2Bular Ultra + Dartford tunnel = Massive grin

[Joe - Exige S]

I went through the Dartford tunnel last weekend whilst the England game was on (roads empty) and could not resist repeatedly slowing down then flooring it!

[cheekymonkey]

i did the dartford tunnel in 2nd gear last saturday morning... absolutely fantastic noise... big bore manifold, crp, janspeed s/s zorst and itg carbon kit combine to make one hell of a noice...

just waiting now till i get a chance to change over to an eliseparts zorst and maybe a hurricane for even more noise! (and flames)

Hahaha nice one Joe that must have sounded awesome. I got my 2bular the same as yours and fitted it last night! (3hours lol) Oh my god its sooooo loud isnt it. So happy! Going to have to find some tunnels also and take the roof off. It pops and bangs like crazy! Seriously everyone has to have a 2bular from jim on their car. :-)

Excellent! - So you went for the Ultra in the end?

They really are fantastic aren't they!

I can't imagine owning an Elise or Exige without one now, it would be such a wasted opportunity!

PS: We have very similar taste in cars, aside from the Exige S and 2Bular I had a Clio Cup as well.

Nice one Alric! Erm, I've sent those fitting instructions you were looking for.

[Alric]

Yeah I thought what the hell might aswell make it sound like it looks, so got the Ultra!

Ahh yeah very true that clio is a v fun little car. haha same taste, good man!

Can you imagine both our cars in a tunnel at the same time. Muhahaha! That would make good pistonhead tv. lol

It would be just like standing in the tunnel at Monaco during the F1 GP!

Yeah, now that there are a good few of us with 2Bulars we should arrange a meet

As you say, that really would make fantastic viewing!

When I came through Dartford tunnel at 9pm on a tuesday night once, I let all the traffic ahead get to a decent gap, then caned it through 2nd and 3rd and into 4th. The Larini sounded gorgeous. It was really warmed through (just driven back from Germany) and popped and banged on the gearchanges

My mate who was behind me ordered a Larini the next week!!!

[Alric]

Jim - No probs it was pretty easy just a case of pulling and pushing the old exhauast off. After that it was fine. Thankyou again so much for such an amazing exhaust and fantastic service. Can't wait to drive the car again I had a permanent grin on my face last night. :-)

Joe - Yeah I can imagine that really would be something. Well have lotus will travel so if you happen to get one sorted il be there matey :-)

Sounds fun. Shame you can't enjoy the sounds on any track days though...

Randy, I'll be the first to admit the popularity of the Ultra caught me completely by surprise. For the past 18months I've been refining my exhaust designs with noise issues in the UK firmly in mind!
Any prospective buyer of an Ultra is well-warned of course that it's not for TrackDay enthusiasts. There is however, a trend starting - people are buying an Ultra for "fun" and the larger silencer(s) for TrackDays. Can't complain

You could've gone to the unsilenced day at Donington Park last weekend though.

Saw your car up there a few weeks (might have been longer than that thinking about it) ago parked outside Randy.

After taking the plunge myself and being so happy with the results it is trend for which I feel happily responsible for accelerating!

Jim,
Judging my the amount of feedback & questions (Off the back of my posts on my Ultra or hearing my car) I receive via email from people who have placed orders for Ultras or are about to you must be doing a roaring trade in them.

Now how about a bit of commission then

Are plans afoot for a sports cat then Joe?

Jim certainly has patience - I have asked him so many questions and he always replies within 24 hours! I did hear Joe's Ultra on some PH TV clips but it was Jim's attitude and responses that really convinced me to go for the Ultra.

Yeah, was up there racing the GT3. Now that is noisy

The GT3 being the Nissan??

I've seen you racing that previously and the way it accelerates down the straights and Donington is unbelievable. Love the noise too

[randy]

No, the GT3 Lotus in Brit GT.

Only been out in the Nissan once this year If you fancy seeing it again the next outing is at Silverstone 28th/29th of this month. Last race I got 3rd from 13th on the grid so I'm determined to get a win. Maximun boost and whoooooooosh.
