Hello All,

I have had my LP560 for nearly a year now and its time to begin a few subtle modifications - starting with the exhaust system!

I started to look around a couple of months ago assessing the usual options such as Capristo or Larini but nothing was quite right for me. I also talked to US owners and companies and considered the Fabspeed system. I then stumbled across ARMYTRIX as they did the exhaust on the crazy Liberty Walk blue 458. Having seen a few videos and spoken to Brian at Armytrix this system seems to be the one for me. Very loud, very light weight, extremely high quality and with a switchable valve system to turn the car noise down so as not to annoy the neighbours!

I ordered last week and a few days later it is here...



The system looks amazing:



Very high quality welding:



Larger diameter pipe work which is suppose to enjoy a 24HP gain (will test!):



Stock system weighs 31KG and this titanium system just 8.9KG.

Remote control system to adjust the noise between 3 levels (on/off/auto):







So that's the system as it stands delivered to me today! I have the car booked in with the fantastic guys at SB race engineering on Friday to install the system.

I intend to next update with pictures and videos of the install, and the first run of the car with the system installed!

Very excited!

How much to get it here? smile
Shipping was around $260 I think.

Speak to brian (at) armytrix.com about shipping/pricing as he was really great to deal with.

I wasn't interested in the shipping cost lol

Was interested in the total landed price in comparison with the usual suspects smile
You'll need to check with them. I think price is comparable, this is not a cheap product, it is a quality one... time will tell once I have it on the car anyway wink

Heavy rain outside so I don't yet have video, but got back from fitting the Armytrix system and it is something very special.

Very low down the rev range it is probably a little quieter than RSC or Capristo systems, but anything over 3.5k rpm and this thing begins to scream with such character. It is loud. Towards the red line it is SCREAMING and just sounds fantastic, it is higher pitched than other systems I have had and really has a uniqueness to it that I think you are all going to like smile

The system fitted perfectly, the remote valves are very useful, but I think it deserves to be on the loudest setting at all times!

I'm hoping to get some good videos tomorrow, or Monday depending on the weather so watch out for updates.

Very nice, what a quality looking piece of engineering.

Is this yours?

Yep. That video really doesn't do the noise justice though.

Should be out with the GoPro's tomorrow. This thing SCREAMS up the rev range.

I've been out today with a friend to grab a few bits of video. Hope to have them up later today! This thing screams!

More to follow soon as we did a lot of footage yesterday including some tunnels and such.

Beast of an exhaust system and the titanium now its been heated through has gone a really cool colour as well!

Sorry .... the Gallardo E-gear, but it appears to have gone from the classifieds now.
I am 99% confident they said that was sold but worth checking.

Looked like a clean car, was there one day gone the next.

It was in the classifieds for a fair while, not really in a position to move at the moment but having never heard of SB before was interested to see your reference to them. I was tempted to pop over and see them but dont like to waste dealers time as a general rule, I was interested in who / what was SB as well as the car.
SB are very well known and very good at what they do.

They look after some fairly high profile peoples "collections" of supercars and also run a number of Ferrari race cars from 360's to 458's.

They always have a lot of interesting metal in the workshop and for sale!

I like it a lot, with the valves closed it sounds like the standard exhaust, is that a fair assumption?
With the valves closed I would say it is very much like standard, if anything higher up the rev range it may even be very slightly quieter.

There is an "auto" mode which I haven't played much with just yet but this is connected to accelerator pedal pressure and opens the valves as throttle is increased which is a very nice middle ground!

The problem with youtube vids is you never get a good representation of exhaust notes. Are you doing Cliveden Matt? would be interested to hear it in the flesh.
Unfortunately on a track day when Cliveden is on.
