Looking at exhaust options.

As most will know tried most variations over the years.

Would you go ACT or find a custom fitter,as they tend to be approx same price

I think the price for the ACT (JP) exhaust is very competitive ! They are nice quality and worth every penny .

I don`t think Tim at ACT puts a lot on them .

It`s a no brainer ,JP have been making TVR exhausts for years .

Yup go ACT. I had a bespoke exhaust made for my racer (and have ACT on my Chim) and it cost twice as much and took a couple of attempts until they got it right. ACT offer a brilliant solution so why try and re-invent the wheel?

Cherry Bombs do sound good. I have the ACT cherry bombs on my griff along with the ACT replica manifolds and Clive Ford Y piece.

This is not a bad example of what it sounds like:

I can`t have one of those exhausts ,combined with the ACT de cat Y piece it was intolerable ! Since the Emerald install and remap it`s even quieter.

Don`t know why .

I can believe that. When I changed the injectors on mine from the standard to Bosch red tops it changed the sound of the car.

You might find the cherry bomb + ACT decat is OK now. Mine is fine with that setup and although it is loud certainly not over the top.

I've got the ACT set up - manifolds, sports Y incl cat and cherry bomb system and am really pleased with it.

It fitted nicely and sounds great

Still waiting for it.. They take a couple of weeks to make and we're going to try splitting the system so shipping would be easier.
