Hi Paul,
Interesting what you say about the exhaust sound. I had a problem
with project coupe over the exhaust sound at MOT. They flagged it as
too loud. Strangely, this was the same garage that has been passing
my son's coupe with a stainless magnex single box system year after
year. The MOT test is subjective only - no measuring instruments
required. (or indeed owned by the garage!) At home we both think they
are the same loudness subjectively. So I am not sure what is
happening there. Think it might be worth getting or borrowing a meter.
When we looked into it you can retro-fit another box, even a straight
through in the tailpipe that should make it quieter. So that's a
possible option. On the web there are many custom exhaust
manufacturers with different size and shape boxes. But many will not
fit well under a Q. You are quite resticted for space unless you have
it low slung.
By contrast my 2+2 has a standard aftermarket mild steel system. OK
they don't last as long, (mine has been doing 4 years) but they are
1/3rd the cost of a SS system and have more meat to them so are a
different note and much quieter. It's also a single box system. I
did a DIY fit last time and it was easy.

Hi Hans, Thanks for the info. Can't remember what make the exhaust
is but was sold as a sports exhaust. Once I change it, it will be up
for sell. Its as new, only been on the car a few months. Its a
single rear box system.
Paul.

Hi, just got my 2+2 on the road for the first time. I have fitted
the 1600cc cvh engine, with what was sold as a sports exhaust.
Dislike the loud exhaust note, can any one recommend a quiet exhaust
for this engine. I believe the original xr2 exhaust was quite loud.
Rgds Paul.
