TVR Power launches new Tuscan exhaust

Blue-flamed, shark-nose system adds pizzazz

---

TVR Power has announced a new, blue-flamed, shark-nose exhaust system for all Tuscans. Pitched at £550 + VAT, you can find out more here: www.tvrpower.co.uk/store.php

Seem a bit max power for me... thoughts?

I have seen them on a Tuscan S and they actually look really good... they fit the car body line nicely...
at launch they were much cheaper wish I had bought them dont feel inclined to pay that amount for a pair of cans.

My thoughts entirely. They do look great, but £550 + VAT - that's a stack of money for some nice trims isn't it?

I would like to see some made that look like the Pagani system - really unusual, stylish without being garish, andwould certainly suit the hi tech futuristic avantgarde styling of the Tuscan.

.. but only a a short time ago the factory said that any exhaust mods invalidated your warranty .. is this now not the case?

...and most people would prefer a more reliable engine to start with.

If I'm correct, Blue Flame supply TVR with the OEM cans, so it may be a case that they are 'approved' by the factory?

I'm waiting for the sidepipes. They'd look awesome on a Tusc!

I am actually looking at blue neons for the footwells/something...

Not totally convinced by those cans. Would like to hear if they're less "rattley" than the CCC ones, though...

Rattley?

Yessy.

It's a bit "hollow" sounding, and the "throb" you get at a low speed sounds more of a raspy/rattley noise at higher RPM. Don't get me wrong, it's not the usual "what's falling off now sound", it's just not a perfect deep/throaty sound at higher RPM.

[dinkel]

Spade in a bucket kinda thing?

[whitey]

My CCC's are rattle free, just sound deeper and louder than my standard or sleeved cans.

I do like the tinging and pinging noise as they cool down after a hard blast
