Tuscan exhaust: too quiet AND too loud

[GT TVR]

Drove my T2S again last weekend and that confirmed my previous feeling: the exhaust is too quiet AND too loud: too quiet for the twisties and too loud for the motorway (long stretches, > 90 mph). Anyone else have the same experience? What could I do about it? Any adjustable exhaust systems available like e.g. a DB9?

This isnt going to help but...

My Wife was constantly complaining that my T2 was too quiet.
Didnt compare well to my T1, didnt sound like a TVR should etc.

Tried sleeving, still too quiet she said.
Decat (at Wifes expense) ........... perfect.

Run up to IKEA on M6 ........... "its a bit loud isnt it"

You cant win. Now wish I hadnt sleeved, only decatted.

What setup do you have? Cats? Decats? Standard Cans? straight through cans? semi sleeved cans?

I have loud CCC's and they are fantastic.

Had it down for its MOT at the weekend and it sounded awesome on the emissions test

Sorry but NOT for sale or trade in.

Just had a chat with these guys:

Currently, they only do variable bike exhaust system, but at the mo they are testing a variable silencer for cars; this replaces the main silencer and is variable from very quiet to very loud (85-130 dB). This sounds perfect! Now hope they will indeed launch this product.
