H&S (secondary cats delete)exhaust fitted to my ISF

F4Fun · June 13, 2022

Hi all,

Got my MY11 F back in July last year, I’ve enjoyed it completely stock and took it on a track day at Donington too. Love the induction noise but due to owning a 08 ISF before with a Hayward and Scott catback (no x pipe) I always felt I wanted that noise back, I missed it.
So after researching it I thought what the hell as it’s a weekend car and decided to go one step further this time and have the secondary cats deleted and replaced with the silencers, no x pipe. Also I liked the idea of the original system being left untouched and I could just refit it if I needed to.

First impressions, it’s naughty. Cruises at any set speed (motorway/town) with just a nice burble, no drone type noise that I can hear, but when you get on the revs my god it’s evil and really loud, the downshifts are just nasty too. The 9 months pregnant wife doesn’t think it’s too loud and my 23 month old boy loves it! So maybe I just need to adjust to it and man up lol

Here’s a few videos, listen for the blip on the drive past, I’ve also had the emissions checked too, no issues.

That sounds brilliant!! I’ve just ordered my RCF Hayward and Scott exhaust today, if it sounds half as good as this I will be pleased!

Sounds angry love it!

Are you going to get Db tested? I am going to shoot down to Brands Hatch next week to get MSVT to test my car with the Invidia on it. Rather than getting black flagged and wasting money spent, they said I can get tested at my local track and then know whether to book or not. Fingers crossed.

I don’t think i will as I’m pretty sure it won’t pass, it’s louder than the catback I had for sure, but I may get away with it at Anglesey.

Good move getting yours tested, it’s a lot of money to waste to get black flagged. You’ll have to tell me how you get on too.

BillNick · June 15, 2022

Of course, I will report back. Going Brands on Monday evening.

Fingers and toes crossed, but not hopeful.

Cheers mate, to be honest you and Ryo in that underground car park made sure I’d be getting one 😉

Ah I was there too. Ryo's sounded insane. I can't remember his exact setup, was it full Tom's exhaust including headers? It had lost the characteristic muscle car sound and just had a pure racecar scream.

Toms rear boxes and handmade titanium manifolds from a fellow Japanese friend (in his 70’s) so Ryo wanted them made before the fella gave it up

It's a black GSF with a few orange accents and some TOMS parts. I haven't seen much from him in terms of social media stuff, so not sure about videos. @Womble72 may know more.

Imagine a Ferrari revving its engine. That's what it sounded like. We were in an underground car park and it was definitely pretty loud, it set off a car alarm!
