As promised, below is the link to a couple of pictures of my car along with a video clip where you can hear the straight pipes on there.

Thanks for the vid mike. That looks just like the stock 02 rear - but i'm guessing you've just got those pipes running straight off the back of the cats?

Silver is a great colour btw..

Yes it does look stock. I kept the stock tips of the muffler so I can keep the stock look. I am running straight pipes with no cats. The car finally sounds and performs like what these cars are suppose to be like.

Great sound!

I have just pipes but left the cats on. Have you compared both versions and can you comment on how much louder yours are than mine with cats?

Thx Dan

The straight pipes are a bit louder than the cat back system. Without cats you can hear the turbos spool up and down whic makes driving a lot of fun. Best of all I noticed a huge difference (high rpm) on the power without the cats. Only problem is the occassional backfires when you step off the gas after high accelaration. But, all I can say is that it has made my lotus ownership 100 times more enjoyable.
