Congratulations! Fantastic news. The sports racer really is a cracking package. The Evora remains a undiscovered gem for many petrol heads and it truly under rated.

I went with Larini. More of a super car howl than the 2bular which had a deeper tone.

Congrats on the buy!

Quite like my 2Bular, expensive - but sounds nice imo. I'd like a decat pipe though...

This is my SR (so no third cat from factory) with the larinibsports exhaust with valve. It sounds epic under load and has a lovely burble in sport at idle. When idling and revving it is not wildly different from the stock in the clip but in reality it is nicer. Like I say, under load is where you really hear the difference. Happy to meet and take anyone for a spin to help them decide. I am based in Essex.

Correct. People complained the 's' was not throaty enough so sr cars and I think MY 2012 cars onwards don't have the 3rd cat.

My N/A had a tubular and de cat, it sounded great but droned on the motorway, and was very loud, nearly as loud as my de catted carbon canned Tuscan which was over 120db.

My Evora SR has Lotus sports exhaust. Sounds almost as good as the tubular but no drone and not as ear splitting, still sounds great though

IMO burnt orange is the best Evora colour. Whilst on a factory tour in summer 2014, there was a solitary completed one (SR spec.) lurking in the corner. It could well have been this Silverstone car. To me it stood out above all the other cars I saw in the factory. I mentioned it to the final inspection guys at the end of the production line and they agreed that it was their favourite Evora colour combination .

I can't be sure but think it might be the only Orange SR ever made....

Blueg - is the Lotus Sports Exhuast the twin pipe one?

I had the Lotus sports exhaust and have to say I was impressed by it - nice sound when pressing on but never droned on a steady pedal on m'ways. Had a lot of friends compliment the sound too - including one with a Gt4 and another who has had numerous ferraris including most recently a 458 Speciale (and now a Huracan) so both of which were accustomed to nice sounding cars.

Yep.

Re the 'is it the only Burnt Orange SR?', if you apply for a Certificate of Provenance, you will get the definitive answer.
