JP Exhaust...

[cramorra]

Makes such a nice difference- especially when warmed up the car sounds so much better without getting too loud- but now makes all the pops and bangs on the overun again wich you would expect from a TVR...and makes on call work and leaving @ four in the morning a bit less painful...
Thanks Kurt for selling me this

for a fair price (although I would have considered selling the Girlfriend instead...)

I have a standard exhaust on my Tam, and I am tempted to put a sprts exhaust on, but just a bit concerned it might be a bit loud on long motorway runs.. Just returned from 1400 mile trip to Dordogne region, and it was pretty noisy on the motorways, with the wind noise etc, so surely it would be worse? Any thoughts?

Also, read on here before that the exhaust can be changed fairly easily, if so, any reason why I couldnt just swap back to the standard pipes if I'm on a long run somewhere??? Guess it would need to be up on ramps to change?

Easy to change Ian, about an hour the first time, 1/2 hour once you've sussed it out.

Its not too loud on long journeys, we did 2000 miles to Le Mans, then Germany and back last year, no problems.

Go on....you know it makes sense!

You may have just convinced me....

Just to clarify, the time to change it was on a Tam not a T350, or perhaps there is not much in it!

Now JP or the other one???? Just need to convince the wife that its a good idea!

Hi Oliver,

Really glad to hear you are enjoying it!

I must admit I did feel regretful on the day it was changed back to the standard exhaust. The garage dropped me off in my car and roared off and I stood there balancing out in my head "relationship or exhaust". It was a close run thing.......

I got those nice chaps at Barnet to fit the TVR sports exhaust. Bloody loud but oh so good.Drop the windows then hold back a bit and then nail it through the Hanger Lane underpass and no matter how bad the day you come out the other end with a grin from ear to ear.

@lasertam - I think when you want to convince your wife opt for the JP rather then the super sports- it is a bit more cultivated which will especially long term journeys more pleasurable- and give you less trouble on the eg swiss border
But Still sounds so good...

iv just had mine de-catted aswell as the tvr power sports pipes which were on when i bought it and its reeeediculously loud, it bangs and shoots flames on over-run.

thinking i might change the sports pipes for the jp as iv heard it gives a nice note but a bit quieter.

de-cats rule by the way!

[FrancoTam]

Thinking of having mine de-cat. Has it affected the performance?

The JP exaust is on the cards aswell. I've herd it and it sounds deep! lush!

[lundinoir]

I have the TVR Power Super Sports Silencers on my Tamora and can't recommend them enough! To my ears the best sound you can get out of a Speed Six.

Ask bobdylan about the combination of decat and JP exhaust. That's my ex-Tam he drives, and it is, well, loud!

Edited to add - I'm off to JP in a week or so to get them to fettle my SL55 AMG exhaust. Looking forward to that!

What can be done with the Sagaris ?
I can't say I've seen much in the way of sports exhaust for that.

[cramorra]

I only know that TVR Deutschland offer an exhaust which acc to them boosts power- I cannot say about sound but I know it's rear facing and comes with a custom made diffuser as the TUEV does not approve side pipes in Germany (unless you are Daimler Benz that is- note MC Laren- unfair world...)
I do not know if they have published rolling road figures or similar but they are a friendly bunch and will happily give you info...

I have the JP system fitted to my T350 and it is pretty loud at all revs. I had it metered last weekend and it was 115db at between 5,500 - 6,000 revs. I personally don't find it too intrusive as I like the sound, but it wouldn't suit everyone.

I've fitted a JP to my T350c it's fine a very nice sound when in over run and not too loud on the motor way,very good compromise ,the full sports exhaust will Get you an ASBO.

[lasertam]

OK OK, I am convinced.... now, google.... JP Exhausts....
I guess if I can fit it myself, then just need to get it delivered direct from JP???
