Pops and Bangs ......../Roof question?

[Paza3]

Hi guys

Was after some advice , I purchased a quicksilver exhaust the other day and was planning to get fitted soon but before I started I wanted to call on peoples experience ...... Will you only get that aggressive pop and bang sound from removing the cat. I was hoping to avoid a decat route due to possible drone/ mot issues etc. I have a n/a Exige s2 and my friends exige sounds insane with a decat but really loud! Lol

Also I removed the hardtop over the weekend which transformed it to another level on the old fun factor! I did discover however that one of the brackets on the drivers side at the back had the thread crossed on the nut part of the bracket meaning it will not know tighten up so therefore require a replacement where is the best place to source these parts?

Thanks for your input guys as ever,

ps Exige ownership now 48hrs in and loving it

Cheers Paza

Are you sure it's cross threaded? The bolt on the Elise roof has a threaded section, then a smooth part then another threaded section. Just checking!

No it should pop and bang with the catalyst still in place. Mine certainly does with just a 2bular catback.

Larini club sport exhaust with cat and mine pops and bangs on overrun

it'll pop with a decent cat back system, here is a 1.6 club racer with just a larini, sounds like warfare on the over run

Great stuff I not bother with the decat then and see how it goes.... is there any performance increase with a decat?
