Hi all,

Considering upgrading the sound system on my Tusc RR At the moment, I have the standard cans on the back and am thinking of getting hold of some CCC's. However, if anyone has any other ideas on what to fit and where to buy I would appreciate the feedback,

Cheers

Andy

Cheers Whitey! De-cat pipes is the longer-term plan I reckon but will default to the CCC route in the short-term if no other/better option is available I reckon. What do you know of the Blue-Flame sharknose cans?

Thanks

They look gay. Get some CCC's, they are the nutz.

Then once addicted you will need the de-cat pipes.

I fitted my CCC's in about 10 mins and I am useless, so I'm sure you will have no trouble at all !!!!

The difference in noise is incredible...

Good Luck

Andy I can see the pics fine but if you still can't go to the racing green site and look up a black tuscan convertible that's for sale. It has long shiny slash cut polished pipes and they look great. Looks wise they are the best I've seen but I can't comment on the sound. If like me you're looking for some zorsts it could be worth checking out.

Ah yes, I see them now. Apparently they are not fully released by the company that designs them (not sure who, but not BlueFlame or CCC). They are designed to offer a power enhancement based on the engine compression/output - some sort of baffle/valve arrangement - but under dyno test, they have shown to actually reduce output by about 8BHP, apparently. The other concern is that they are quite heavy (about the same as the standard stainless CCC versions) which puts a good bit of strain on the weld of the exit pipe from the lateral box which the end-cans are connected to (at 90degrees if you know what I mean) so careful monitoring of the weld/seam from those 2 cross-boxes is advised, apparently.

Actually, this is something I am a little concerned about myself now - if the heaviest CCC versions are the standard stainless option (titanium/more expensive versions are lighter) has anyone had any instances of their welds failing after fitting the SS CCC's?

Many have reported this problem with the standard cans, I guess this is all down to who does the weld at the factory and how well they do it!

I have had CCC's on my 2000 RR since early 2003 with no problems. Just do it!
