Stage 3 Exhaust?

[GRL]

I found this on EliseTalk forums. It would seem that a US dealer has confirmed that this HKS exhaust will be marketed by Lotus as a Stage 3. HKS are a well known and fairly reputable aftermarket tuning part supplier for Toyota engines.











The guy who bought it sourced it from the UK and seems to like it:

"THIS UNIT IS AMAZING!!! The install was really easy, and the sound is awesome! It is slightly if at all louder than stock, but the sound is fantastic! It has no drone whatsoever, has a deep throaty sound, burbles and pops on deceleration, and you can talk to your passenger with no problem. It transforms that Toyota lump into a formula racing engine. You think you are in a race car with a quiet engine."

My guess is that Lotus would dump the side branch resonator to yield a louder product. Nice quality but bound to be expensive.

I'm looking forward to my 2Bular Ultra being fitted next week

I cant see any where in the UK selling it so I've sent an enquiry to HKS UK.

I doubt it. If you look at the hardware inventory on the documents, it is not shown there. The tubing before the cat has ZOLDER painted on it as well. Separate purchase methinks...

The ends look like mortar tubes!!!

Look good quality indeed,
my stage 2 exhaust has just alredy replaced twice under warranty in 11000 kms
for internal pipes failure. If it'll became an official Lotus parts would be a
nice prospect otherwise, I'd be very tempted with the Quicksilver titanium.
