As I understand it, the Stage 2 exhaust exits from a single pipe. However, the rear diffuser is cut out for the dual pipes. Does anyone know if the Stage 2 is big enough that the entire area can be cut out for one big hole? Otherwise i think it will look kind of stupid to have a single pipe coming out of two holes. Anyone have pictures of a Stage 2 on the car? Here is the Stage 1 on the CO car so you can see what i mean.
Chris said when he saw the stage 2 that the diffuser would need to be cut to accomodate the stage 2. I believe that there are two "nipples" in the diffuser opening that would need to be trimmed out to make it fit.
Word from Barber is that it's quite a bit louder than the stage 1. There is a video of the CO Elise w/ the Stage 1 coming down the straight at Barber where you can compare it to the standard cars. Stage 2 is kinda fugly, but I might get it for the Harley safety effect since I'm going w/ Grey.
What JD says is correct. The diffuser does not have two holes for the factory exhaust but one big oblosng hole with a nipple(?) on each end. These would have to be trimmed to make sort of an oblong hole.

So I am new to the forum, and new to the world of Lotus. I just purchased a 2005 Lotus Elise the was destroyed in a garage fire. My original thought was to try to strip the frame and cage the vehicle and start rebuilding using used Toyota parts. Upon picking the car up, I no longer think...
i just picked up a salvage elise and have been trying to get it to start in the few weeks i’ve had it while i gather the parts to fix it.
the car didn’t come with a FOB only the key for the ignition so i started out with bypassing the immobilizer which got it to crank but the fuel pump still...
Hi,
I came a cross a used Evora 400 with under 10k miles. It's in a different state so I can't see it in person. The seller indicated the black grate right behind the window, has some paint that has come off. Attached is picture.
Is that a common issue? Is it easy to replace? I just find it...
