better than them silly side exit things. A track biased car with side exit is silly for noise regs me thinks?

That looks really nice! I hated the fibreglass mess they had around the previous version of the exhaust, though I did like the exhaust itself.

Totally agree, WTF is that!!
The most I'd go with would be the Typhon/T400R type exhausts: even that detracts from the overall and intended effect.
More like a Smart car than a TVR!

I see Rover have pulled a fast one! If you look in the background of the second pic, they're flogging off the surplus 75s as new models to the unsuspecting Japs.

I personally think they're an improvement. But then I am biased and have to say that.

Definately, loses a lot of the 'character' from the rear angle now.

That just looks awsome - does anyone know how many TVR's are sold in the far east? If something like that dosent sell then I would be very surprised, I just cant believe that with such a fantastic range of cars TVR have been reported to only make two cars a week - they should be selling like hot cakes.

its "a step away from max power" without the spoiler and side exit cans.

i have a t350 and i'v had a few people say "why didnt you get the sagaris with the spoiler and the side exits, they're smart" who of course drive cars that are critisized for being "chav" modded cars.

no offence to the sagaris owners as they are great, the t350 is just more appealing to me from a style point of view.

I actually quite like it from the back, much cleaner and looks less like an afterthought, but perhaps a little bland from the sides. Overall the original is better IMHO as it’s just different from everything else on the road.

From that angle, it looks really nice IMHO - a definate improvement. Does anyone else have any other pics (side would be nice).
Also, it'd be interesting to see what the bonnet looks like. I wonder if that's a hint of things to come at the motorshow?

On a positive note, It's great to see less 'Max Power' offerings from Nick (considering the work he had done on the custom t350!)

Is it my eyes, or are there little rubber trims round the wheel arches?!
