I am new to Elise ownership and need some advice on exhausts. (for a 2001 K series Mk2 Elise)
A friend of a friend is selling a second hand Bell & Colvill sports exhaust for £200, which has had one years use. (cost new 338+ vat)
Also someone else has offered me a secondhand Janspeed sports exhaust for £250.
What do you reckon is the best buy? How do these exhausts compare for quality and also the important noise factor!! ?
Thanks for any advice on this.

B&C one will be nice. I'd go for that.

Get 2bular. Will cost probably double what other makes do but it'll be worth it !

Ive got a B+C one and love it to pieces. Managed to buy it from a dude on Seloc for £50 so got very lucky. Had less than 10k miles on it as well. Go for the B+C one, it seems a decent quality bit of kit!

Erm its hard to describe, plus Ive got a 57i fitted, which is the main sound you can hear as the revs rise.

At tick over and low rev pulling, it sounds meaty, and is a massive improvement on the standard box. I am thinking of putting the standard air box back on for a while so I can see what difference the exhaust has made.

It isnt massively loud, but loud enough to hear, and a lot lot louder than the standard. The thing is pretty deafening in the garage, and the good lady says she can hear me coming up the street now.
