After a real indecision between the 350 and Tuscan a test drive back to back confimed it had to be the 350. Cooper green (the one from Gorners).
1. Sports exhausts - I have got it coming with a set of JP pipes. Should I get blue flame instead or go for the TVR version instead ? (will be used for track days but dont mind changing the boxes if necesary). I want a good loud meaning full noise with plenty of pops and bangs. I am concerned with any loss of power or risk to the engine.
2. Rear speakers - I have factory front already fitted. Will replace these with better quality and set up so they only handle the mid/high end by capping the speaker. For the rears I suspect I will need 6x9 or similar and again with the intention to cap off the high end frequencies and only use them for base. Any suggestions for the rear ?

I can see both of these topics have been covered before but thinking changes and also cannot work out if there is a trend for one thing or another.

As ever I appreciate any and all comments
Thanks

6x9s would be nice in the rear. However you'll need to either relocate the boot opening solenoid or build out a box section. The solenoid is just inside the LHS speaker hole, right where you want to cut a bigger hole for the 6x9s. It's doable, but harder than you probably first thought.

I replaced the 10cm rears with 13cm Pioners - not megabass, but a lot more sound drive than std.

For the exhaust, only you know what sounds you like - try the JP one for a bit and see if you like it.

I have DSL rear speakers in my tamora. Excellent quality. Very slightly bigger than standard 6x9s.

sorry, can't advise regarding exhausts, but tvr power one is popular I think, given recent threads
