I had Neil Micklewright's custom Lotus exhaust installed today. Some quick observations:

1. It is a LOT louder. I am sure most people would call it a mean/agressive sound, but I drive it about 20,000 miles a year, so I hope I get use to it.

2. It was a perfect fit.

3. I will say it is a tiny bit faster.

4. The only slightly bad thing I can
say is the exhaust tip is WAY smaller
in diameter than the stock tip. The
cutout in the rear valance panel
dwarfs the tip.

The way I contact Neil is to go into the Turboesprit yahoo website, go to
old message 45736, which is from Neil when he first made the exhaust, and e-mail him from there. My computer skills would not fill up a thimble.

Record the sound and play it here?!?!
See above. Seriously, tell me how and I will give it a try.

I think the way that exhaust is made is to use it like that with a small pipe for less restrictive activites and if you want to quiet it down use a Borla resonator tip or something like it. The resonator tip is a little larger than the pipe diameter you start out with so you can size it however way you want. Plus the carbon fiber/SS tips looks good. They have many size combinations of the in/outs of the tips.
