Eventually took the plunge and had a new exhaust put on the M5 - well, new silencers and tips at least.

I wanted to bring out the noise a bit, but fairly subtly as I use the car for business and family duties. This seems to fit the bill nicely. Motorway cruising is as refined as usual with no noticaable difference, but it sounds glowious when under load. Also sounds good and throaty at low revs and when decelerating.

Fair bit of weight saving too (one box each side rather than the original two) and allegedly the easier breathing will increase power a bit.

What do you think?

If you like and are interested, let me know and I can get you a good deal - as in GBP 500 (fitted). You can also keep your original rear boxes and if you dont like, you can have original boxes put back on for free.

i paid just over a £1000 a few months ago for pipes how come you managed to find them fitted for £500? car sounds great by the way, the standard system doesn't do the car justice. i went for milltek backboxes, 1st gears addictive, i love this engine note.

Yeah I was looking around but could not bring myself to spend that much money. Even ordering a Hayward and Scott is over 550, plus then you need to get it fitted.

Luckily i know someone who has their own garage and specialise in exhausts, so they could build a system, bedn some pipes and put it on for mate rates. now he's fabricated one though, can do me good prices for more - hence putthis on incase anyone wants to take advantage.

Glad you like... and i love a bargain!
