My Dad has a 99 chimaera500 and I can't convince him to go for a sports exhaust. Most sports exhausts I've been told about involve simply removing the silencer box and replacing it with straight through pipes, but people say this involves loss of power and failure at MOT tests. Companies such as wedge automotive supply full systems, but do they make a big difference from the standard ones and are they worth the money!!
Would appreciate it, if anyone can help as I need more rumble!!
Cheers

Thanks guys for all the replies. I'm still unsure what to do. Is it worth the extra noise, to face rejection for noise levels at a trackday????
I spoke to the guys at Thames Valley Race Tech, who supply two 58mm pipe sections to fit into the silencer box, roughtly 100 quid fitting plus vat.
Colin, maybe when Mervyn sells his car he'll put the standard exhaust back on and sell me his sports exhaust!!!!
S should fly round Kirkiston this year, hopefully I won't spin it at 90+mph going round debtors, like I did in the Chimaera!!!!!
See u on Sunday
Cheers Mike
