Before I buy a new exhaust for my S2 111S it occurs to me that I should at least have a listen to Lotus' own offering. I have spoken with my dealer (SGT) about this but - after several weeks - it seems they have failed to have a single car thus equipped through their workshops.

So, does anybody here have an Elise S2 fitted with the Lotus Sport exhaust? If so, do you happen to live near Berkshire / M25 / Southend (my home and regular commute)? Finally, can you spare a few minutes to take me for a blast up the road in your car so I can hear the system from inside as well as outside?

There's no harm in asking, especially as its Christmas :-)

Certainly I wasn't hugely impressed with the Janspeed one ... either for sound (too noisy for motorway) or build quality.

I do like the look of the Bell & Colvill one as it seems a solid product, all stainless. The exhaust note is OK - a bit like the Larini - but I'd really like a little more bass and less treble so it sounds a bit less like a motorbike.

I think that, for me at least, the choice is probably between B&C and Lotus Sport ... and I'll probably know the moment I see and hear the latter.
