What kind of exhaust is this ? The previous owner installed.

Looks like a Larini Sport to me too. Good exhaust.

Larini sports:

Larini Sports Exhaust System with Slash Tips for the Lotus Elise and Exige - Sector111

I have it on my car and I love the sound.
Looks like yours is the later version with the end pipes welded to the can.
The earlier ones used clamps (like sector111 still shows in their picture), but the clamps always used to come loose causing the end pipes to sag and rattle against the diffuser.
Many people including myself had to go find a place to weld the pipes in place in order to make them stay in position.

should be tagged some where on the muffler.

should be tagged some where on the muffler.

The Larini doesn't have any kind of tag or marking on it.

How does it compare to the factory exhaust in terms of db level?

 

[LotusManDan]

It sounds awesome I knew it wasn't factory just had never had the skin off till now

 

[JWA]

That's one of the best balances of ripping when opened up and low drone levels when cruising. Still some drone, but not terrible like a Stage II.

My wife hates it on interstate...any one decat one of these systems? I was thinking about it.

 

[JWA]

That'll ensure that she hates it around town as well .

De-cat really wakes up the exhaust. I put the cat back in one time, and I couldn't believe how much quieter it was!

I had that system de-catted for about a month and put the cat back in as it was too loud even for me.. Still sounded good but just too loud for my taste.
