I'm pretty happy with that.
That's better mate. You might win the Turner prize with that and yes you are sad.

The silencer is stock Evora S right up to the point where the outlets Y off to each side, so there is probably an extra 1 or 2kg over the standard Lotus silencer itself. However i have no CATs either pre CAT or post CAT, so my complete system should in theory be lighter than the Evora S one.
Either way my entire car is lighter than an Evora S anyway, for example my EB60 gearbox is 11kgs lighter than the Evora unit.

Its amazing what you can get away with on an older car - no cats and so on. The basic system needed for a v6 is so much simpler (and lighter) than the system that Lotus have to put onto the evora.

Video coming soon, I can't believe the sound this thing makes now, should be epic under load.
Absolutely love the sound of that Evora (+1) exhaust on there, it is defo going to sound better than any Evora (+2) out there, along with the Evora (+3) dash clocks it really is something special (mark them on the door for me please Paul :p)
