TDV8 Exhaust Mod Question

Just picked up a nice example TDV8 to add to my collection and as good as it sounds would be nice to hear more of the V8 Laughing

I know theres lots of threads on here with modifying the exhaust, some taking just back boxes off, others its the centre box and some full straight pipe.

I want to know what its like to live with for those that have modified there exhausts and have had them for a while, any regrets doing it? best combo for just a little bit more sound? go aftermarket and replace whole exhaust or just cut the boxes off and replace that piece with a straight pipe or x pipe if centre box? RRS SUPERCHARGED, 22 INCH ALLOYS, JAVA BLACK, FULLY COLOUR CODED

Thoughts on a straight through system (no boxes) is that whilst OK for those in the front, it is a bit noisy if sitting in the back at motorway speeds.

Were I to do it again, I might have a small centre box fitted.

All new cat back 2.5" SS pipes, made and fitted by MIJ in Walsall.

They will fit whatever you want, and I paid less than the cost of the 2 rear boxes (LR prices) that I needed to correct the issue I had.

With regards to how bad is it, as you say, we're in the front, and I rarely have passengers in the back.

However, the 'bark' I get when you floor it is similar to my sons C63, which is the next best sound to a Merlin engine, and possibly why I won't be putting a box in it.

Any regrets of how loud it is or would u change it in any way? Any drone on the motorway or high speeds? Do u remember how much they charged?

Any video clips u can share? RRS SUPERCHARGED, 22 INCH ALLOYS, JAVA BLACK, FULLY COLOUR CODED

A C63 sounding exhaust on your RRS must be great to have, any vid clips?

Im thinking of going down the straight pipe route too, just trying to get input form others who have done similar mods Very Happy RRS SUPERCHARGED, 22 INCH ALLOYS, JAVA BLACK, FULLY COLOUR CODED

No regrets, I think it was £500 ish.

Like I said, I wouldn't have this one modified, but might have another one if I were to have another RRS, fitted with a small centre box to just turn it down a bit.

Mikey I saw a few posts about you doing a run of these but you didn't get enough interest.

Any chance of you resurrecting the offer to see if we have enough people to do a group buy?

Cheers

I think they have stopped doing custom work. If there is genuinely enough interest, I'd ask of they'd do a run of them. But unless we have at least 10 orders, I doubt they'd even entertain it...
