EXIGE S SPORTS EXHAUST

[JKBELISE]

Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket system for the new Exige S out yet or would it be the same system as the standard Exige ?

Hi all

As far as I know it's the same as the original but yes there is a Stage 1&2

The Exige S has got the big oval tailpipe anyway, is it not louder than the standard Exige one?

The standard would fit, but you have a different exhaust already! so maby wait till theres a specific one for the Exige S?
Or try and find out what Stage 1 and 2 they are using on the 240 Cup Exiges, I don't know if they are the same?
And there is to less experience around that standard Exhaust on the S maybe its getting louder in a few thousand miles when given it real poke...some systems get louder, but that depends how the exhaust muffler is build up, maybe the Lotus Factory can give more explanotions of how that muffler looks inside...or take a shainsaw then you know it too
maybe anyone have a drawup from that exhaust or you can find it somewhere?? when you understand the exhaust you can see whats best for you and your car...

I spoke to Lotus technical this morning. The standard exhaust (The big oval) on the S is different and slightly louder than a standard Exige exhaust. While Stage 1 and 2's will fit an S the factory do not recommend it as they are too restrictive for the supercharged cars. A stage 2 for the S is under development and will be along soon.

I will be picking my car up on Sat and had a Stage 2 on my order so will pick the car up with the standard exhaust and have it swapped over as soon as the special S stage 2 arrives.

Thanks -- not sure if it is louder than the standard car but have driven both and it was not sufficient enough to make any difference. I will wait for the specific exhaust when it is out and drive in stealth for the time being !!!

Good thing Joe, at least now you know more...and the story they told you is very believeble I was thinking the same thing...wait till a stage 2 come out specialy made for SC cars they get more air in...so they need more air to get out too, what comes in comes out not always the same shape though

Hang on, not wishing to throw a spanner in the works. doesnt the supercharger force more air in to give a bigger explosion? surely all this extra oxygen cant just be pushed through the engine with no effect. sorry for sounding dumb. having a blonde moment.

[GTRene]

Ofcorse, but even when it explodes it has to go somewhere...and fast because the next explosion is on his way...
When you have a turbo its even more importand...the turbo will spool sooner and faster(more torgue at lower revs and less turbo-lag) with a more free flow.
