Sports Exhaust..

Ok, what does this accessory give me?
Better Sound?
More Power?
Anything else?

Worth £450?
Anyone seen reviews of the effect of this?

In addition, for a laugh, I priced up putting all accessoris of the UK pricelist (not having combinations that are not allowed) and came to a humerous;

£9056!!!!!

Do you get the impression that mazda have just realised that they have underpriced the 8 by about £3000 and are trying to claw some money back through accessories?

My dealer told me the sports exhaust was just literally different tailpipes (s/steel covers?). In other words it was more cosmetic than performance related.

Of course my local dealer hasn't seen got a car or the exhaust so they might be wrong. For £450 you'd certainly expect more than shiny exhaust tips.

The brochure pic just shows shiny tips - but the standard ones are reasonably shiny - I think you can by max power shiny tips in halfords for 100 quid! 450 quid for a better sound and half a dozen gee-gees might be worth it, but not shiny tips!

Agree entirely Edo. If I spent £450 on a new TT exhaust it would be a full system which would liberate more gee gee.

What are you doing with your TT? My dealer offered me a crap trade, so have sold it privately...

I haven't done anything with my TT yet. Based on what Audi dealers are prepared to offer (or most dealers for that matter) I will probably sell it privately.

Interesting that there are several TT owners on here thinking of making the swap to an RX-8.

Chuck it on the TT forum - that is how I sold mine.
Also Pistonheads is free, and I sold a car before on Autotrader (only £5 online).

What is the spec/ag etc?

It is a 225 Roadster in silver with bose, 6cd, comps, cupholders, leather etc. Have done quite high miles but the great thing is TT residuals seem strong regardless of miles.

If you have sold your TT, maybe you should change your sig. ?
