TVR Cerbera Exhaust Advice

[Rambo1759]

I'm contemplating running my 4.2 cerb with the original exhaust (cats in) and switching out the back box for a set of ACT sports tails. Don't really want the hassle of the decat every year at MOT and from my experience I'm not having major heat issues in the cabin.

Not worried about extra bhp but want a nice note, is anyone running with the same set up or any thoughts on the sound improvement?

I think that’s the setup I’ve got, but my car is in bits so can’t comment on the sound. I do recall it was a bit more mellow with the cats in, ‘mellow’ being a relative term

I've recently upgraded from sports tails to an ACT big bore system. Here's a vid of comparison. Play it on good speakers.



The sports tails are scary on full chat and great fun but your ears are ringing after a long drive. The ACT system is a constant deep thunder which I think is brilliant. It does take the angry bark out of the tone though - which is what I was after.

Running mine, 4.5, with original TVR headers, followed by ACT stainless cats then ACT center pipes with included silencer (cherry bomb style..) and the ACT big bore sports tails. `certainly loud enough and I never noted any more or less heat in the cabin over the last few summers. With windows down cab get a bit nervy after a couple of hours but once at speed settles to a nice thrum. My backbone was prob collapsed internally and this set up made the car more sprightly.... as if it needed that ....

Mine is ACT tuned length stainless manifolds and the ACT Quiet exhaust system, decatted, because of the heat in the cabin/gearboxes, especially in traffic/summer temps.

Extra silencing in the center pipes, and tailpipes.




Probably 16 plus years old now and still working fine. I picked it as I wanted a GT car, so keeping the noise and heat down was important
