I have an exige s 240 and am looking at upgrading the exhaust to make it sound like it should. First point of call was 2bular but I'm wondering if the track friendly exhaust with same exit as standard is a little boring - need to do trackdays but dont care if I can't go to bedford.

Other option is the larini which on youtube sounds great.

Any positives/negatives about either?
I want the standard look so no gt exits, but need it to sound great but trackable and not droney(sp?) during motorways at 4k.

Sport will be okay for most tracks <93db, club sport is questionable.

Mine 2bular has through diffuser exit with twin pipes but Jim can do oval aswell. No drone on 140 mile trip to Oulton either.
I am selling my quicksilver if you only want to do 105db trackdays

i'd say its personal choice. i have the larini club sport normal exit.. which says it is 96 Db but i think it is louder... but sounds F'ing AMAZING laugh

the Sport is a 95Db dont know ins and outs of it all.... but a bit of info for the larini:

I take that back i have the "club Sport" not the sport,
1. Lotus Exige S, Larini 'Club Sport' System, with ‘Oval’ Tip:
- Stainless Steel 'fast road' use sports exhaust, from the ‘cat’ back.
- Delivers an extra +6 bhp approximately.
- Offers vastly improved low/mid-range Torque.
- Produces a fantastic 'Note' under acceleration, without suffering from drone or vibration.
- Delivers much sharper throttle response.
- 2.5 inch diameter pipework to aid optimal flow rates. Vital to aid the brutal power delivery of the Supercharger.
- Features Mandrel bent pipe-work allowing a significant constant internal tube diameter, maintaining a smooth, constant gas flow.
- Engineered for massively improved flow efficiency, using expertly engineered internal ‘straight-through’ silencer pipework.
- Accelerated gas-flow reduces engine bay operating temperatures.
- Weight reduction of over 50% compared to OE, significantly benefiting handling and braking ability.
- Perfectly practical for everyday use: does not suffer from excessive interior cabin vibration at cruising speeds.
- Decibel reading = 96db from 1 metre @4500rpm at a 45 degree angle.
- Features one 6" x 4" internally rolled Oval Tailpipe, lined with a perforated conical core, exiting further (yet tastefully) than original.
- Constructed using aircraft grade T.304 Austenitic Stainless Steel.
- 100% Tig welding construction.
- Features highly polished box casings, pipework and tailpipes, offering a 'chromium' type finish.
- Precision engineered for accurate fit. Requires no special procedures or undertray modifications to fit.

3. Lotus Exige S, Larini 'Sports' System, with ‘Oval’ Tip:
* Similar power/torque gains to the ‘Club Sport’ exhaust, albeit slightly reduced to the larger silencing volume: +5bhp
* Similar volume/tone gains to the ‘Club Sport’ exhaust, albeit slightly reduced to the larger silencing volume: Decibel reading = 94db from 1 metre @4500rpm at a 45 degree angle.
* Features Mandrel bent 2.5 inch pipe-work allowing a significant constant internal tube diameter. Vital to aid the brutal power delivery of the Supercharger.
* Custom 'inverted-ribbed' box casings help control excessive sound ‘boom’ while allowing a sculpted, tuned sound.
* Offers a more ‘mature’ soundtrack than the ‘Club Sport’ system.
* Weighs 7 kilograms.
* Decibel reading = 95db from 1 metre @4500rpm at a 45 degree angle.
* System fits perfectly to the 'cat' / de-cat pipe, requiring no special produces or modifications to the car or undertray.
* Larini Systems Lifetime Warranty.

i have an email from larini with all the information about all the stuff they do if you would like it... pm me
