Has anyone taken any audio of their L400 exhaust systems after modification? Straight pipe, cherry bomb muffler, etc.
It would be interesting to hear the difference between stock and mod.
I do have ulterior motives as I think I will do the change from stock in the future....

Pictures, as well as the part numbers, would be sweet too! Mark - that is a sweet looking and sounding rig. How much did all the exhaust trimmings cost you?

I'm not sure of the part number, but I did a couple of quick measurements and I think it is this one
http://www.2kracing.com/Product/7523.html. Seems like it is 80mm at the pipe and 200mm across.
Here are a couple photos of the filter and the plumbing. I didn't do any of this work. Everything came with the van. Hard pipes on intercooler, HKS filter, 2.5" SS exhaust, lift....etc. I have pretty much done nothing to this van. I hate to get a bill for all that work done here! One note on the air filter - it is quite noisy so if you like the quiet of the stock filter I'd not recommend this one. You basically hear the open end of the turbo...cool but load.

Note the ARB compressor hiding behind there...lots of room under there with this air filter and EGR gone.
