the exhaust is arriving this monday, i cant believe how quick this has come from the us!!! by mid next week ill see if i can post a vid for you guys!!!
 
looks fantastic :thumbsup: Doesn't seem THAT loud in the vids but they can be misleading.
Interesting design, only two exit pipes from the boxes which then split. My custom system has a similar set up but this is the first time I've seen a manufactured design the same.
Those boxes are very small, wonder how loud it would be if you deleted the centre box and binned the 'square' pipework. :o

Also make sure you're careful where you give it any beans, as the newer anti anti-social behaviour laws mean a PCSO or PC can give you a ticket (S59 notice). Get a couple of these within 3 years and your car can be towed.

These are NOT appeal-able, so you have to be careful - although you can complain to the Cheif Constable/IPCC if you think the bobby has done something wrong.

The Rules said:
In order to satisfy the conditions of issue of a s59 notice, TWO separate conditions must be met.
Vehicles used in manner causing alarm, distress or annoyance
(1)
Where a constable in uniform has reasonable grounds for believing that a motor vehicle is being used on any occasion in a manner which—
(a)
contravenes section 3 or 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (c. 52)(careless and inconsiderate driving and prohibition of off-road driving), and
(b)
is causing, or is likely to cause, alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public,

And it's up to the bobby to decide if it's 'causing alarm, distress or annoyance'.


You can't get a S59 just for having a loud exhaust though. You'd have to be guilty of the first part of S59 as well, which is for S3/34 of the RTA, or careless/inconsiderate driving, as you quoted above.
 
The 'get out' they seem to be using is that you're accelerating in a manner that is inconsiderate and thus the first part supports the second as the second supports the first.

Plus, as you have no right of appeal the first part can be complety fabricated to support the second. Although I do believe most of the car owners have not done well in the 'attitude test' when questioned and have talked themselves into the S59.

The exhaust is seriously light, were talking massive weight savings here, so its really nice to see some weight coming off this car!! i fitted the exhaust myself on my back in the driveway, i Really wouldnt pay anyone to do this it really was that easy. The instantly sounds like a beast, at idle its a bassy burble and once the evs get goin my god!! i need to get about 2-300 miles on it to coke it up alittle and mellow the sound, but quality, fit and finish are on par with o.e quality, Its nice to have a s54 which sounds as well as it goes!! But one thing i will say i didnt realise how loud this was going to be!! mmm five posted somethink about sounding 10x as loud at this db level and hes completely correct!! sorry for the pants pics i had to go pick up the missus, so shoved it in the garage and took these quickly.
 
You'll have to come on the north Wales run this weekend to show us how loud it as, as we all know how video can mask the true volume.
 
vids soon guys soooon! The noise is unbelievable!! i would have never thought the s54 could make a noise like this! Think true exotic!
 
i actually liked the rpi logos!! lol i must have tacky taste, the sound with the roof down is borderline sex!
 
i did make a video, but its so loud that the cam just picked up distortion!!! ill be on the track shortly so a vid from futher away will be much more suitable.
 
'Dub,

Fantastic news. It may have been mentioned already, but what's the retail on this system?

Assuming it's not too expensive, I might well be tempted.
