volume of a larini

[carlymart]

i need to buy a new exhaust for my s2
it a standard k series apart from a replacment filter
i dont want somthing that will make the car undrivable for any distance
and i have desided that a larini is the one but
how much louder is the club sport then the sport
and how much louder is the sport then the standard
i know its been asked loads and so sorry about that
and yes i am kicking my self about missing out on the larini deal a few months ago

It's around 95dB with a induction system. IMHO it's fine - if you back off the throttle it's not boomy or intrusive but has the fun factor when you're back on the taps

[TonyHetherington]

If you still have the cat in, the Larini is absolutely fine for long distances. In fact, it's very very good. If you take the cat out then it can get just a little wary when you're doing 400 miles in a day on a big trip, or if you do 5 hours on the motorway with the roof on.

But I would really recommend it as a "not intrusive" exhaust if you keep the CAT in. Click on my profile and look in the video section for some example videos I made

thanks
and does £45 extra on insurance sound right for adding a sports exhust

It sounds what it's going to cost you. Given that it'll make almost sod-all difference to the power of the car I personally think that charging for adding things like exhausts and induction kits is a rip-off by the insurers... but it is what it is.

[TonyHetherington]

Yup - as Tim above says, it sounds like what some insurers charge you. Some (A-Plan) don't add on for stuff like that but it's good with some companies, bad with others.

Can of worms...............

Does the insurance company need to know if you are replacing the exhaust with a system that wont rust. Surley it is just a replacement part?

Please note.
I am not or do not want to try and rip off any insurance company just asking a simple question.

It's overdue HGF anyway, so at least when it blows it'll sound good

[TonyHetherington]

Ah sorry, it's not actually A-plan is it - it's someone else, A-plan are just the broker. I should have worded it correctly, sorry

(either that, or they just liked me more )
