Bye...

[21TonyK]

Saying good bye to my Lotus as of Monday morning...









































...but only for a week when it should come back like this



SE Larini Sport with decat.

(forgive the poor pshop)

Ooooh cool... I've never liked the 'yota exhausts, that really takes the exige's arse up a notch!





And you almost had me going for a minute there you utter basterward!

That looks so much better, the 'yota exhaust is crap, even my Exige S looks shite compared to that. Do Larini do one for the S yet?

It is listed on their site. I'll mention it, it might be a "made to order" one.

My 04MY Elise 111S already has Lotus Sport pipes that look just like that but they came with the car as standard....who says the K-series cars are worse than the Toyota cars eh?!?!

[stew-S160]

racecar engineering have done a few articles on the rear diffuser of an S2 exige. the exhaust pipes as shown in the first pic really badly mess up the airflow and reduce downforce alot, whereas the second one, with a smooth diffuser, is alot better.

also it looks alot better anyway

The new look is excellent. Well done Tony.

Gotta love the sound of a good Sports exhaust as it pops n bangs when pootling through a traffic jam....livens the jam up nicely!

Cheers for the +'ve replies... I wasn't 100% sure until I chopped it and could get a real idea of what it should look like.

Next job will be to take the diffuser off when it comes back and patch where the old exhaust exited. Then respray or might even get it powder coated.

Anyone done that job?

Rivet in a piece of aluminium sheet then powdercoat would be easiest. I had the diffuser on my S2 Elise powdercoated black for £15.
