Crikey. It that really necessary? It looks like they've been 'butchered'. Does the rough, uneven top edge not upset the airflow?

....but then, if it does the job, who cares!

This should be a better photo,I hope it shows why they are that shape

Ahh thats better they look superb Colin, be interested to know what difference they make once you get it back on the Rolling road aas I have been thinking of getting these and the plenum!

Cheers

Im getting the plenum in due course with probably twin throttle, but it will deffinately need a remap and possibly bigger injectors.Which will add up to a bit of cash.So for now just the trumpets

[pstruck]

All becomes clear. Nice one pies!
With you there on the see-through plenum... would be nice to show 'em off!

[greenv8s]

It is hard to appreciate from the photos, but these carbon trumpets are a gorgeous piece of three dimensional art, and every corner and cut-out is there for a purpose. Designing these to fit so closely must have been a real challenge!

[pies]

Well they've now disapeared into the "safe" othewise known as the plenum chamber,never to be seen again

Can't even go for a blast as it'a pi55ing down


Tim I'll send the bits back in the next couple of days

Mike not been on a RR yet but the driving its way different,i wouldn't believe just fitting the trumpets would make so much difference. The pick up is much smoother,the exhaust sound has changed and the torque is deffinately up!!!!, Cant tell if power is up or not, but TBH i don't realy care. Im one seriously happy Pies

So in short Mike, get your wallet out

Bl##dy h#ll, We'd all better get some ear defenders before next years blast through the Hatfield Tunnel!

Very nice Colin are they 38mm or 45mm , not sure but they mainly improve Torque and you already have plenty of that, be affraid .

Good choice, started with those myself.
Slightly O/T, I think most 500's would benefit greatly from these, if only they could see what is standard fair under their plenums, 8 sections of sawn off exhaust pipe/tubing , talk about strangle the engine.

They look a bit like this
