Andy, I'd love to tell ya that it's only the crap build up from the manifolds, but it's not . . .

When you get some miles on it and drive it for a few days without washes you'll note how dirtier the back of the car gets compared to when it had a cat in it . . .

Yep, my old precat used to get a bit of a dirty bum after a runsmile

One of my mates has got a standard griff, with all 3 cats still in place, and that chucks some proper mucky water out of the pipes..

I'll keep an eye on mine once I start using it, but you should have seen the soot build up in the old Y and manifoldsfrown And yet the tail pipes were as clean as a whistle..
Then you need to drive it harder rather than keep making video's of the damn thing hehe it does sound sweet thumbup

sounds very similar to mine from the sound bite, dont know if its me or not but I always remembered it being a deeper burble on my last cars (been away from the RV8 for 6 years)

Is this the more 'Tractor' sound people refer to that they dont like as much as the deep burble? think someone mentioned cherry bombs in a previous thread??

I do love the sound but wonder if there is a deeper note to be had scratchchin

That sounds really good. I bet you are very happy with that!

I had a look at the JP exhausts website, I didn't realise they did the exhausts for ACT.

I shall be looking forward next video when you take it out for a run. I reakon that will sound pretty mean on the overrun.

Yes just the sound I am looking for cloud9

I have contacted JP direct to ask them if they supply anything other than the Cherry Bomb system to ACT..

I do like the shortened silencer box...must better than straight through IMHO thumbup

IIRC The cherry bomb system is produced and sold only through ACT.

I think your options are:

Standard (something like 2 foot silencer)
Sports (shorthened like Quinny's)
Cherry Bombs (2 small bullet type silencers aroudn 18" or so on each pipe).

Sleeved - Straight through, either with wadding or without depenging on your conversion.

The "tractor" sound is usually the straight through sleeved pipes.

Quinny sounds nice! Definitely perfer it to the straight through sound.

interesting as I thought Quinnys (as mine) sounded a bit more tractor like than my memory of previous RV8 TVRs, must have been my rose tinted hearing aid biggrin

have we any sound bites of a sleeved system for comparison ears
