Can anyone direct me to a reputable company (ideally with a web site to peruse) where I can get CCC cans for a Tuscan S.

As a matter of interest how much should I expect to pay and is there many variations?

Thanks PHers...

I have the titanium cans which were top of the range a couple of years ago and set me back around £400. They are on my new car and look and sound awseome. They do several colours. Mine have an oil-slick type look, bluey gold.

Ps In fact if you go on their site, the bottom right pic is my old Tusc with the cans on. And yes the sticker is easily removed if you choose.

If I were you, if your car is under warranty, I would ask your dealer to fit them for you.

I was told by my dealer that TVR may reject warranty claims for engine problems if CCC cans are fitted. (Something to do with back pressure?)

If the dealer fits them then I guess you would have a comeback?

It's the only reason I didn't get any for my Tus.

Just take them off before it goes in for any work, TVR just use the backpressure b*lls**t to get out of paying for warranty work.

There is no difference in backpressure because the standard cans are a straight through pipe just like ours, the only difference is no perforations in ours.

I hear what you say Simon but should you happen to break down, be towed into your dealer, need warranty work and have CCC pipes on...................

I was going to buy some for my old Tusc but its going tomorrow and with a 3 year warranty on my new one I don't think its worth the risk.

Why don't you get TVR to approve them? I'll have a pair straight away if you do.

Simon from CCC is selling some of the Stainless ones on ebay, saving 50 notes.

Got them on now and know what everyone was talking about. I can't stop smiling.

our car went back to the factory for a rebuild with CCC cans on - no problems...they cant invalidate the warranty on the top end of an engine just for some different silencers surely !

Last time I was at the factory, at least a third of the cars waiting I assume for engine rebuilds (they cetainly didnt have engines unless jacking up the front is all the rage ) had CCC s or other non standad cans on. I had my TVR Gear ones fitted before delivery so I guess thats OK.
