@Fensport sell the TRD style wing for £120 here. I think they'd make a killing if they would sell those painted for around £200. Missing a trick I would suggest

I usually find a brick wall does a decent job, and a fraction of the price.

Have you driven the Z4? It was one of a fair few cars I looked at before the GT. Engine is pretty sweet, and the white leather interior is nice, but the standard interior on the car I drove was very bland, and I thought it drove quite poorly as well. The ride was stiff, but it rolled through the corners, a strange combination. Either way, would be a shame to see you go.

I would also take some, but obviously in red, depending on price.

New tyres (might try Michelin PS4's in 235/40, see what grip level is like) Rear LCA's so I don't wear the inside edge of new tyres in a month New rear spoiler (possibly TRD, possibly ABFlug, possibly Sard LSR) Fit Intec 3rd brake light KSport 356mm BBK That's the obvious stuff that will get done as and when funds allow. Following that, some further saving required for: New clutch OR Stage 2 turbo kit (when Mike finalises the kit) with included clutch Decide on new colour for when the car gets wrapped (Satin green a la Mercedes AMG GTR currently tops the list) I'd like to think the top list will all be done by start of Spring (or end of March at least), but a possible house purchase might slow that down. Whole list hopefully be completed by Summer.

Well, the thread is about the volume of exhausts. I think many people would be surprised to hear that an unsilenced, uncatted exhaust system on a turbo car is perfectly livable, whereas a supercharged car may require a lot of extra silencing. I saw that more as useful consumer advice than point scoring. I'm not that much of a dick that I'll find any opportunity to belittle your opinion or choice, just trying to make a useful contribution

Listen, I'm all for a good debate as much as you are, but I mentioned turbo vs supercharger here not to have a debate, but because you've gone to great lengths and expense to expose an obvious point of consideration for future owners. Your research will potentially save people money in the future who can't decide between turbo/supercharger, but want a quiet exhaust. I just wanted to point that out, as you've provided a good service here. The point scoring was unnecessary, and that's why it went unneccesarily off topic. Back on topic, like Jeff mentioned, it would be interesting to see if you can get the system weighed, as I'm sure that might be a concern to others looking for a similar setup.

All I did was mention how interesting it was that this much work is required to quieten a supercharger setup, complicated compared to turbo setups. That's useful information for prospective buyers. I didn't feel the need to mention the advantages of my choice of setup, because this is a thread about exhausts, but I'm not gonna let false information go unanswered

Where's the debate? I'm just setting the record straight. We can't be putting out false information about things of which we are blissfully unaware.

Surely you've driven a TD turbo car by now? In which case, you would know those features are not exclusive to supercharging.

Seems like good work and good research done. Funny enough, my car is almost silent with no cats and no silencers. My exhaust guy fitted his own design backbox to quieten mine down, and of course the turbo helps quieten it even more. Without the screamer pipe I wouldn't be surprised if it's quieter than stock. Interesting consideration for people stuck between supercharging and turbocharging. The lengths at which you have to go to achieve what you can get for free in a turbo setup.

Yeah that's the one. I do prefer the TRD, but the AB is a little more rare, so I kinda fancied it.

I've been looking for some time too. It's one of the only boot spoilers that looks good and covers all the holes. Only other one is that one with the two arms that stretch down the bootlid, which I also like, but could never find a good deal on. Interested in the responses here.

Bigger wheels and brakes. Two for one

Only other colour I can use is blue, as the intercooler piping is blue, but if I do that I'll have to change wheel nuts and all sorts of other things to blue as well. Aesthetics Paul. Think of the children.

I hope they're black. If I pretend I'm an adult for a second, I really can't afford it this month, but if they're red I'd probably forget I'm an adult...

Red calipers?

Thanks Mike. Need to talk to you again soon. KSport front brakes, transmission/clutch springs and perhaps one or two other things. I trust my 50% discount is still valid. Oh....oops. You said not to mention that so people don't get jealous. Sorry. I'm poor, please send help.

I wanted to go down the harness bar route, but the options around were all so expensive. The Schroth Rallye 3's were the best choice for me at the time, as per @Tareim's picture. They work well

Thanks mate Always good catching up with you both. Look forward to the next time.

Been editing the post for a while, video is live, but link may be wrong. 1 sec.

Short video taken today by @Jared or his missus. Finally made me realise how mental the screamer pipe actually is. Thought it might be of some interest to others

Yep, absolutely right. Mine was running with that map for probably 6 months, and I used the map a fair bit as it was great for being antisocial. I'm sure the cat was screwed after that.

Duplicate post, but I'll make use of it. Of course, the car failed MOT on emmissions, in case I wasn't clear.
