 4 on at the same time which I have done but doing this also lights up the TC on the dash. ‘I’ve sent Greg pics of how I connected up the resistor and he said it looks right. I know some Evora owners had the same issue but can’t find anything from Exige owners?

If Davey D isn’t interested then I will be!

What a nightmare; so sorry to see your car like that.

Great photos, thanks for sharing.

I’d like to add the 430 Cup Shark Fins to my car but the latest ones go all the way down over the sill whereas earlier versions stopped level with the top of the sill. DeRoure only offer the later version. Any ideas where I can get the previous ones?

If you look under ‘S2’ you will find the black ones which fit although they don’t have the conical washers, they’re one piece.
