Hi Zince,

Will take some more photos & post 👍

Fuel consumption has been between 17mpg booting it to work in the morning & 25mpg driving to our house in the Cotswolds - 40 miles each way

The exhaust sound is that of a 5litre Range Rover rather than that of the RRS SVR both the same engine.

Initially I was probably disappointed by the exhaust sound but I think now I appreciate it for what it is.

It is a very very good car, but if I’m honest I had a P300HSe for six months that I sold to buy this, that was a £60k car I’m not sure this is worth a £47k premium in what you get for your money, however a big however defender V8’s hold their money better than most defenders, it puts a smile on my face every time I turn the key - that whilst worth nothing is also priceless 😊.

Hope you get a date soon 👍

Get yourself on your back and get under the cars exhaust, there is a plug on each exhaust, unplug them but put them back in the socket but dont put them in fully, its just to keep them dry, it opens the exhaust vales all the time , thank me later

Can’t say I notice a difference - which is why I’m going for a Milltek system.
At a minimum, nuking the front 2 silencers has to be an improvement right?

If it's the same setup as the L494/L405, there's no need to splash megabucks on an expensive exhaust system when you can get your local exhaust shop to replace the resonator & centre silencer boxes with straight or X/H-pipes.  --
