Installed our new cobra non resonated exhaust today and its great!

As our pipe had split it had to go as the noise was unbearable. Then the cobra arrived, loads lighter, sounding nice in idle and amazing at high revs!

Didn't notice a cabin drone, but the roadster's stock exhaust sounded so bad anything was gonna be better in the cabin!

Was a pretty easy fit too.... Only took a couple of hours.

Will post pics and a proper review on the appropriate place but def not disappointed!

I got one of these too.... Top notch and FAR better than the standard halfords tat.

Welcome from Southampton!

BMW and other "high end" parts are apparently available from Octet

Good to know, as other car is a 330ci c!

Thanks. Our std one has just destroyed itself so in the market for a new one in the next week.

I might be up for one if these too as looking for a new rear and mid that's batter than an oem.

Well the problem has been diagnosed!

Any suggestions for a replacement mid and rear system? Want a nice sporty tone..... For around £600?

That'll be ours! Ashurst is on the daily commute and the Mrs waves at all zeds.... Only polite after all!

Glad to see they are still holding their value ! How many miles has it done ? , mines on 38k

Same place sold us our 05 roadster with 38,000 for £5050 less £1500 for our MR2 roadster.

Must've been a lucky day for us, or a new salesman for them!?!

Welcome fellow sotonian! And that's the same Chi garage we bought our roadster from!

Intriguing indeed....

Let me know if you wanna go standard, as we're looking to go stainless and louder! .....

Kwik fit said it needed new mid and rear sections, but halfords put it on ramp and showed us a relatively new mid section! Removed the heat shield (what's it for anyway??) and it's a little better, still slight buzz when dropping revs though....

our roadster is in totton and we never get spotted either! Haha

I don't think it is the rear heat shield as it seems tight and putting pressure on it doesn't change the noise. It seems to be coming from the rear box more than the shield.

Love the Avante Garde range of wheels !!

 

510's are my favourite, I would be willing to bet a tenner no-one on here has the 550's fitted.

 

I can source these for you but if you want pics on a zed I would suggest google images

How much could you source them for?

Here is a video of the annoying buzz!

…and if it is a loose baffle, is it possible to "tighten it" again, or fix it?

Thanks,

Will post a short video of it when I get home.....

Here's a good one.....

Noticed it with the top down, but having now listened to it close up, it seems that something inside my exhaust buzzes when you rev it..... Sounds odd but I can't describe it any better really!?!

It sounds like its coming from in the exhaust pipe itself. Any ideas what it could be?

Hi, am looking at getting 19s on the roadster and have seen these Avant Garde M550s which look ace!

Anyone got them on their zed and if so, what tyres are they wearing?

Thanks,

Nick

Thanks folks!

Hi,

Anyone know what this rear spoiler is?

I want it for my roadster as I thinks it looks top notch, but unfortunately the owner of his beauty (Amyzed) doesn't know the make as the person she bought it from had it on their car prior to import!

Cheers in advance,

Nick

Gotta love a nice roadster . - have voted.... Still 1st!!

Was a great day!

Cheers everyone! V6 has been purchased
