Best Sports exahaust for a Tam

[Jalfonse]

Ii'd like to change my currently standard exhaust to one that pops on overun and sounds deeper at Wide Open Throttle but doesn't drone or just sound to loud when cruising. Is this possible?

My current exhaust doesn't pop at all and does drone quite bad when cruising at mid rpms.

I had a bad experience with a V8 mustang, I changed the factory exhaust and the aftermarket item droned horribly, it lasted 1 week.

Thoughts appreciated, Lee

The Power one sounds great plenty of pops!!! there one for sale on the classifieds!

I think what your are looking for is the TVR Tamora full big bore system "cherry bomb" from ACT.
The ACT/Power "sports" exhaust I think may be too loud for what you want.

The blueflame is slightly louder than std and deeper with pops and bangs

Great pops and bangs and not over noisy at MW speeds.

Firstly decat it if you haven't already.

I'll go along with getsis on this one- ACT big bore cherry bomb system.I put one on my sp6 Cerb & made a fantastic difference.Deeper growl,nice rumble on tick over with a more "v8 ish" sound about it.Pops & bangs were ridiculous! Artillery grade. Not sure what's on the end on the Tam,cans etc.Not wishing to upset anyone,but I much prefer it to the "raspy" sound of some.

Just a word of warning with removing CATs, since January 2012, cars that originally had a CAT should fail without one. Obviously this depends on who is MOTing it - them's the rules apparently:

SECTION 7: Exhaust, Fuel and Emissions
• A catalytic converter missing where one was fitted as standard. (Vehicles subject to a full cat test only.)
Exhaust tailpipe positioned so that fumes are likely to enter the driver’s or passenger area.
• A fuel pipe or hose excessively chafed or damaged.

Thanks for all the replies, sounds like ACT full system with Cherry bomb could be what I'm looking for. Has anyone got a sound or video clip of this system (iphone recorded drive-by would be good?).

Silly question, what is the cherry bomb centre section, is it just an expansion volume placed in the system to create the 'pop' on overun?

Thanks again, Lee

Just to complicate things a bit, the same system can sound different on different cars. One of the joys of owning a unique hand built car.

I have got video but the sound is distorted as it was done on my phone.Its being rebuilt at the mo but when I get it back it may sound slightly different again! I'm sure there was footage of a blue t350 on you tube with a cherry bomb on it.

Not sure if this link will work coz I'm a muppet!

The link worked fine, thanks. I'll have a search on Youtube for the T350, was limiting my search to Tamora, I'd forgotten they are so similar.
