QuickSilver¡¯s Lotus Elise 111R / Exige 2 ¡®Titanium¡¯ Sports exhaust system

QuickSilver¡¯s new ¡®Titanium¡¯ exhaust system for the Lotus Elise 111R /
Exige 2 offers all the benefits of a Titanium exhaust system that were
previously reserved only for the top levels of Motorsport where cost was
secondary to the pursuit of minimum weight and maximum performance.  

 

QuickSilver¡¯s newest design brings the benefits of Titanium¡¯s lighter
weight, durability and appearance to Elise & Exige owners who demand the
finest components. In addition, the system allows the speed and volume of
the exhaust gas flow to be increased, producing a noticeable improvement in
throttle response.  This is the ultimate choice in sports exhaust for this
vehicle. 

 

Key features include:

 

*       Unique crisp sound rising in proportion with rpm 

*       Dyno tests show a 6bhp improvement, more torque and better throttle
response

*       Huge weight reduction from rear of car - 60% lighter than stock -
To benefit all areas of performance

*       The standard factory system¡¯s volume increases to 94dB and, even
though the tone changes, the volume remains constant.  

*       The QS Ti system is designed to meet the standard MSA scrutineering
test at 6125rpm which is 75% of max rpm - taken 1m @ 45¢ª

*       The volume of the QS Ti system continues to rise towards 100dB at
maximum rpm after the VVT operates at 6200rpm

*       Great appearance.  All polished with larger trims   

*       Accelerated gas-flow draws heat away more efficiently to reduce
engine-bay temperatures 

*       Ultra-lightweight Titanium silencer casing with aircraft grade 304
austenitic stainless tube & tips bonded through intricate welding and
riveting

*       No cutting the undertray - Tail-pipes fit flush with the undertray
