What is this exhaust? I'm stumped :?:

Post by gorrie » Sun Apr 01, 2007 9:43 pm

OK, when I bought the car from MMC it was advertised as having a Janspeed sports exhaust. Looking at the tailpipes, and by the sound I assumed it was a Supersport and not a Roadsport.

However... I have dropped the diffuser tonight prior to the powdercoating tomorrow and had a peek under. I have got no idea what this exhaust is now !!!

I've checked B&C, Hanger111 & Eliseparts websites and I can't see anything that resembles it. You can see that the tailpipes mostly fill the round cut-outs and while parked behind an S2 111s today outside Ed's place, I noticed how small the standard pipes were compared to mine.

The Janspeed ones pictured on the websites all seem to have 1 silencer... but mine has 2, smaller silencers (1 per pipe).

What the heck have I got? (apart from a cat)... ;)

:Edited:.. S2 K-series..

:thumbsdown

Oh bugger... I was hoping someone would come along and say that it actually was a janspeed. So it's not one you recognise then Rich?

Below is a Larini ClubSport with round tailpipes... It looks like a similar design... but, I'm not sure:-

Yeah, I know what you're saying... but I'd like to have been able to identify it ... in case I end up swapping it for the same thing ... lol.

Bit confused why it would have been advertised saying a Janspeed if it's not. I thought of there was any doubt they would just say 'sports exhaust'

So, is there any way to tell if it's a Larini? Are they stamped anywhere?

It is very similar to the Larini Sport, but the welding is not in the same class.

Looks like a Larini to me - Gareth's 135R had one fitted and his tailpipes were just as full in the arpertures

Cheers guys... well, if it looks Larini-esque... and sounds good.. I'm just gonna settle for the fact it must be a Larini.

Suits me, as I was wondering whether to swap it out for a Larini anyway (when I thought it was a Janspeed).

Does it sound nice? If so why are you even worried?

Yeah, it does Rich... I was more baffled (like the pun?) than worried to be honest. I'm one of those anal types that likes to know what he's got.

I think the 135R came with a Janspeed as standard so they probably thought it was still the original.

I think the 135R came with the same peashooter exhaust as the 111S.

Andy D would know as his 135R still has the standard exhaust I think... but as far as I'm aware, Simon is right.
