Thread: Custom/Bespoke Exhausts

  1. #1

    Question Custom/Bespoke Exhausts

    I have a spare exhaust on the shelf so decided to talk to a company based here about making an exhaust for the NSX. They are Custom/Bespoke exhaust specialists and come recommended by a quite few people I know. So just wondering from the exhaust gurus on the site as to what are the do's and don't of this sort of thing?

    Many Thanks!

    Just thought I would have a venture into it and see how it goes. I know after market exhausts can be purchased from other places but wondered if we could get a quality system made that didn't cost big £££ and obviously beings bespoke the sound and exhaust tips etc can be made to suit peoples needs.

    I'm not a guru but it would be good to make one that avoided boom in the cabin at 2000rpm, is durable, lighter, and most importantly, gives more power. Cost isn't such an issue IMO

    Noel, I'm just working on the back box at the moment, don't think there would be any added power without a header upgrade. With going the bespoke route, once the guys get the template, from what I can gather it would mean customers can choose the sound. The exhausts are made from polished stainless steel.

    Any logical, half descent design would make more power than the standard rear box. Separate silencers for each cylinder bank is the most logical design, like Taitec JGTC, Larini, Dali RR etc should add 10-15hp to either a 3.0Ltr or 3.2Ltr.

    This is pretty much what the Larini guys did and indeed what Paul (Senninha) had made for him by Haywood & Scott. There's no question that this type of design makes good power but it makes a rather baritone, flat blare sort of sound. It's not unpleasant though.

    After fitting, the car also sounds like it revs lower to me and you lose some of the lovely top end induction howl because its drown out by the exhaust.

    Cheers

    Mark don't forget exhausts release power, not make it.

    Sudesh is really a trial and error thing mate, I think since exhaust are so subjective, is kind of hard to advice.

    Make sure that you start with a big box/boxes, if not happy then get them to chop them and add pipe, and so on and so forth.

    I went through this and spend lots of money, made a system only to be beaten to the finish line by the Crapini booming exhaust that sold for £ 400 beans.

    No quality stainless exhaust can be made for that money.

    Most owners do not even consider an exhaust until the OEM falls appart, then they either want a brand name and pay thousands for it, or buy a Crapini cheap and cheerful.

    I could not be bothered with loosing money on an exhaust enterprise. perhaps times have changed, but I been there done that and it was painful.

    PS A good flowing exhaust can liberate around 10BHP.

    PS Tell them you want T316 stainless.

    I know they use 304, but will ask about 316.
