undoubtebly the best colour for Cerbs Not sure about the 5% increase in expected power.
That would suggest that on my car when it was in standard trim I could expect 20 BHP, thats's not right.
Think I will stick with Track car Solutions, they seem a lot more realistic about possible gains.
Not sure about the looks either, though whatever burns your candle.

I have Blue Flames fitted. The baffles are easy to remove and replace just held in by 2 circlips but I just leave mine out for road us as they sound much better. They line up well,which is where some performance pipes fall down and have adjustable hangers. They also are made from very good quality stainless steel and the tail pieces polish up like mirrors inside and out. At 115mm (4.5"
dia the tail pipes dwarf the standard 65mm (2.5"dia ones which some people think spoils the look of the back of the car, I think they look great. Will try and post a picture as the one on their web site does them no justice.

Simon

Nice car BTW, Reflex Charcoal? How loud are they? Was hoping for a little more bass? Had a look at my rear silencer while fixing my boot catch this afternoon. They tail pipes have almost rotted though the rather nasty piece of welding where they join the common silencer, also notice that the silencer had had bash at some time and is quite badly crushed at one end. When I first had the car it was so low it was undriverble on Welsh roads so I suspect it caught a speed hump at some point.
Not my cup of tea I'm afraid. I think huge exhausts suit rice rockets (but even then, they're usually big all the way through -- not just the last 6 inches). The twin 2.5" exhausts on a Cerb look very "British sports car" to me -- the way they come up at an angle reminds me of a TR6 or a Lotus 49.
Moonraker black. Black with silver, gold and green metallic bits in it, I love it in sunlight not that there's much of that at the moment.
It's a common fault I think with the standard rear box and pipes with cracking and bad weld problems.I do have the standard rear box and pipes but they have slight scratches on the underside of the chromed bits, otherwise like new. The Blue Flame pipes are loud even without a de-cat pity you don't live closer I'd pop round so you could hear them.
Yours is a nice colour too, it was the other colour I would have gone for if Moonraker Black had proved too difficult to find. I looked at 16 cars over 3 months and this was by far the best in all departments.
Have you seen what they are asking for this one

they've dropped it by 3 grand in the last week and it's been there for 8 months to my knowledge, I went and viewed it back in April 2005.

Hi nsparey,
I used a company called Longlife ( www.longlife.co.uk) to make a custom exhaust for my DD. They do tend to have a lot of MPower customers, but they will build you what you want in high quality S/steel there is a huge selection of end/tail pipes and dia. to choose from. The best thing is that they offer a satifaction guarantee,(as well as a Lifetime guarantee on the system as well) so if you don't like the sound of it, or change your mind on the end pipes, after you have driven it away you can take it back, and have it altered FOC.
I think there's a branch in or near Cardiff, although I used their branch in Wallington, and can recommend the guys there, who where very patient with me.

Do you have any pics you can post/email me of your custom system. Looking at the state of mine, I will have to sort it sooner rather than later.
