Exhaust note?

[diesirae]

I have just found out that the 99 4L exhaust of a very good friend is much louder (more TVR in other words) than my 2001 5L. To be honest since I have bought this 5L I never heard the exhaust note I heard so many times in England. Have TVR changed / soften the exhaust after 2000????? If so, how can I revert back to the true TVR exhaust sound?

Easy solution - a cherry bomb conversion from the Offords. Best money I think I have ever spent on a car

You can do quite a bit.

Remove the Pre Cats will change the sound.

Fitting a different exhaust system. Generally the options are:

1). Get the perforated pipes in the exhaust replaced with either Cherry Bombs or Sleaved Pipes.

2). Change the exhaust system to a Cherry Bomb System or a Sports system.

Funnily enough, a previous owner made mine 'louder' and, whist I love it, I actually prefer the original note when I hear it. Each to his own!

I agree, I still have all the cats and baffles in mine

It is loud enough to make people notice but not tiresome on long journeys.

yes im removing the precats over the winter lay/up with new oxy sensors,cant say i would want to remove the centre silencer or baffles,popping and banging are not my bag,also think the noise would be to much at speed each to there own though.

Thanks for the answers. Would you have the site where to order the cherry bomb from?
