Hi ! I was thinking of getting the quicksilver exhaust pipes...what do you think ? Should the tips be bigger ? Has anyone tried them ?

I've the quicksilver. I also noticed a big performance difference! Turbos are punping more and the pression goes up much faster. The sound is great but very noisy if u push!

Try the original Lotus Track Silencer. We´ve sold 6 off them and until now all our customers are very happy with it. Very good sound and good quality.

The factory silencer is purely to meet regs. The early V8's actually broke their tabs and had to be replaced under warrany! We have removed several and the best results are: Straight pripes from the cats back ( not very loud ) or better still a crossover system that we build that finally makes the engine sound like a REAL V8 instead of 2 four bangers. No silence is needed. The turbos and the cats silence the car enough. You would be amazed what a crossover does though! Southwest European, Scottsdale AZ www.sweuro.com

This sounds interesting. I am trying to keep up with the noise from my pals Tuscan! I have the sports exhuast and its noisy - a new "straight through" system will be louder? Hate it - lurv it!

You must have the European system..the US muffler is positively boring! i am building a 'crossover' cat back system with no muffler. The stock, as well as straight through system sounds like two four cylinder engines..I want the real flat crank V8 sound! Victor www.sweuro.com
