Just got my new exhaust from moto-concept.de

here's the pics:

Old and new side by side (can you tell which is which ?)





If they don't show up, have a look at http://community.webshots.com/user/rob_e3

Nicer sound than the sports exhaust, slightly louder but not too loud (quieter than straight pipes). Quality is excellent.

V happy.

Hey Rob,

That does look quite nice. I was looking at it on their website a while back. My second exhaust system has cracked a pipe and is being replaced under warranty again, but for some odd reason, I have little hope that it will ultimately last.

What is the writing on the exhaust tip say? Is the entire unit made of stainless? I also was looking at the Tubi exhaust system for the Esprit V8 but have not seen a price for it. Do keep us updated on how it holds up.

If my eyesight is correct, the writing says "Moto Concept". How much?

According to their website they offer two V8 Stainless exhausts. One is a "Super Sound" and the other is a "Racing". The Super is listed at 1230 Euros and the racing is listed at 1800 Euros.

I'd like to get a price on the Tubi exhaust which is also Stainless and carries a lifetime warranty. Would also be interesting to see a comparison of the three compared to the standard Lotus and Lotus Sport exhausts for the V8.

Yes, it says "moto-concept" on both sides of both pipes.

I had a price for a tubi from a supplier in the uk - it worked out almost twice the price that i paid for the moto-concept system, however you DO get that lifetime cover with the tubi that you won't with this system.

Marcus (moto-concept) has a tubi in stock and told me that my system is about 20% lighter than the tubi. This system has some additional bracing to prevent cracking.

Hi Rob
would you be able to record the sound at the rear of the car? (a few second only) i'd like to compare with the Lotus sport exhaust.
Thank's,
John.
