All I can say is Larini = THUMBS UP!
Do a search on here and you may find some video clips of Tony Hetherington's old car (now mine), an S2 111s, with the Larini with and without the cat. It sounds bloody good.
Go on, you know you want to.

Try posting on www.seloc.org (explaining that you have an Exige S). That way, you'll be more likely to get an informed response.

thanks tina

[crackthatoff]

ive also got one ...... sweeet !

[shangani]

Backbox is fine, but the cat is a waste of money imho unless there is something wrong with your current one.

Mylesmcd, you from the Island of Ireland? Good to have another Lotus owners on board.

Have a look on Octane.ie you'll mind lots of like minded individuals there too.

What type of Elise do you have?

[mylesmcd]

ultra, i am indeed!!!
i have a graphite exige s 08

i think im gonna do the larini back box. if that doesnt gimmie enough i ll go back for the cat replacement. if that doesnt do it, well i dunno. i ll find something, although it ll be illegal i guess

[bananamana]

Ya Octane is getting more Lotus by the minute...

There will be more Lotus' in ireland than people who would usually drive them very soon! lol, wtfbbq?

[TonyHetherington]

Have you heard the videos I posted in this thread? (mine's the white Exige S with Larini back box/sports cat).

I'd say, without doubt, go for it. Superb exhaust

[mylesmcd]

Nope no larini. On an exige s you want a 2Bular. Make larini look and sound like they are playing at the 'zorst game. 2Bular are a propper bit of kit.

I am coming up to the first service on my Exige and I am looking at which exhaust to put on. Problem I have is the warranty for the next 18 months or so. Has anybody heard of Lotus pushing back on warranty claims on cars fitted with a non Lotus exhaust?

bks - Larinis are a very well made. Have you actually seen one - mine was a work of art when it came out of the box and it still looks great 30 months on
