Looking great mate! Bet that sounds awesome!

Just to clarify then you have no back box either just straight pipes from the cat? or between the cat and a different back box with the twin pipes removing the middle muffler?

Any parts recommendation on where to get them from, or make on what you used?

Yes no back box, no centre box, straight pipes out and tips fitted, a good exhaust shop will fabricate one. Exhaust valve tube is blocked and tied up out of the way, valve button never used, must get a video done now some day. Haven't heard anything better

Looks great!, I did similar years ago to an old Triumph

Unfortunately now pretty sure if that were in the UK then it should be an MOT fail (Major) under 8.1.1 Noise suppression systems, although it is at the discretion of the tester as being unreasonable (assuming it doesn't fail on a missing silencer).

8.1.1. Noise suppression system
You must inspect:

exhaust silencers
Exhaust noise from the vehicle must not be unreasonably above the noise level you’d expect from a similar vehicle with a standard silencer in average condition.

Defect Category
(a) Exhaust noise levels in excess of those permitted Major

Thanks guys - Yeah that's what I was thinking! Don't want it to fail the MOT so will do a bit of research to see what we can get away with here!

You totally should do a video, would love to hear it!

Sounds like a popcorn machine!!
Throaty is OK, but do you really like it to pop. pop,pop, non-stop??
If my motorcycle did that, I would need to get it tuned - running too rich - too much unburned fuel.

I made the switch to Ragazzon.
I had to wait 1 month (which normally takes 1 week) to receive this item. Longer than expected, but I can finally enjoy the sound.
The quality is really good, however when assembling the exhaust under the car I noticed the 'connecting Y-pipe' doesn't match the connecting tubes of the muffler (
1,5cm difference in width. Strange if the exhaust is tested for quality control at the factory.. This was probably a one time problem and just bad luck (others have reported the parts connected just fine)
I really didn't want to wait any longer so I tried to modify the tubes myself. The material is so strong and bending the pipes of the muffler was no option.
Eventually I could bend the connecting Y-pipe and now the pieces fit together.
It's solved now, but of course this is not how it should be, especially for an expensive item like this..
I contacted the factory about this problem and got a response, without any compassion or help..., that I should contact the dealer about this problem and not the factory.
Strange, because the factory sends immediately the package to my address and they are the one producing it. The dealer also didn't do anything about this problem.
After finally fitting the exhaust to my car I could finally hear the difference.

The exhaust has a great sound and really is a big difference. (even when comparing it to my standard exhaust configuration without centre resonator)
The sound is beautiful and has more of a deep rumble and a lot more pops.
You can notice the pops a lot more when lifting your foot off the gas (and do just a small tap) during driving.
It's definitely louder, which you can hear in the inside and definitely notice on the outside. It won't be as loud as completely straight piped, but for me this is more than good enough.
In my opinion it doesn't sound like a 4 cylinder anymore. Ok, it doesn't have the sound like the V6 or V8, but you can't expect to sound it like that.
I'm happy with the result, before buying I found it a bit expensive but in the end, in my opinion it's worth it.

Below, you can see a short clip with the Ragazzon.
In real life it sounds a lot better and louder, but difficult to capture with a phone microphone.
I will try to make another video shortly if I get my hands on an external microphone.

Yeah does look great mate. I agree for the money they charge for these custom Exhausts you really would expect it to fit properly.

I was looking between Supersprint and this one so good to know it's made a difference and you're happy with it if I decide to go this route!

If you get time for a video at somepoint would love to hear what it sounds like!

I'm here in the states....

she was sitting on the front line of a local dealers lot.

stopped by out of curiosity - salesman threw me the keys............

............UH OH ! !

She was a low mileage, V6 340 2018 model.

and I was hooked

Then drove a (supposed) 2015 380 HP "S" model and was NOT impressed

Then drove a 2021 P300 model with 19,000 on the clock - really didn't expect anything out of this setup

HOLY POWER SURPRISE, BATMAN..... I gotta say I was SURPRISED, SHOCKED AND IMPRESSED with the power and handling!!!

Impressed to the point where the hunt was on for a well-optioned, low mileage 2021+ P300 model.

I was told by the selling dealer that the 2018 V6 had a modified exhaust - it sounded (and drove) far better than the 2015 380 hp V6

While the 4 cylinder Turbo P300 has a decent rumble when pushed, I do miss the sound of my Mustang 5.0 liter where I replaced the mufflers with those from the Shelby V8.

Nice rumble, rich sound at idle, loud under serious throttle, BUT ZERO DRONE WHATSOEVER.

Seriously, no drone, nothing, NADA !

Exhaust upgrade options for the P300 are limited to SUPERSPRINT, QUICKSILVER and RAGAZZON, all of which claim (of course) no drone.

On-line research shows some mixed reviews on the Supersprint.

Unlike buying a pizza, (if it tastes bad, you throw it away and get something else next time) this is a higher ticket item that the buyer should be satisfied with and to complicate things, the SOUND is highly subjective, based on individual tastes and opinions.

I don't mind spending this kind of coin on this kind of car, and actually, really WANT TO, however IT NEEDS TO SOUND RIGHT FOR MY OWN NEEDS as once whichever trigger is pulled, I'LL OWN IT !

Some of these systems appear to be plug and play while others require additional apps to control the valving.

I can't imagine an 8-10 hour trip with an overwhelming, droning exhaust

The factory exhaust does sound good in Sport Mode, and there's no drone on the highway. Maybe JLR created the best of both worlds as they had far more development resources to product this product.

One recent

Maybe I should just stay with what I know and keep what I have.

The reality is, she's never going to sound like that 2018 V6 I drove, or a V8.

That said, I'd really like to see if I can improve what I have, but that marriage will require more information / sound clips.

Member Strilingsilver here speaks very highly of this product, and took the time to pose an audio/video clip from his driveway, however with all due respect I'd like to hear some on highway sounds or hear more opinions before getting hitched up with any of these products.

Any sharing of information on the P300 specifically will be appreciated.

BEST !
