2Bular 111R silencer (complete with fitting guide & piccys!)
Discussion
Joe-Exige S had one of the Ultimates, or what ever the stupidly loud ones are called. I was behind it on the BoLOCs Ladies night drive. It is by far the most amazing sound to come out of an Elise/Exige I have heard. Thoroughtly recomend one.
Once I have the cash available(Which maybe never) thats what I intend to spend £400 on.

The buyer's guide Wiki? How about we create a seperate one for "How to's...." ?
The buyers guide needs to be as obvious as possible to prevent the same repetitive questions again and again and again and again and again and again. I sugest keeping the sticky at the top and a cut and paste of threads that are an "addition" to the topic into the buyers guide.The wiki seems an ideal place to stick the janitor guides and the assorted "how to's" that people have spent hours doing.
Can these guides be posted into the wiki?
Yup, easily; you can even do it yourself (anyone can do it).
Just open the wiki, copy and paste what you want into it, and choose "update".
I'd suggest linking to the threads in question, so for example say "great guide on fitting exhaust; here" (and provide a link).
Go for it, most people can do it and if you can't drop me a mail and I can tick a box in your profile which means you can

Done - Thanks Janitor!
as ever you are a gentleman and a scallop
Ah pommes de terre mate, pommes de terre...as ever you are a gentleman and a scallop
Thanks for doing the necessary Wiki-ising mate - very rewarding to see my work all laid out again... and quite humbling too that it's held in good regard
As ever, I just hope it's useful to someone at some point
(Oddly enough though, I wanted to update the SELOC versions too, but they are now in the archive and as such, un-editable. I contacted the Webmaster to see if there was a way of updating the content but was pretty much told not to bother
Ah well...)Thank for the detailed guide.
I'm posting the pics I have because I just installed a 2Bular Stg2 exhaust on my Elise and I have the US model. Some of the things described here are not so accurate with the model we have over here (my car is a 2005 model)
First, to prop the car up I have bought those thinggies at Kragen:
They work quite well and set the car high enough.
Going to assume that you have already taken the diffuser out. On the US version the access to the support on the passenger side is quite easy and there is no need to touch the heat shield at all once you've taken out the little plate it looks like this:
Now, the problem is on the drive side. There are the same exact supports but they are quit difficult to access to:
The pic above I have taken from the side after I removed the wheel and the plastic thinggy.
And this is after I took out the stock exhaust:
There is a heat shield on the driver side of the car but you don't need to take it out. But you will need to take the wheel out, unscrew the 4 (8mm) screws that hold the exhaust. Don't take them out completely or it's going to be hard to put them back in.
Once you have put the new exhaust in, you will have to rotate the U shaped bolt that will be used to squeeze the new pipe onto the CAT output. Personally, I have put some high temp sealant because that's what I've done on my bikes before.
Once everything is in place you get this:
Now, put the car up again and take the wheel off so that you can tighten the stuff that hold the exhaust.
Last shot, with the diffuser back on:
I could have pushed my exhaust a little bit more to the driver side in fact but seems that it's good enough. Tomorrow once the sealant has cured, I'll take it for a test drive
Hope this will help.

blimey, good write up.I must admit to the write up being different to a 5 yr old car, as this includes words such as angle grinder, set fire to hair, angle grinder, burn fingers, angle grinder, to remove the lot. I didn't have one bolt on the sytem, which I could salvage.The bolts ( S2 K's have a 3 bolt flange from silencer to cat) didn't even have flats for a spanner. All nice stainless and copper slipped now fitted and my hairs grown back too...............
