Hello Eric,

Not sure I understand the question? Maybe you can also try here: http://www.lotusespritforum.com/forums/

Is this the black V8 GT from Paris or the silver one from Annecy? - I'm also looking for a V8 in France too.

K&N filters make the incoming air sound better. I think what you are looking for is a wastegate/dump valve (like in a Noble or some of the import tuners) I know that there are dump valves out there for the V8 but have no direct experience.

I use the Tubi stainless steel silencer. Sounds good and fits good. I also have the hyperflow stainless cats as well

i buy my car in italy 2 days ago.
it's a 2000 model.

what i'm looking at is the of the turbo's when we stop accelerating (the wossssshhhhh sound) is to lound i think for the moment.

just changing the air filter maybe is enought?

...except that he has a V8 so would need two of the appropriate type of dump valves for it. I know that there have been a few fitted to the V8's but can't seem to remember who. Obviously ExtremeEsprit probably has one. Certainly Larry Marsala's racer would...
