I have a Larini Club Sport on my 111S. It makes the car sound as good as it looks.

You will want to drive through tunnels. biggrin

Larini charged £457,Inc postage to Westover Poole,I also had a new black rear Diffuser fitted which really sets the chrome pipes off which costs £300,so the costs of fitting the pipes was kind of lost in the scheme of things. You carn't take it with you as they say!
Go on,get one,they are well worth the money...

I'm sure this has been covered a million times, but what are the merits of Larini vs Lotus Sports vs 2bular for a Toyota-engined car? Everyone seems to like theirs best. I will be getting one fitted early next year and would like the best I can really for fast road use.

Click on my profile and click VIDEOS, there's some comparisons in there of my old Larini exhausts.

It's down to preference of the exhaust note and price, really. Both are of great quality, I bought my Larini when we had a bulk-buy on 4 years ago and it's still going strong.

One thing - if you're buying a Larini, order it via Elise-Shop rather than direct as it's usually quicker.

Many thanks, chaps. To be honest when the time comes, I would rather get the best I can and wait if my budget won't meet it initially. I will probably have to try and listen to them all, although that might take a while. Does Jim at 2bular do fitting as well? I'm pretty "special" when it comes to working on cars...

I think those Videos might be the final push I needed... Larini shaped Christmas present for the Lotus I think smile

Saw a black with yellow stripes Exige comin thru one of those by northumbria uni today. Although I should say, HEARD one comin thru the tunnel before it popped out into the sun. Mint.

Larini had sent the wrong model first time, but it's there now! So now it's only going to happen on Thurs. The days will go slowly this week!

If it was one white stripe + one yellow was most likely me giving the larini some voice on the loud peddle through the tunnels.

JC _ quick word of warning when you have fitted a larini; you're mileage increases as you take ever increasing random drives just to hear the soundtrack the car now has. biggrin

F1 fitted my Larini club sport a couple of months ago after a recommendation from Zebs, tunnels on the central motorway are a must as is the tyne tunnel.

Had a couple of comments on porkers that my car is very loud and thats without an induction kit thumbup

Oh my goodness! It's totally class! And there's me worried that the Sport wouldn't be loud enough! I LOVE THE CENTRAL MOTORWAY (2nd gear). And the tunnel near Central Station (1st gear) and the Cradlewell tunnel, (1st gear). And burbling around in low gears. And it has started to pop already, (just quietly for now but I'm sure it'll develop). Don't really get a flavour of the rasp until in a tunnel, but when you do, it's classic! Fortunately, you DO get a sense when standing behind. What a difference.

Yes indeedy, I'm chuffed. Diff character to the car, feels more responsive etc etc (ref all other Larini and new exhaust-based posts).
