Talk to me about exhausts, I find the standard a little too quiet and want to beef it up a little.

What are the popular choices? Tubi? And any links to suppliers would be appreciated.

Capristo. thumbup

Uses the standard valve operation that means it is unobtrusive at idle, but wakes up at higher revs (and seemingly on step changes in throttle). It is also not boomy at cruising speeds. earsbiggrin

There is an option to have a remote control to open the valves on command but I've so far failed to see the need.

I'm really enjoying it, and it's not really that much different from the GT3 in terms of demanding concentration if you are to avoid the car biting back. smile

A closer comparison is actually to my Caterham: both have identical power-to-weight ratios and consequently are equally fun and challenging to drive. Of course the Gallardo is capable of much higher absolute speeds, but physics dictate that it's additional weight plays against it in directional changes compared to the Seven.

Watch out on PistonHeads for more impressions and reports ... biggrin

Anyway, back on topic: only one of the three has a V10 and a Capristo amplifier. ears

I can recommend Vorstmeister based in Cheshire... This is their system for the Gallardo...
