Custom exhausts

[lambo_xx]

Hi hoping someone would be able to explain something to me about sports exhaust. Obviously when you fit a sports exhaust to a car it changes the way a car sounds, and different exhausts make then same car sound different. I.e. one might have more of a scream at high revs or a loud “bark” at start-up etc. Just look at the difference between a Tubi and a capristo exhaust, they both sound quite different.

Anyway this got me thinking about custom made exhausts. Has anyone ever had one made? Or know much about them? Can you for example “spec” the way you want it to sound i.e. could you say you want the exhaust to have valves in it that open at 3k revs and on start-up to create that bark sound etc?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know by any chance if they can do things like add valves in to the exhaust, so it's nice and quiet when driving normally then mental when really going for it?

The only thing that worries me about getting a custom exhaust is that obviously you can’t really “try before you buy” i.e. you won’t know what it sounds like until it’s on the car.

Yes they will, and Don who runs it made a system for 3 of my Italians. I have known him for a number of years. He will let you try it on your car first if you are ok with they guy.
Don makes systems for big name companys through out the UK, including Graypauls. So going to him cuts out the middle man.
