Removed from my 2001 Lotus Esprit V8 after approximately 2 weeks of use.
This is the highly regarded PUK stainless steel “fast road” performance exhaust system for the Lotus Esprit V8 (cats-back configuration), featuring premium construction and a refined parallel-flow design.
The system has also been professionally converted to a true bolt-on setup, making installation significantly easier compared to standard systems — no cutting or fabrication required.
Condition is essentially like new. Only removed because I decided to move to a much louder custom straight-pipe setup.
Features:
- Stainless Steel “fast road” sports exhaust system
- Parallel gas-flow layout (no crossover)
- Mandrel-bent pipework for consistent flow
- Aircraft-grade T304 stainless steel construction
- 100% TIG welded
- Improved throttle response and low/mid-range torque
- Approx. +10 bhp claimed by manufacturer
- Reduced engine bay temperatures from improved flow efficiency
- Refined “sports racer” tone under acceleration
- No drone, boom, resonance, or vibration
- Precision engineered fitment
This exhaust is ideal for someone wanting:
- A refined exotic tone
- Improved flow and response
- High-quality stainless construction
- A performance upgrade that remains comfortable for street driving
Again, the only reason for removal was personal preference — I wanted something significantly louder and more aggressive.
Ready to install and difficult to find in this condition without UK wait times or import costs.
