Any one ever go for the Racing Green exhaust they made for the Sagaris?
The one that has 2 pipes each side.
Just remembered this one and wondered if any one went for it, I think it looks great but is very expensive as I remember.

I kinda thought they looked a little funky when I first saw them to be honest. Not so sure these days. I do remember everybody else seemed to pan them at the time as looking distinctly chavvy!

TVR bollocked them for selling them and so they stopped it, is what I heard. I thought they looked pretty cool but apparently the sliencer box was retained so noise largely unchanged.

Just had a look on the website and they still list it for sale,
£795inc vat and fitting.
Just wondered if any one has one.
Sorry to be a pain but can anyone find a close up picture as I am useless at pics and cant seem to locate anything in the archives?
Thanks.

just read through that, cant believe people are saying its too max power????? eh, look at the rest of the car, plank comes to mind

you either like them or you dont, if im honest i dont like any of the side exit,rear facing or racing green exhausts for the sagaris, none of them look quite right, someone needs to come up with something better!

David the word Chav is defined by a car thats exterior gives the impression of power when in realality under the bonnet is an engine which does not relate in power to the exterior.

A TVR could never be CHAV, if this was so the Sagaris would be CHAV straight off the production line.

Well thats my opinion on the word CHAV..

i agree with this also

unless you happened to put neon lights, chrome wheels and squeeze a couple of subwoofers in the boot, i couldnt say a mad exhaust on an already mad car is chav.

A tricky little bugger to photograph and IMO the photos don't do it justice. If you're interested I'd definitely recommend checking it out in the metal. It fills the space so much better than the standard pipes (the space is so much bigger I've always wondered if there was a last minute change of plan when it came to the original design?).

Quality is first-rate. It's made by the same blokes who produce the exhausts for almost all of the F1 teams.

Ooooer! I like too! bounce

Couldn't say which one I would chose, but would be happy with either.

Just my opinion, but a balls out car like the 'gris should have at least 4 exhausts winking at you as it overtakes...

Hold on Mark, I never said they looked chavvy, I said I thought they looked kinda funky when they came out! I defo remember a lot of other ppl slating them though.

Curiosity got the better of me... got in touch with Philip Forster at RG. Background is they couldn't get permission from TVR to go ahead but due to the situation changing they hope to resurrect the project soon. He said the final version they produced was much louder than the standard pipes.

I think it looks fantastic. Does anyone know if this conversion could made to a T350? Not sure it would suit the car as much as it does the Sag, but just curious
