I'm really having to bite my lip not to reply to the above quote!

Thankfully I am sorted with an exhaust, after studying and listening to as many as I could (Japfest last year was useful) I went for the GT Extreme £1350 (but depends on exchange rate as they are made to order in Japan). I dealt with Ravi at Umbrella Autodesign in USA, but he has an NSX he tests stuff on. An additional £110 import duty, but the quality it so very good, welds are perfect, the fit, flange to flange was spot on. It also has a removable spool piece that allows you to insert difference restrictors, so that you can change the pitch and flow through/or bypassing the actual silencers....

Not the cheapest, but not the dearest, the sound is so good, throaty on startup, crisp at at 3000rpm, howls at Vtec but never drones on a long journey. I kept the OEM one in case it did, but I will be selling that one now as no way could I go back to the muted silence of the OEM set up.

Hi,

as an alternative, I spoted 3 NSX's shown on pages 3 and 4 of the car gallery of www.zorstec.com a manufacturer of exhaust systems and manifolds for cars and bikes in Shipley. There are reasonably close up pictures of the exhaust systems shown pre fitting and fitted.

I have no interest in this company, but the reg of two of the cars is visible, a red one 2268 KR and a white one NSX 1.

If the owners are on here or known to one of us, they may give a lead to a UK supplier.

Cheers,

Andy

I think the white one is actually silver but never mind.....

The red cars version has a fair run of pipework. I wonder how the sound differs between the two? The silver one being a more conventional factory configuration. Both without Cats I notice....

Had a Zorstec on ours... guessing another member has it now.

I contacted Larini and the response was...

>> Sadly we no longer produce this system, nor do we do group buys.

So that's that avenue closed.

OK, so the guy on Ebay says he'd want £470 + £15 delivery for a group buy; he says he can get them "because he knows them" - so dunno if he can persuade Larini to manufacture, even if they say they don't produce that system any more.

He says he'd need a minimum of 3 orders, and it would take 2 weeks to fulfil. Anyone up for it? Please PM me if you're prepared to commit, and I'll push the button.

In light of recent events with internet transactions, before I give you a yes, what form of id have you got for this guy and how is the transaction going to happen? Is this via ebay, paypal etc. or do you just have this guy's email address?
