Hello all,

In an endeavour to get Stephanie’s TVR sounding as it should, we need to find a standard exhaust for the car. 1996 (4.0L) model. I know that having a loud exhaust is great now and then, spitting fire and sounding like that earthquake, is not our thing.
Is there anyone who would like to swap their standard system with our sleeved up system?

If so while the car is up on the ramps here in Kettering, feel free to exchange it. Mo monies need change hands!

How unsociably loud is it? I some time come home late at night and don't know whether my neighbours would appreciate it!

I've just emailed a mate who has a Griff who is looking for a sports exhaust, Will let you know!
I assume the exhausts are the same on the Chim and Griff!

No I believe the Griff exhaust is different to the Chimaera, it has shorter tail pipes that sweep up at a higher angle at the rear.

Justin,

If it's still available, can I come over and have a listen to it, have a 96 N 4 litre with what i think is a standard system.

How much of the system do you require? guess its just the sleeved section?
