Thread resurrection time.
I've had the car for almost a year now. In that time, she's taken us to Le Mans for this year's race and to the South of France. Plus various jaunts up and down the country. She hasn't missed a beat and has done exactly what I bought her to do. Waft me, the family, the dog and all of our luggage around in perfect comfort, with a hint of sportiness when needed.
Any yet...........
I popped over to see Nareman at Nuvola this morning. He has a fully auto 2007 car and I had half a mind to swap, so saving me the hassle when it comes to clutch renewal time. His car wasn't bad at all. But, I really wasn't enthused by it and then we got to talking about stuff and basically, he talked me into keeping mine. That's one of Nareman's many plus points, he gives his honest opinion, even if it costs him a sale.
So, I've decided to keep the car. But, I want to pep it up a bit. I don't want to spend more than £2,000 on her. The obvious option would be a Larini sports exhaust. However, I bought a pair of their rear boxes for my 4200 and the 'boom' from them at 2,500-3,500 rpm was so horrendous, I soon got rid of them. I don't fancy going through that rigmarole again.
What would you guys spend the money on?
Do Larini back boxes fare better, boom wise, when fitted to a QP? Has anyone had another manufacturer's exhaust fitted on their duo-select QP? What about a cheaper option of just a Larini x-pipe. I've checked out the You Tube comparison videos and an x pipe doesn't seem to make much difference, sound wise.
Any and all suggestions will be gratefully accepted.
