Exhaust

[Couger]

Guys

Anyway of getting a bit more of a supercar sound out of the standard exhaust without spending wads of cash

Custom pipes with an off the shelf muffler (and cat) doesn't cost much money. Any muffler shop can do it, but I'd bring an Esprit to a higher end place ..as I did with mine.

De-Cat if you have one (I suspect you dont?) will get you 30% more racket!

Failing that, Blueflame or Quicksilver for cheapie exhausts or Torque Technique for bespoke quality work.

Ive had a read of the article on LEW on Blueflame, looks quite good with the twin exits, Id have to do some work with my rear valance Im assuming I wouldnt need a whole new rear section... to accomadate the extra pipe.

I just had the exhaust place I used cut another hole. Looks good I think

[Guest Troy Halliday]

Not sure I'd trust any greese monkey to cut a hole in my car. But it does look like they did a good job.

[Couger]

Looks great really looks the part, mines a bit different has got the SE bumper with the mesh along the bottom but should be straight forward for someone who does it day in day out.

Best workmanship Ive ever seen on exhausts was from Torque Technique (Bibs' hole cutter! )

Spoke to a chap called Ian today from Blueflame, very nice and helpful, Very happy with the price he gave me for the twin exit conversion, initialy he quoted

Hi Ian, I know Ian at Blueflame. Their work is pretty good and Iam hoping to get a twin soon. One thing I don't get Ian, is why are you even thinking on buying a twin exhaust when you have a perfectly good stainless steel single exit exhaust and you've put your car up for sale?

Seems a bit odd, isn't is a waste? If you sell your car and you've had the twin put on then I'll gladly buy it off you!!

If you're keeping the car and you are going to Blueflame then you can always come a collect these S300 side spats. Blueflame is about 20 miles away or 25 minutes.

Dave, you know me better than anyone on here and to say Iam unpredictable is an understatement, I only really put the advert out to test the water and it was as I expected dreamers and timewasters. Our lass is getting quotes for a loft conversion as we speak, so an upgrade is well and truelly dead in the water, not that Im bothered anyway, hey I have a beautiful car with a new engine, and its running like a dream... will have to give you a ring about them heaters sometime, Im trying to get it in middle of next month, will be an all day episode 6 am start, you have a good point about already having a perfectly good exhaust, I havent got an answer to that one Im afraid

hi guys

im new to all this. maybe buying a gt3 ive seen during the week.

id be looking to change the exhaust to the twin exit.

who are torque technique?

do they have a web site?

ive been on the larini web site they seem quite good. have you heard of them?

also would anyone recommend a sports air filter? maybe the blue flame kit? not sure how much or how good it is?

cheers dave

[Bibs]

Torque Technique are based in Salisbury, I'll dig out their phone number in a day or two for you. And to be honest, I'd imagine that your GT3 would have a good air filter, however replacements can be either Green Stuff from PNM Engineering, or K&N from SJ Sportscars.
