Anyone got these installed?

They do away with rearboxes completely?

That is an awful lot for not a lot of pipework... Not sure plod would give you an easy time with no boxes? It does give me an idea though.... Surely there is a half way house to be had here, with just a single reverse and not a lot of wadding.... Think that's a winter project with my welder and some stainless!

I have got something similar on mine with no back boxes. Can be very loud, but tuneful, when giving it the beans but taking it easy around town it kind of moans and then pops, farts and crackles on the overrun. At 80-90 on the motorway, with cruise control doing its stuff, there is just a pleasant background noise over which you can speak normally. I would heartily recommend removing the back boxes as it accentuates the famous Maserati growl and makes every journey, well, special.

 

[Parisien]

Any chance you'd pop your head under and check if any make on them Benny?

I thought they were quite reasonably priced.......compared to Larinis back boxes etc

PS Love the poppin' fartin' type noises Benny....like an automotive orchestra to me....

 

[BennyD]

No make P. Had them made up at a place in the Midlands. It's just a bent pipe with a twin tip. They cost £330 IIRC. Got them on to see if I could live with the sound; I can and I am leaving them on! A very cheap alternative to the usual Larinis. She already had Larini sports cats fitted when I got her, so she breaths very well. But, EVERY time I give her the beans I can't help but laugh out loud. Fabulous.

Cool......done in 308 SS? ....link you pics to this thread .....2 twin pipes at rear.......

Hope to hear them at Stanford!

Had mine done on the Royal Wedding Day - they've gone back to work and I'm on honeymoon every time I drive it!

Rear boxes removed, great sound and only cost £250!! So no issue if I didn't like it and wanted to go back to stock.

Fabricator stuck this on his website.

YTHM......fully fitted......whats it like on hard accelaration....or on lift off....much blatting and popping etc?

How quickly can they do it.....now have a template of yours? Under car pic?

Yep fully fitted - it took him a bit longer than he anticipated to remove the boxes as wheels had to come off (I did tell him this before) - but he stuck to his original quote. Blatting etc on lift off - completely stunning in tunnels on hard acceleration. I've not heard Larini's/Quicksilver etc. so unable to compare the sound but I am very happy with it and the price allowed me to purchase a set of black wheels the next day, so a rapid change from silent and sober to loud and angry! I waited a week for the fitting to give time for the new tips to come in. They are not identical but close enough for me!

I will attempt a decent pic of the replacement pipes and post later.

^^^^^ This.


Ahh posted at the same time as your reply.

Frank, if you want, I'll take you out for a quick blast at Stanford Hall so you can savour the symphony at first hand!

 

[Parisien]

Great Benny......there will be a selection of exhaust types there on the day......was in Matts and Loz's fully Larinied GS's......awesome!


P

 

[BennyD]

Agreed P, but I don't think you get the full effect in the coupe. You need to lose the roof to appreciate it to the full.

 

[Parisien]

...well lets say both windows were down........and Matt gave her the FULL beanz on the slip road onto the autoroute.........the locals were scared to death.......40-100 in a few secs.....like a Harrier taking off the Ark Royal!!!

Thanks for that YHTM......will await pics....... any resonance or other probs?

[2b1ask1]

YHTM; That's the sort of money I would expect to pay for no boxes, very reasonable and great looking pipes... Working in Peckam Rye a couple of days every week I can drop down for a chat with him. Did you let him know about the forum?

Also YTHM, did he template them/measurements and all that...all in stainless ...?.......if he did might get them sent over rather than go to London next month!

Hi guys,

I didn't get a chance to make templates and I don't usually do as to get it to sit perfect I really do need to have the car at the workshop.

it's all done and tig welded in 304ss.

 

[Parisien]

Hi Solid Fab.....nice to see you on the forum, thanks for the point of information.

[2b1ask1]

Hi Solid Fab; do you have ramp facility at your place & have you had a look at what can be done with the restriction under the crossmember?

As I said earlie, I'm only in Peckham Rye so I can drop down with mine sometime for you to have a look at.

Cheers.
