Thought about buying a after market exhaust for my Chimaera, till i saw the prices. Had my local TVR guy open up the box, and take all the sound insulation out, and weld two pipes instead of the perforated pipes, and reweld the box.

Wow what a sound, and all for eighty quid, nice V8 burble on tick over, and a nice not over the top roar at speed.

That's commonly referred to as "sleeved" :-)
