k20Rob Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Copied from Seloc, 105db days are still quite hard to come by here, they should have made it quieter in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoflOnMyWaffle Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 I'll gladly swap my entire stock 350 sport system for a louder one if anyone wants to go on track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vd9 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Are they now selling Sport 350 exhaust to the owners of Sport/Cup 380, Sport 410, Cup 430 for additional £2,200? Brilliant move 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmahope Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 This is genius! My stock 350 Sport system is about to come off to be replaced with a 2bular track system. If anyone wants the stock system, give me a shout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will give you 1.9k for it 😂 seriously though , would love to hear your feedback on the 2bular once it’s fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For you @Edinburgh 111s, I'd let it go for £1.8k... The 2bular track silencer (non-valve) is on already. It fitted perfectly and looks great. Sound is very nice indeed. Slightly deeper than standard I would say, not louder. Doesn't drone at all. Will be interested to see what it's like once the full system is on, but that won't be for a little while because (a) I need to figure out how to get it fitted with or without remap (see separate thread on this), and (b) the manifolds and downpipe are off to Zircotec for some lovely white coating...

alias23 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Just browsing the KT site (as you do..) and found KT have just released a quiet exhaust! Thought it may be of interest to folks as it seems to have testing/measurement, available in days vs months, and also has a small weight saving https://www.komo-tec.com/en/lotus-exige/mk3-toyota-v6350380/exhaust/642/lotus-track-endschalldaempfer-quiet?c=495 Quote www.alias23.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seriouslylotus Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Release by lotus a few days ago Ordered one for my 3leven. Which looks identical apart from the new one has an additional internal baffle weld in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k20Rob Posted May 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 The initial screen grab said it would be suitable for most 105db days, perhaps they were playing it safe with the wording then, as it looks like it will be fine and very quiet from the KT site! Dave, could you post a few videos up when you get yours on? Any idea on what the wait is going to be for yours?

Bravo73 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Yep, this is the text from the email that Hoffman’s sent out: Please see below typical results achieved during test. Please Note: The track exhaust should in most cases be suitable to use on UK circuits which have a static noise regulation of 105 dB(A) and a dynamic noise regulation of 92 dB(A). Silencer dB(A) levels can also vary depending on how they are used and bed in from new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alias23 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I always look to Castle Combe and Donington as two benchmarks. CC is 110db static and 87db drive by. Donny is 98db drive by... so all looks pretty good for the Lotus exhaust it would seem Shame they retained the pig snout!

Martrack Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 So, has anyone tested this Lotus track exhaust ? Reference is A138S0100S, legend 1b on attached picture (1a is stock exhaust). Price seems to be around £1800. Would be nice to have a video such as the one @JayEmm did here, comparing this track exhaust to the stock / titanium ones. In addition to being track friendly, we would then be able to know how much it is enjoyable on the road compared to the 2 other exhausts. In other words, if it is fun enough to keep it mounted definitely. Or if we should swap the exhaust only when needed, so only for trackdays with drastic noise limitations. Don't know though how much difficult it is to swap exhaust on an Exige (in his own garage, or even on the pitlane ?!!) Many thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huage-f1 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Is the "official" Lotus Track Exhaust still available (whether from Hoffmans or anyone else)? https://mailchi.mp/80360bea9100/lotus-track-exhaust?e=ecd32a0ebd Is it the same as the products offered by Seriously Lotus and Komotec: https://www.seriouslylotus.com/lotus-quiet-track-silencer-400-series-cars https://www.komo-tec.com/en/lotus-exige/mk3-toyota-v6350380/exhaust/642/lotus-track-exhaust-v6-quiet?c=884 What are people's experiences of this exhaust as compared to the 2Bular offering: https://www.2bular.co.uk/exige-380/qp-track-system I am looking to purchase an Exige 430/410 for UK trackday use, so understand I will need to purchase one of these products, and would appreciate whatever advice anyone is happy to offer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to get hold a Lotus silent exhaust from Komo-tec after some NI number requirement hassle😄 Well, pending the delivery anyway. I hope to make a decent write up in differences between the Exige 430 oem exhaust and the lotus silent exhaust, with dB differences on fitment vs after its bedded in Should be arriving 31st May/1st June if all goes to plan🤞 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 I did all this research last year for my Cup430. Went for the Tubular Quiet system with rear cans. Then simple swap out of back box when not tracking it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
