Sagaris exhaust options/seat retrimming

[rykev]

Have just changed the Tuscan for a Sagaris.Its decatted but with the standard end cans on I find it to be a bit tinny until well up the rev range when it sounds great.Have put the blueflame cans from the Tuscan on it and while it sounds deeper its too quiet now.Are there any options out there like the power exhaust for the T350s,have tried searching on here but cant find anything and have had no luck on the internet either.Also any recommendations for a good trimmer in East Anglia or the midlands to retrim the Sparco seats from the Tuscan to match the new interior any suggestions welcomed.

hi,

I have decats also and they have made a huge difference though mine are stainless and dyno tested.

I have the same cans as you, I also have a set of carbon cans which are meant to be slightly louder but I have not fitted them yet. I was thinking about blue flame but now you have made me think other wise if tey are not as loud.

A nice chap called Keith in the midlands area has tried about every exhaust combination you can think about on a sagaris. If you search "Keith Sagaris" you will find him. He comes on here so I am sure he will pick this up.

Hi
The standard cans are sleeved and as such are exactly the same as the carbon cans so would not give any difference in volume,did try the set i had from the Tuscan but no difference to the standard cans.will do a search for keith sagaris.
Thanks
Kev

Keith, want to meet up at some stage to see your wheels. Mine is at Blackpool at the moment having its slats cut out, I have found a supplier for 4 pot rears, I just need to take my car to them for a couple of hours to get them measured up. I will probually get 6 pot fronts as well.

Kev, firstly, welcome to the Sag!

I have standard end cans on the Sag (sleeved) and it is currently with Racing Green for a service and I am considering a decat.

Blueflame have been developing some end cans for RG, specifically for the Sag, with a baffle that you can remove to make louder / insert to make quieter. I tried the 1st batch on my car and wasn't impressed so Martin has asked Blueflame to go back to the drawing board and come up with a louder can, which they have now done so I'm told.

Why not give Martin at Racing Green a call.
