Just got my Chimaera back from Peninsula where it had a loud mod for the exhaust (took the wadding out). Wow, talk about burbling, popping and banging! Sounds like a WW2 fighter plane now. Love it. Recommend it.

Excuse my ignorance but how does removing the 'wadding' differ from removing the pre-cats for example? Does it affect MOT's, emmissons, etc?

Can I be cheeky and ask how much it cost?

Why should your neighbours get better treatment than me eh? I get asholes with bean-can exhausts and kbheads tooting their horns on a regular basis.

Cut open the silencer box, remove the wadding and perforated pipe from inside - replace with steel pipe and weld box back up. Then its time to pi55 the neighbours off

Sounds awesome Oh

IIRC it cost about £100 - £120

Do a search for 'Exhaust Mod'

Well done, You know it makes sence. I had mine done about a year ago, its now going back to Peninsula in the next couple of weeks to get the pre cats taken out and non-revserse cones fitted.

You were impressed when I pulled away from the shell station on the Wimborne Rd, wait till these have been removed

Hi speedeight, welcome to the club!

Hi corin, i didnt know u had turbo, have i not being pyin attention then?

Just to add, exhaust mod does not affect pre-cats or mot. Although it will even pass mot with the pre-cats out too... allegedly! I'm leaving mine in though, to keep legal for trackdays.

Good luck, DEan

Yes it’s all run in and working fine, what with the Mark Adams chip, the stage 3 heads and the 404 cam it really picks up quite nicely
