Racing Green Slash Cut exhaust for the Sag
Discussion
Hi Kev
When I was looking into new exhausts for mine a while back, I looked at all the pics I could find of this one and decided it wasn't really something that I wanted.
It might be better in real life, but looking at the pics available up close, it did not 'do-it' for me (it looked like something out of Alien too much for me to like it).
I found that the Carbon Cam exhausts looked a lot (and sounded) a lot better to me.
Of course, this is all just my personal opinion and does not reflect anything on the actual RG product itself, so feel free to take it or leave it

Hi Alex
Saw your Sag at Chatsworth, cut out slats looked good, looked like a top quality bit of work.
Didnt notice the cans you had on, what difference do they make to the sound?
Cant make my mind up on the RG ones from the pics I have seen so far, have the standards and some Blueflame cans but fancy having another option especially if they give a deeper sound.

Hi Kev
Here is a pic of the cam on one side up close.
They are modeled on the Tuscan ones and give of the same burbling sounds & popping sounds but not as much as you can get from a Tuscan.
Must admit, I was more interested in looks that how loud they were
They still sound better than the originals, but not too loud if you get what I mean. When I had a Tuscan, the sounds of the exhaust were nice, but on a 2-3 hour drive, you wanted them to shut up b/c they made you...
Thanks

Hi Alex
Thanks for that they suit your colour scheme well,I had Carbon cans when I had my Tuscans but personally I found them to be a bit tinny (each to their own I know)so sold them on.
Like the looks of the Blueflames I have now but want something which is much basier/ deeper more along the lines of the TVR Power supersports exhausts for the T350.
Think I may go down the route of having some made by someone like Hayward and Scott so I can get the look and the sound.

STR8SIX and ACT (or JP Exhausts, can't quite remember which) are in the middle of developing a complete system for the Sagaris which will have better flow (less restricted), increased bhp and will sound much more like the low base burble of the Tuscan. Personally I'm going to wait for the system to become available, at which point I will then try out different cans. IMO the RG slash cut ones look too gawdy and do not compliment the Sagaris at all. The tri-colour titanium sleeved BlueFlame look and sound much better, but I don't think you can get them anymore. I suspect they've gone pop as the telephone number just plays hours of classical music. Pity, as these would have been my choice. ![](http://thumbsnap.com/sc/LMsyznWE.jpg[/img]</a> <a href="http://thumbsnap.com/6QbVpdYh" Target="_blank">[img]http://thumbsnap.com/sc/6QbVpdYh.jpg)
Hi Mark
Those are the blueflame ones I have got, looks wise they work really well with the Laser Blue of the Sag, just want the tone to be a bit baseier (if thats a real word) may even see about getting them rebuilt by one of the specialists as I am sure if they can make a Saxo sound deeper then they can work wonders with a Sag.

Saw a couple of Sags with those on at Chatsworth and have to say they dont do it for me,no offence meant as we all like different things.Coming from Str8six I am sure the quality is top notch but personally I like something which fills the space a bit better.
Having only seen and not heard them what effect do they have on the sound?

I like them because you don't get the boomy resonance around 3000rpm that the standard pipes give but they are very raspy and will not appeal to all. Every where I go they do get a lot of attention and everyone asks about them. I have added a link from the goodwood supercar Sunday thread as I don't have a picture to hand on my phone.

Hi Kev
Why don't you have a chat with Tim from ACT, he is the only TVR licenced seller for JP Exhausts. He's making a big bore exhaust system and rather nice looking shark nose cans for my Tusc, as I also wanted a deeper, bassier tone to the exhaust, which he said their system provides.
I think the shark nose cans they are making for me are very similar to the one's Graham Varley's got on his Sag.
