After a year of lurking, I’ve finally joined the club!

Stunning buy. Well done for going to Richard for it. I’m sure you won’t regret it.
Marios at Autoshield does X pipes. I had one of his fitted.

Headingley, about a mile up the road from the cricket ground. What part of Leeds are you from?

I'm in Horsforth so can you let me know when you are out and about - these Blu Sofisticato are common as muck these days!

I got my x-pipe from Marios but had it fitted at a garage near Pannal run by a mate. He took the original one off, sent it to Marios who made an exact copy and sent both back. The cost was about £300 from memory although it was a few years ago.

Look forward to meeting up sometime when we are allowed. There's another newbie from York way so there's a few of us around Yorkshire now.

A quick Google suggests Millbrook in Sheffield. But I have no personal experience. Might be worth looking on Pistonheads as well as they do more than Maserati.

Yep, I'm a Leeds lad.
Happy to help wherever I can.
There are a few of us Northerners that get together for Maserati drives. Some are the wrong side of the Pennines but despite that they have great taste in cars!

Here's my baby during a drive out.

Where in Leeds are you?

Leeds isn't in the North. :) @allandwf will certainly agree.

Dicky could probably arrange for Marios at Autoshield to supply and fit the X pipe prior to your collection. Lovely car BTW!

Weclome and congratulations. Leeds Uni grad here (far away now). Lovely part of the universe IMHO.

Ha will do.Not far from Horsforth at all.
X pipe procured. Will hold off on fitting just for now. Maybe live with the car as is for a bit and see if it’s needed. I had some Borla back boxes on the last big engined car I had (Jag XFR) so I probably will end up fitting it sooner rather than later!

I started with the same thought but not looked back. Happy to pop round when we are able to demonstrate the anti-social nature!

It’s landed. Wow. My only frame of reference for peddling a quick car are the supercharged Jags of about a decade ago. This is comfortably a cut above. Some quirks and foibles that I’m gonna enjoy getting used to, mainly in terms of the in car entertainment. But by god it’s a machine. Sport mode in a tunnel is an experience! X pipe also acquired but I might just hold off putting that on just yet. Bring on spring!81914
