Looking for a good custom Exhaust shop in the Burbank, Glendale, LA area.
I need a lighter exhaust for the Exige S. Stainless steel. 10 - 12 lbs'ish would be nice, diffuser exit.
dont want to spend more than $500. and dont want to wait 6 weeks and then spend $850.
thanks

Can you go basically straight/open pipe to a Supertrapp ?

I think that would be waaay too loud.
Plus I want something that would some day be stock legal. Diffuser exit type.
Im going to try Morse Muffler in Burbank.

On a mid engine car you'ld have to work pretty hard to make an exhaust not stock legal. Like run it forwards to terminate in front of the driver
I'd call Blackwatch to see what exhaust dyno's the best and buy it.

So you'd rather pay $400-500 this week for something cobbled together by a muffler shop that is untested and that may actually rob you of power?
I don't get it.

Here you can see what goes into for instance creating a high performance exhaust manifold for a Miata ... they tested all of these various length pipes to get the best combination ... all that to get 5 to 6 hp.

Hey Robert,
Hows the Von Hep low exit single tip?
I really like the 11.5 lbs and the price is better for me.
Is there a wait period?
super charge tested?
thanks

You'll have to ask Fred, I never tested that one, but I'd bet it's a bit on the loud side...
