Wasso Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 As per the title, opinions on the exhaust positive or negative. Looking for food for thought. I've not yet been able to find a UK supplier unless I'm proven wrong. Traders, I'd be interested in price including shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 You do know its only a backbox, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Yup, already have the rest of the peripherals so it's a blend of cosmetics and any horses that may spring to life although not essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Adam @ Z1 lists it. Theres a few traders on my350z that have them in stock aswell. Its pretty expensive for just a back box though, I think it worked out around £400ish Looks nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 GReddy of course have a good name, the looks are of course nice, the problem is the lack of sound clips. I don't like the sound of the cheaper easily available exhausts, hence the selection above. It was Adam's site that I found it on originally, but fingers crossed there's a UK supply, which I doubt. I'll also take a look on my350z so thanks for the input on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Design wise it looks near on identical to a Tanabe Medallion that Tarmac is thinking of supplying, just the tips look different viewtopic.php?f=38&t=47153 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 I had seen that listed in the states. It scored a good 8 in my record keeping, but me like the blue flamed look. Why did you have to put me off the scent... That means I may have to re-consult my options. It would be interesting to see the price from Tarmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
introspect Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Have you thought about getting something custom made? I'm sure someone like Powerflow could copy the design and you could choose how you want it to sound. I'd imagine it would be cheaper too.

Husky Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 How much do they weigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I thought from the soundclips on youtube it didn't sound too bad? Though I preferred the evo2 from them or the titanium version. I think the SE was also pretty similar to the SP2 when I looked at them? Heck it even says that in a comment on youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 It would be interesting to see the price from Tarmac They are going to be around £875 delivered to your door, will be offering them to members in the near future once the deals been done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Husky - weight I'm sure will be lighter than oem. Intro - good idea, although I've not got a great deal of confidence in custom made only because I've not had any exposure to them. I guess it could be worth a visit to see what they could do. Rising - the look of the GReddy does it for me most of all and the lack of sound clips urged me to initiate this post. I originally wanted to go down the titanium route although price pushes it out of my market. Bullet - thanks for the price update. Seems a bit pricy, I guess that's not just for the back box? Thanks for the comments so far, it just shows the powere of this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved that also as well as the burnt tips, only thing which put me off is how it sounded with test pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Honeycomb - great a super sweet snack for long journeys. Just the exterior looks for me. sound with test pipes... That could now put me off. I'll have to refine my search the.to get further sound clips. I'm also running the Motordyne XYZ pipe so I guess that could further affect the sound! Hmmmmmm might go down the custom route, make some investigations and look at the options. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Totally agree that is no wonder he did the recording away from the general public. This video tempted me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This video tempted me Yup, saw that one also, if you can get it sounding like that post a video up Maybe not for looks, but my favourite single exit to date, might be a *little* loud though : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 A LITTLE loud, nah just perfect ha ha I'm going to make some custom made investigations me thinks. See what prices and sound as well as looks options I have. If only there were some more decent sound clips to choose from with the Spectrum Elite.

Daryl Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Spectrum elite sounds amazing,just what id want from an exhaust. Sounds really snarly at high rpm. Are they available in this country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ibe made my initial research and so far no it's not in the UK. so maybe a trader could confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eck1 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Im also going the custom route, luckily for me there is a very well known place here in sheffield for customs and pretty cheap too, anyway if your willing to travel this far try them at http://www.exhaustsuk.co.uk/ also love this sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm heading down to BMC on Friday http://www.bmc1.net/exhausts.php Lets see what they have to say.... they are interested in providing a copy very simular to the GReddy.... wonder if they can get a sound comparison also?
