What more could you want?

Rich

more noise eh? sounds like something i'd like then!

i'd like a larini but i'm going to wait until i actually need to change the exhaust.

and i'm still liking hte blue neon idea but i've been told i'm not allowed to do this by my "far more mature than me" 21 yo girlfriend. apparently if she wanted to be driving about in a ned mobile she'd be seeing someone about 18. well that's me told then!

Ninja,

How old is your car? Can recall hearing about an S2 that needs a new exhaust yet.

You might have a bit of a wait on your hand.

I like the Janspeed exhaust (available from PTP) for the S2.

Cheers

Mine is a 2001 also.

I couldn't wait to get the standard system off, it makes the car sound like a sewing machine

Take yer pick....

IIRC, the Club Sport is louder than the Sport, but check with Simon to comfirm that.

£580 or so

have to smash the piggy bank and check to see what i've got. lol

will i have to reset the throttle if i just fit the hurricane by itself?

and if so how the hell do i do this? i've only ever fitted an induction kit to a ducati before.

Throttle re-set shouldn't really be necessary TBH... The old trick with the S1 on MEMS management was:

Ignition on
Fully depress throttle slowly 5 times
Ignition off

But I don't believe this applies to the S2. Just whack it on and drive, the ECU uses a Manifold Air Pressure sensor anyway, so it will automatically compensate for more airflow.

COOL!

sounds like the way to go.

now where do i get a cheap hurricane from? ideas?

lol, remember i'm scottish so if i can save something - anything off the 180 quid i'm currently looking at i'll be happy.

Only other place I know of is http://www.elise-shop.com But Yvo is based in cloggieland, so when you add the carriage, it ends up much the same....

We used to have a Scottish supplier, but it all seems to have died on that front...

you can always drop past sometime to hear if it you want too.

You got a commission on Janspeeds or summit?

Yeah - yours does sound good though..

Ninj, your best bet to hear an example of each (simon's Larini and mac's Janspeed?) as it's very mucha personal choice thing. I belive the Larini is slightly better built, by reputation, though.

Sure they will be in the same place at the same time at some point over the coming months.
