JMAX1888 23 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Save yourself 4K and get the H&S back boxes for £900. I’ve had mine on for a few months now and keep meaning to put up a video but just haven’t had the time. Sound is seriously addictive and dont be put off with all the talk of drone etc. Very little and only at about 80 to 85 on motorway under slight load around 2.2k revs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you got some pics? Please do share a video whenever you can ☺️ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMAX1888 23 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 That’s the one. They offer chrome or black tips. I went for chrome. Be careful when ordering as they dont send any nuts, bolts or gaskets. They may do if you ask though. Mine’s took about 8 weeks for delivery and not 4 as they claimed at order. I’ll try and sort some pics out soon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The best is to take the car to them to install it :) Did you inform your insurance when you fit it? Will this impact your MOT or road tax? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah if you can get it fitted at their place that would be best. I’m in Glasgow so that wasn’t an option for me. My insurance policy covers an exhaust change. MOT wont be an issue as it’s only the back boxes and no removing of cats. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glad to know you haven't faced MOT issue by deleting back box, I was talking with a friend he changed his AMG exhaust and failed mot so the poor guy had to put the stock pipes again that scared me a bit honestly that's why I asked you :) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashrez 113 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Thought I'd chime in with my system. I've got a remote controlled valved system by Bulletperformance Exhausts. With the valves closed it's quiet, even more so than stock would be and absolutely no drone. With the valves opened, it's insanely loud! So it's got abit of a jekyll and hyde syndrome. It's significantly cheaper than most valved systems so that's a big plus. An RCF system typically costs less than $2,000.00. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you ever had a problem with mot as the exhaust might be too loud? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In what regards would it cause a problem ? Send it in valves closed 😂. My garage is rather sterling tbh, use them frequently enough and little things get ignored as long as they don't compromise the safety of the car. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keep the stock exhaust and when selling supply either or both. Tbh insurance costs don't go up hugely for an exhaust mod. Less than my 9 points 😅 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RR Racing Super charger 😅and the remap. May lower not sure. The reg it comes with is pretty nice so shan't get a personalised. Not quite sure when I'll find the money for it all with Christmas coming up and clearly gonna have to spoil the wife & kids😅 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not quite sure when I'll find the money for it all with Christmas coming up and clearly gonna have to spoil the wife & kids😅 Seems a lot of work mate and money of course 😂 Ghost Immobiliser is a must specially if you don’t have a private garage and live in big city, well I live in London and this RCF I got attracts lots of attention I mean a lot so I was worried a bit as these days thieves can steal in 20 seconds, I contacted 2 companies dealing with car securities to install it they sent their technicians but both failed to do the job because F models are rare unlike German cars they work on daily basis. Eventually I had to contact Autowatch and asked for an experienced guy to do the job and finally someone could install it. Finally, I can sleep at night without looking out of the bedroom to see if the car is still there 😄 If you ever want it I can share the details believe me it can save you hours of time because not all can work of Lexus cars let alone the F models 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

By any chance do you know the exhaust (Armytrix) Bd readings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
