I've bought stuff for other cars on aliexpress and strangely enough the experience has been positive. A bonus with the cf item is that I dont have to get it painted to match. But I will price new as well (if is the sports design pack one).

Thanks for all comments, gentlemen. Particularly the touring tip. I take it that otherwise it is permanently loud.
C'mon Bruce, man up and just get an SVR, you know you want it.
Don't fuss about the teensy weensy matter of a $100k+ changeover cost!

haha, I was a bee's dick away from it last week, but in the end rational me won out. It was the blue one on carsales. But in the end I thought I'd be spending $100K plus duty to change into a car in a colour I dont like as much as IRR, all to get quad pipes and v8 roar (quilty interior also a bonus), when I really like what I've got. I hope I'm not getting sensible in my old age...

From another thread, I noticed you have the VAP V8 muffler (Valvetronic) installed - are you pleased with the result?

It's epic! Makes the sound much deeper and burbly, massively louder. Just the right side of obnoxious. I had the VAP tune and pulley as well which might have deepened it.

I've never got a good clip of it but I will try again.

Bear in mind the cost gets quite high if you have to buy the OEM rear apron to fit it - the cost of the few bits of plastic were pretty much the same as the cost of the exhaust itself - though Unhinged got a second hand one when he did his and saved some money. I dont regret a cent of what I spent, it transformed the car in looks, sound, and performance (not that it was lacking to start with).

Interesting, I will add this to my future mod list.

I second everything Bruce says in his review.
It’s off the hook. Truly exotic sounding.

I should add that it does get some drone cruising at a bit over 100kph, unless you pop it up a gear or drive in dynamic.

Yes, the 2000- 2500 rpm drone.
