I had the most bizarre experience, I was only admiring this thread yesterday at lunch.

I only then saw a yellow Exige in the evening so made sure to catch it up, and it was you! (Followed you into Rayne).

The car looks absolutely stunning in the flesh, well done!
Ah were you in a black BMW? smile

Such a lovely car.

Are they still doing the 50/50 deals? Any discounts available??

Would be tempted by one to replace atom in future but would have to downgrade the m135...
Yes I think they are still doing the 50-50 deal. Well they were earlier this month smile

I've got a yellow Alfa, not anything like your machine but what polish/wax do you use?

I use a combination of Auto Finesse Desire and Auto Finesse Illusion. I'm also trailing some Gtechniq C2v3 spray over the top which seems to give it decent depth and shine biggrin

Absolutely beautiful colour, reminds me of Renaults Liquid Gold. Would love a Lotus one day.

Or Renault's Liquid Yellow even, which is what it is.

I now have new more "fruity" exhaust fitted.

The system is valved so with the valve closed it sounds about the same as the stock system. Perfect for keeping the neighbours happy at night!

With the valve open the system is loud!! It's a straight through system without any silencing!

Here's a quick static video:

...and here are some photos. The tips are 100mm each with a carbon slip on over the pipe.

I listened to that sound-clip last night on SELOC. There are not many cars at any price point that I would rather have than this.

Thanks. I'm really pleased with it. The difference with the valve closed and open is much bigger compared to the stock system. The video doesn't really pick up the sheer volume of it with the valve open. I couldn't live with it all the time like this as its really loud but it's nice to have the option to make it a lot quieter smile

wow looks like a proper weapon and sounds it too ;-)

how does it compare performance wise with the 1m? and did you have a thread for that too? as I'm quite fond of them and they seem to be holding their value too

Similar performance but very different delivery. The 1M was remapped to 430bhp and had a nearly 500 lb.ft of torque. But the Exige can actually put the power down where the 1M struggled.
