Paul, do you have Dynamic pack or are the Brembos aftermarket?

How do you find ride quality if not fitted? Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

ST,
The Brembos are the same as those fitted to the S/C, but I had them fitted after-market and I don't have the Dynamic Pack installed.
I haven't noticed any difference in the ride quality, it is still smooth and compliant.
Whilst the tyres are a 40 profile, they are also wider, which increases the depth of the sidewall again, giving back the compliance this is possibly lost on the standard 275/40x20 tyres.

Good point Paul.

I have found (Much publicised on the forum) that the move from 19's to 20's has significantly firmed up the ride. Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

I think you'll also find that the Hankook tyres have more compliant sidewalls than the Continentals.

Quality costs Wink
All I can say is that I'm very happy with it. I gave the car a good clean last night and when I saw it this morning in the early sun, I couldn't help but smile, it looks stunning Cool Cool
JE might be open to a group buy if a number of interested parties get together.
Interestingly, the full system is much, much easier to install than just the rear part. The full system also includes a smaller, freeer flowing front silencer, which is, I assume where the new V8 like rumble comes from.
In which case, you may feel that a full system represents better value that just the rear.
Although the standard system is "stainless", I suspect it is pretty low grade because mine was showing signs of rust already, whereas the JE system will last a lifetime.

Yes - I would second that Paul. They are so much better than my standard SS things as supplied by LR

They are QUALITY Thumbs Up


Here is a very close up shot of mine..........

Here is a pic of the before and after. Top pic is standard supercharged exhaust - Bottom pic shows my new JE Engineering exhaust. See how it fits the lower skirt/vallance so much better.

The beauty is that system fitted to Paul's TDV6 is designed especially for the TDV6 - I have seen it 1st hand and it not only looks good - its sounds good.

I'm really impressed that the exit exhaust is underneath Exclamation I didn't know that Paul when we spoke at JE that day. Although we did see them on the RR.
Well as I was intending to have these full exhausts fitted anyway. And now that I've seen your pics Paul, I will have to speed up that process to ASAP.

Save me taking the badge off RRUK Ner Ner

As for the JE tune. Its fantastic Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Its time you chaps tried it Exclamation TDV6 - gone

They're very good. Everyone who has seen it (and heard it) has been thoroughly impressed.
I think JE may well become a site sponsor in the near future so there may be more opportunity to organise group buys & discounts etc.

Back from my hols...........500 miles on 3/4 of a tank Very Happy

Whilst in Devon I met a chap with a V8 90 who said "I wish I had your engine!" when he heard mine, thinking that it was the SC.
I couldn't string him a long for too long and had to tell him it was really a TDV6 with a JE exhaust.

He was completely fooled Cool TDV6 - gone
