I've read quite a few posts about this on other Lotus forums, just wondered if anyone on here has fitted it to their Evora?
Any opinions appreciated.

All I know is it sounds awesome once installed.

I've been toying with the idea myself, would really like to hear one in person before taking the plunge though...

Just ordered mine, it's on its way now.
My Evora probably won't see the road again until spring, I'll give you a shout then if you want to have a listen.

Just the Lotus sports exhaust (think that's what they call it, the one with the blue tipped tail pipes) and the 2Bular cat-bypass.
Can't wait to try it with the Radium fitted.

I have the same set up:-) are you going to dyno her before and after?

Not planning to.
My car is in MMC for some warranty work and Craig is going to fit the Radium kit for me while he has it.
I'm not that well clued up on what a dyno run would do other than show the difference of before and after.
On my bikes we fit things like Powercommanders to adjust the fueling. Running on the dyno is used to set up the fuelling to produce optimum power/torque etc. I don't know anything about this kind of thing with the Evora - guess I'd better read up a bit!
I'm sure my bum dyno will let me know if there's any more power
What's your plans for fitting and set up?

Considering a pre fitting and post fitting dyno run to see the difference in bhp:-) haven't got mine yet

I've never been a huge induction kit fan, as I think they sound a bit 'Saxo' ish. Seems like Radium have pulled a blinder with their one though, and I'm quite tempted by one but would want to hear it first..

I'm the same Justin, sorely tempted but don't want to go to the hassle then not like it.....
Problem is I'm impatient...

Induction noise on a v6 isn't going to sound like a small capacity 4 pot. Besides you are looking at nearly 30bhp more:-)
