Hi guys,
I have a 2005 Elise which is mostly stock, no fancy upgrades. I have a decat pipe with a Lotus Stage 2 muffler (built by Janspeed). I really love the sound of it, but after a couple track days the muffler is completely blown out, and the drone is absolutely unbearable. Does anyone have any suggestions for a muffler that will hold up to track days, exits through the diffuser (I don't like the look of the rear panel exit ones) that does not drone so badly? I am going to try putting my catalytic converter back in since I understand it doesn't really gain me anything having it out. It sounds AWESOME but performance wise, it is sort of a wash. I put a coat of second skin damplifyer on the doors, firewall, floors, etc. It helped the road noise, injector clicking, clutch rattle, etc. But the drone is SO BAD it was basically a waste of time
I don't even care how loud the exhaust is, I just can't handle the drone.
Thanks in advance,
Keith
