im rooting for you VF Tuner!

definitely giving this thread a watch 👀

you are absolutely right, its hard to find a back to back video of 3rd cat delete + valve controller vs larini though. feels like I gotta take the leap or dont i havent even seen an emira irl that has the larini set up

do you think the sound is going to be noticeably different if I add a Larini on top of the 3rd cat delete + valve controller? its basically a (curvy) straight pipe already. I wonder how much different it could possibly make it. I dont know much about audio engineering. im not sure how much of a...

i have been pondering if I should buy Larini for a long time. currently i have 3rd cat delete- valve controller and it already sounds pretty great. i sure wish i could hear it in person

love the wing but the thought of cutting pieces of my car off scares me way too much to ever attempt

manual V8 lotus with OEM carbon and a facelift sounds pretty sweet. i may trade in when the time comes

Lotus had their claws in me since the reveal in 2021. I was pretty committed to buying it no matter what. Though im sure glad i opted for the first edition. my same spec now would be 115k vs 108k when i bought it

everyone ragging on the KEF and im over here thinking it sounds just fine. even good

I think the driving experience will blow you away. its on a whole different plan of existence from a tesla however if you get the v6, I think you may miss the instant torque because while I wouldnt call the Emira slow, its slower than any performance trim tesla in a straight line. on the other...

GRP pipe requires a new ring too dont forget. the others might too, cant say for sure but i would assume so https://www.gregsraceparts.com/collections/emira-products/products/lotus-emira-exhaust-ring-gasket

I did have push back. I got a check engine light 4 months after owning the car while I had the 3rd cat delete + valve controller. it ended up being a bad battery but I still had lots of back and forth with the dealer with them telling me i needed to revert it back to stock before they could...

it varies so much depending on the situation. before I installed the GRP intake (its very loud now, love it) the intake noise was drowned out by the exhaust noise most of the time. (3rd cat delete + valve controller) however if I floored it while in a high gear low rpm, i could hear it very...

the valve is near closed when going slowly with the stock controller. So the valve controller makes a huge difference in volume and character while going slowly. its also more oppressive in general. some might call it a drone. which i like but may get annoying to some. luckily you can close it...

I dont think revmonkey had race headers. he had larini + 3rd cat delete + maybe valve controller too I have 3rd cat delete + valve controller and I can promise you it already sounds pretty close to that vid. that 3rd cat delete makes a huge volume difference

@Nova has been keeping track. the table in his bio or chat history

no need to even use the remote. you can use the homelink under the mirror. also it stays in whatever mode you set last. i have mine open 100% all the time and havent touched it in months

congrats! good lookn car!

I was considering buying a motorcycle the past few months but reading up on statistics and how incredibly angry my mom was at me gave me pause. unlikely I will now

could be emission reasons

i can dig it. im not much of a big wang kinda guy but looks good

id imagine its because if you buy an emira in canada its your 2nd or 3rd car. since its not a daily no need for touring suspension

that looks like CT carbon

did you have any time with the car with the 3rd cat delete but BEFORE the Larini exhaust upgrade? im hoping you could describe the difference only the Larini part made im debating getting this and I already have the 3rd cat delete

check out my latest mods!

mine was also 10 miles. suspicious

I dont see any pics 👀

4 months 3700 miles! cold and rainy season started so sadly probably a lot less driving the next few months

I still havent seen another one here on the road in Austin TX. I know theres at least 3 others here based on PPF guy and dealership though.

yeah pretty high: $897 for part, $132 for shipping $36 to get past customs or something idk, UPS charged me again.

I added the JUBU fin extenders! I think this does a great job at being a embellishment of the existing body lines instead of being too extreme like many of the other options are. they are also one of the cheapest option (tho still not cheap)

is this from the guys at GRP? sadly its the same price as the carbon fiber options. I was really hoping for some options that were a fraction of the cost

the answer is it probably wont matter. if something horrible goes wrong Lotus will know you used sport or track mode, will it matter? probably not. will they refuse to honor the warranty? probably not. I honored the no track mode rule, but I used exclusively sport while I was under 1000 miles.

I did full car PPF and im happy with the results. however in retrospect i probably would have just done the front, thats the most important location. also the existence of PPF on the roof means I cant use a seasucker bike mount which is a shame. also dirt gets into the edges which might bother...
