New exhaust finally made and fitted to my M12. The car now sounds proper, as a real sports car should.(sorry, its the boy racer in me). Its got a real grunt and throaty sound and even spits out huge balls of fire on the rolling road.(i was chuckling like a kid when i saw that).I have De-catted the car for that slightly better sound.
I just want to say a big thank you to Jim Valentine of www.2bular.com for his superb looking and awsome sounding creation. He put a great deal of time and effort into this as its his first Noble worked on.
Anyone up in Scotland looking for exhaust system for your weapon would be recommended to give Jim a call.

Guys,
Sorry but i dont have any pictures as me and cameras and computers dont go.I have twin outlets either side with a slight offset so they are not dead straight, looks nice. The exhaust cost me £900 and that included cutting the cats off and making new pipes with them installed. I have cat replace pipes in situ but if i need to pass mot i can put the original cats back in. The exhaust is full stainless and has the two 5" silencers style as opposed to the big restrictive standard one. It feels much more responsive and theres definately more power. I never did a before and after but im now getting 330bhp to the wheels and that was achieved in fourth gear.I had to get a local garage to remove and install the old and new exhaust as he made it to a jig. That cost another few hundred quid but well worth it.She really sounds the part now and i cant stop grinning when i floor her and watch the cars go by. he he

Hey Shegs, I don't suppose you happen to live up in the 'Broch? A chap I used to work with before he moved to Oz said he knew someone with an M12.

Hi Shegs, I spoke to Jim today regarding his handy works and he hopes to have cleared his backlog of work by December! he has agreed to build me a full system with sports cats but I need to find a local garage up your neck of the woods that can help with the install as Jim still needs to do some tweeking to his jig before going into mass production. If you can recommend anyone who could help with the works I would be most gratefull.

regards

Sorry mate, I can understand how you would feel offended. So where abouts in Aberdeen is Jim's workshop? So who does your servicing or do you do it yourself being mechanically inclined?

My local garage up in Peterhead are highly recommended.They are the Grange garage and i get them to do my servicing and any other work needed doing.The owner does alot of EVO rebilds etc and has alot of happy customers. The other mechanic working there is one of the top mechanics up in my area.They removed and installed Jims new system no probs and at a very reasonable price too. I have no hesitation in recommending these guys and im fussy when it comes to my beloved M12.

Monsieur Naso Grande,
Jims workshop is in Portlethen, but he doesnt do any removal or fitting, hence i used my local garage. Definately worth getting an exhaust from him if you need one, although there are companies like Roush and Hayward and Scott too. Its all down to personal choice and obviously your budget, but im positive all of them make great systems as per threads on this forum.
regards
Shaun
