Heres a video of a lap I did. I need to be much smoother and learn the track but I'm pretty new to track driving.

Stunning build mate. Just bought an e46 m3 myself for the track. Early days and a work in progress but may take some inspiration from your build : )

I too have come from Fast JDM stuff, still own an R35. Looking forward to spanking the NA M3 round Anglesey in a couple of weeks.

Really interested in the single exot exhaust, must save a lot of weight as well. Could find it of GS's site. Roughly how much was it?

Keep the updates coming mate

I have asked that same question twice already and have been ignored both times so I will answer your question for you.

It was £1,490 delivered and both myself and my friend bought one. They make them to order and it takes roughly 8 weeks, although I was lucky that they actually had two in stock as they get a few made up when someone orders one.

I don't know if it was intentional in this case but there does seem to be a widespread element of secrecy around price paid for things on forums in general which is pretty ridiculous really - especially on discounts on new cars etc.

It's not a bloody secret and no, you didn't get a once in a lifetime deal that no one else could get rolleyes

Whenever I get a good deal on something I am happy to share it so others may do the same!

It looks well made and is much much lighter than the standard exhaust although I haven't weighed either yet!

Cheers mate, appreciate the reply/info : )

I've seen Walton Motorsport make them up as well and give a weight saving of approx 27kg. Good to get an idea of what's on offer out there.

lol chill bro, send me a PM if you want any details on pricing etc. I just use this as my build thread so try and keep it tidy. I don't check here often either. Glad you got the exhaust they sound great and are really well made.

You don't accept emails when I tried.

Have you had any issues with noise?

I was with my friend who bought the other one at Donington yesterday and he go black flagged and after the second time they wouldn't let him back on the track. That was with a noise reducer baffle fitted that he bought from the shop too.

It measured 92dB static at Oulton 10 days ago but was 99.8dB on the Donington drive by microphone which got him banned.

Thankfully I hadn't fitted mine yet but I am now concerned about doing so.

I used it at Donington with no issue at all. its pretty quiet until higher RPM but i like it, i don't really want a quiet exhaust as the sound is part of the enjoyment for me. Donington is super strict and weird but i didn't get flagged at all when I went.

Hi Mark,

No I sent it back in the end because I can't be bothered with any noise problems so still running the standard exhaust just now.

Hopefully going to get my air box done over winter and get a dual pipe exhaust made up which should be quieter.
