Hi folks well had my t350 a couple of months now and thinking of changing the exhaust to a sport one , don't know much about the different types and what's best value for your money , so I thought I'd ask on here to you chaps for your thoughts on this to those of you who. Have done the switch , is it worth the change ? Thanks

A word of caution. I swapped the standard exhaust or a sports one. Fantastic sound but at 3000 rpm
I.e. 80ish mph, the resonance was bad.
If you are low mileage, ok. If not, the music wears thin after a few hours.

I totally agree I have the same sports exhaust on the Tamora whilst the sound at tick over is great the cruising side of it is a pain.... I'm dreading the trip from Leeds to Le-Mans!!! Its great for the over run popping & banging and acceleration.The down side of the acceleration noise you can't do discreet over taking! altho' the driver in front will always know when you have started your move plus it also alerts any Police in the area the same!

It's a shame there's no exhaust flap valve control like on the Aston Martins etc that keep the noise sensible until around 4K then the flap is fully open and you get the full Bang & Olufsen!

God! I can't believe you have said that, the joy is the noise as you go by someone, watching their car implode, as you cruise past, screaming down the road smile

I hope you give it some beans in the tunnels heading to Le Mans :P

It does look great and I'd love to hear it. Any chance you could make a short clip like ShiDevil did? Or is there a clip online with the Power twin box?
