Was thinking of the UK exhaust mod also....I've heard them online and noticed the exhaust note changes depending on the size of tubing used. Is there any performance gain from the UK exhaust mod ? I have a PLM header (not installed yet) and want to order a Berk 70mm HFC.

It sounds very nice. No real performance gain, tho' my 'seat of the pants' dyno felt the throttle response being a bit crisper.
See attached photos for examples of how I do the mod

You can see pics of the CR mufflers in my old thread here:

OK, I had a look at the photo of the CR exhaust, and yes it can be done relatively easily.
BTW, the 'loops' on the AP1 exhaust are stainless steel. Unless you are running the S2K all year round, it will last for much longer than the rest of the car. The corrosion you see is not unusual for this type of stainless. That's why it's called stain 'less', it is not called stain 'free' steel.
We can chat on PM.
Cheers,

Cool, I will contact you by pm on this. I've seen a few ap1/ap2 exhausts perforate in the loops while the mufflers and mid-pipe were fine, so I thought those were common rust areas. Maybe they were winter driven or maybe moisture accumulates in the loops ?. Either way I've been really happy with the CR exhaust, a bit more sound of it is all I'm looking for.

I have not installed one, but someone else may have, dunno.
My car has the mod with the Cat installed.
Hope this helps.

Albert from Speedstar replied to me that they can still get the Legalis R exhaust if anyone is interested, pricing isn't too bad.
Performance data suggests 3ps power gain, no torque gains, peak numbers. Decibel numbers are similar to stock at low rpms and increasing at high rpms.
