Don't laugh at the title - I've just bought a very tidy but standard 06 plate FL Roadster. Drives very nice, performance not bad once you get the revs up, but I'm looking at some mods to increase the sound levels, particularly at higher revs.

I'm not too fussed about performance increases, and I know I'm limited anyway with the exhaust and intake here. I also don't want the hassle of swapping out exhausts for MOT emissions, so will be keeping this as CAT including standard manifolds.

I've resorted to looking at various Youtube videos to get an idea of the different systems/sounds (TTE, Cobra, Fox etc) but would appreciate some advice here.

Is the COBRA exhaust the best for noise levels, and on cold air induction kits would folks recommend the K&N set up?

Cobra is loud no doubt.
Janspeed/Che is probably louder still.
Think TTE sounds the best tbh.
You can go custom not always as expensive as you think and they can tailor the noise level to requirements.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I have an intake system in the for sale section which give a nice noise on WOT

swiftyds

Thanks for the response - I don't see your intake in the for sale section.  In fact I don't seem to see any General for sale items only vehicles or swaps?

Ah you need 30 posts I think

swiftyds

Ah ok - can you PM me details of what you have for sale?

I will try to get up to 30 posts in the meantime without making a nuisance of myself !

Cobra for the exhaust and make your own induction kit for behind the battery.

Only need a 45 deg piece of tubing, a cone filter of your choice (K&N is common) and the maf housing cut from your current air box.



You wont regret it   s:D :D s:D

Love the sound of my cobra exhaust, it is loud but not to loud to wake the neighbours

I always thought my H&S exhaust wasn't too loud, but the inlaws could always hear me coming from a fair distance away.

+1 for H&S...  My wife could get the kettle boiled and a cuppa ready for me from the point she first heard the car approaching   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Can you still buy H&S new? Just looked on their site and they only list gt86 now.

It wont be cheap.

Guys you forgot to add the health warning for the h&s. I still feel the pain from my ears every time i remember hearing that exhaust.

Best bet would be to give them a call - they seemed the kind of place that would make it if they can (I believe they started making them initially at the request of a member).

I'll be selling mine shortly too.

H&S make systems to order, so call and ask. You could get Pete at PTR Exhausts a call, again, bespoke made one offs, he'll need your car for a day or two, but you can have exactly what you want.
Ex 2GR-FE roadster. Sold it. Idiot.  Now Jaguar XE-S 380. Officially over by the bins.
