Alf Essex - The best sounding Tuscan - Ever

[Big_M]

Had the pleasure of following Alf Essex's Tuscan through Ipswich on the way to the Suffolk TVRCC meet. What a delight. This must be the best sounding Tuscan I have ever heard - plenty of grrrr and loads of popping and banging. Not only is it an outstanding colour - it sounds Fg awesome.

Nice one mate.

Just been looking at their web site. Alan...did you have he titanium cans? I think i'm gonna order some and nows its a toss up between the titanium cans and the red and black ones. Think the red and black ones will look better on my car. Not much difference price wise, about £20. Has anyone had any bad experiences with these cans? I phoned MC@Castle to ask his opinion on carbon can company and he said he didn't really know about them or their cans, but he advised against any can that would be performance enhancing as it could mess up the ECU. I assume the carbon can company can's aren't performance enhancing in anyway?

and....the cans I have currently are not standard cans, they are differnt sports cans purchased through castle, does anyone think they have any value? Can't see any point in keeping them, already have the standard ones as spares, dont need 3 sets!

Yeah, one of mine fell off about 3 days after getting them! I think the clamp must have been faulty - never found it so can't be sure.

The boys at CCC sorted it with no problem at all - They polished it up like new and replaced the clamp.

Still too loud with the decat pipes though. I think I'll pop the cats back in soon.

I doubt they (the CCC cans) enhance the preformance as they are essentially the same as sleeved standard cans and all they lack are the 100s of little holes the standard cans have drilled inside them. A lot louder though

Ok...I think i'm getting some new cans then!
