Exhaust notes from aftermarket cans

[Jodi]

Some opinions required please.

Considering changing the standard cans to Carbon Cans but we live on a camp in Siberia (I'm not joking) and the company e-mail does not allow streaming through the internet so I can't download the sound file from the CCC website.

I know to expect a louder exhaust note but does the sound change ie is it raspy and higher pitched or a deeper but louder note. It is more noticeable at low revs or throughout the whole rev range.

Any opinions would be welcome.

I would say slightly deeper and a lot more pops and bangs on overrun

all in all a very pleasant experience

Ditto that Nick. A deeper rumble with a raspy overtone that changes depending on the rev's. MUCH more pops, crackles and big bangs on the overrun too...

I heard andys above yesterday...first time i ever heard aftermarket cans (on a tuscan), needless to say i now have them on order - unbelievable difference, its not noticeably louder, probably only 10/15%, its the tone which is deeper and more 'burbly', but even more so is the over run, sounds unreal... and ive had many v twin superbikes which makes me a coinnesseur of exhaust notes!

Was someone here lucky enough to get these for GBP160!?!

I bought my Carbon Cans from an advert on ebay (they sell them direct on there cheaper than the website see http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dl for current advert)
They are fantastic having come from a Chimaera I was disappointed with the lack of noise in the tuscan but these made a huge difference without being too loud. (Having said that I am booked in for a decat tomorrow as after 2 years I am now used to the pops & bangs & want more )

I just missed out on those - bid them up to £155 but lost in the end - with 40 mins to go I had the best bid of £110! Thought my luck was in!

Hi Richard,

They were mine, I thought I might get more than that for them. Oh well!

I can’t believe how civilised it sounds now with a new set of the standard cans back on the car.

I was thinking of putting the car on ebay today as it’s going at the end of the month, but I have had a pretty good trade in offer (£20K) so I don’t think it’s worth listing it?

And that concludes a year of my first ever TVR, and what a year it was (highs?) The Furball Alpine run, the workers support rally (Clip on BBC NorthWest), London thunder & several trips to Blackpool.
(Lows?) Blowing the engine on the Furball alpine run & several trips to Blackpool (Half the car has been replaced in the last year)!

Owning a TVR should be a must do in the 100 things to do before you die list, even if only for a year. I’m gonna see what it’s like living with a prancing horse for the next year.

Perhaps I will return one day?

Look like the standard cans the carbon cans have a sign on them saying carbon can company & they are well worth the money as is a decat which i had done last fri WOW!!!

Thanks Kippax

The thing that made me wonder is they are rainbow coloured. And sound so so so so loud, also when i bought the car from Castle TVR they referred them to sports cans?? Sounds like an angry T350c

[tuscanx1]

Sounds like ccc's to me, the signs that come with them are only stickers. Rainbow coloured....think you may have the titanium ones!

[marcus-s]

Is that good or bad, i love them as they look different to most and adds some colour to the rear as the car is black. Comes of the loud pedal at 90pmh and over and my god does it pop and bang.

[whitey]

look inside them, if perforated then standard, if solid straight through then Carbon cans.

[spartridge]

Does your car have black and red interior? If so, I think it may have carbon cans AND been de-catted...best to check directly with Castle.

[marcus-s]

Hi Spartridge

Yes black and red, have you seen it before??
