Hi there

The Sag used to belong to a friend of mines and the plate is a clue to his first name.

As far as I know all of the engine was standard and that lovely noise is purely generated by the rare exhaust system.

Regards
Simon

It's just the Racing Green exhaust on the speed six, I quite like the look of them.

That isn't just the RG slash cuts, Keith had some small back boxes made up specially to go with the ends.

I purchased the end pieces off of him but he had sold the small cans seperately so had to get a set made myself.

Funny how people still seem surprised that a speed 6 sounds better than a V8. They have been around for 14 odd years now.

I was here at gaydon where this is, the car was not that loud on tick over but my good it was seriously loud on throttle. Sounded like someone had fired up a plane. It was a deep meaty noise to with loud explosions

It won the sound comp easy and was against tough cars, old muscle cars, diablo's etc

Awesome

That’s my old car frown had it for six years before moving on smile

Thanks for the link Alex

It was de - catted, the rear silencer was cut open the wadding removed and welded back up. The exhausts were Blue flame with the sound reducers out (still have them in the garage).

It did have straight through pipes on so no silencer at all but I found it too loud and sold them to Keith in the first video. These were made for a short time by TVR Power.

Good to see the old car smile

So have I got this right...the monstrous roar produced by Keith's car is achieved just by doing the above mods??!!confused

Sportie, do you mean you still have the Blueflame cans or just the sound reducers, if you still have the cans would you be interested in selling them. Will send a PM via PH but they don't seem to work for me for some reason.

I have a set of the slash cut RG exhausts in the garage I may consider selling at the right price :-)

Hi Matt
Thanks for the offer but i have a set of the slash cuts on the car currently, always liked the look of the Blueflames as they went well with the car so would look to get another set if possible.

From memory yes, but it was some years ago now and we were always checking out new mods smile
