I am not standing anywhere near Matt's listening to it. My ears are still ringing from driving it last year!Next time a few of us are together (LeMans perhaps) we should do some real life comparisons.
I am lovin my H - so have a less than 1000 mile X pipe as supplied by SI available if someone is looking.
Is it free sports cats and fitting if I provide all the copies of the incriminating Le Mans photos?We have X and sports cats coming that we have developed.

Matt? at AutoItalia? I think there's a thread on this isnt there?Thanks for the comments, it’s certainly difficult with a YouTube iPhone clip as well, you never get the true sound picture. I can well believe it has gained bhp. I used to run decat titanium exhaust on my 360 and the throttle response was vastly improved. You just need Matt’s remap now and I’m sure you’ll be running near 550, the F136 is very much ‘turned down’ from factory..
May do that in about a month or so - just to see. Then decide which way to go... Gut tells me the way i have it now, but you only know when you know right..Be interesting to hear with the standard x pipe if you plan to do that.
Wow. thats pretty much unbeatable.. Assuming the quality is there.. Dont get me wrong. I'm actually not convinced the Larini are all that great in terms of the actual care of fabrication, but they they are made from the right spec stainless and decent CATS internals.We have X and sports cats coming that we have developed.

Yeah thats exactly my thought.. But which one. Resonated or Non resonated H pipe... the choices hey. not sure if anyone out there has a view. I would edge towards the resonated one from my experience with the X pipe, but who knows.. For now anyway i will see how i go...i went back to sportcats and oem x-pipe as well on my 4.2 Too raspy and loud with larini X. Still debating if i want to try the H pipe.

For anyone whom wants a Larini X-pipe (only 100 miles on it) PM me.... basically new. Can do a deal..
Hi Scaf, how do you find the tone and volume of the H compared to OEM? I know you have standard CATS, but i would imagine whatever sound you have would simply be amplified by 15% with CATS. Now that i have experimented a bit, the CATS add more volume but don't change the tone much at all.. So i reckon Sports CATS and a H would be the same as yours but 10 - 15% louder..I got an un resonated H for my Strad but still have standard cats. It’s pretty darn loud and I love the tone.
Will be at the ace tomorrow
pick n mix.. car sweetie shop..!The Larini H is resonated, but not at the crossover. My (probably hazy) memory of it on Matt’s car was that it took away some of the noise and drama. The X in that respect, to me, is better. But it really is horses for courses. I like my X. Matt likes his X and cats. Scaf likes his H.
Maybe what is required is an exhaust try before you buy kit.
There are some sound clips in this thread that might help but I think you only really get to hear it when driving under load , lots of pins and Abby’s on overrun as wellHi Scaf, how do you find the tone and volume of the H compared to OEM?
