Hopefully this will be a useful comparison for those thinking of going down the QS route.

Two videos, same IPhone.

 

 

Both outdone by a Corsa(?)

Good videos @Flytvr, I certainly wouldn’t go back to the stock exhaust .  The Quicksilver exhaust is fantastic as gets lots of very positive comments 👍

Nah those carbons are becoming bit common 😆😉

How funny - what were the odds of that I wonder!! Only ever seen an RCF on the road on my way home from Goodwood where I’m sure the odds are much higher.

Sorry for the delayed response.  Might have to change in that case @Big Rat.  I also know and have used the garage.  It’s just a matter of time before we all turn up together 😀

Sure does...

Great picture.  Car looks awesome 😎 

We have a Mini Cooper S which is good fun, and a Ford Grand C-Max which is no fun but a great family truck.  This is the only photo I could find 🤔

Looks fab guys, a great idea 👍

Ouch. £1,200. With Admiral. The others couldn’t take the policy as I’m fresh out of a company car scheme, etc. Next year I’ll be able to get it down. But just gotta pay it this year and hope it comes down a bit in future years. 

Ouch, fingers crossed it’s will come down next year 👍

Not sure about the wheels, like the sat nav screen though 👌

A really good review that one.  All topics well covered👍

Adrian Flux for me, just under £700 without tracker, best other price was in excess of £1500 with a tracker 😳

Rare for me

I just spent an hour on the wheels today. They are such a task that I like to do it separate from the main wash. Toothbrush is just the job. Very safe and gets in the tight corners.

I did a full swissvax on mine when I first had the car including the wheels.  Has made a big difference to cleaning the wheels as break dust washes off so much easier 👍

After a nice run in the sun today 😀

No such thing as perfection, I want quality safe in the knowledge that someone has done a decent amount of R&D and testing and subsequently produces a quality product that does  MOST of what I want.

And in my Quicksilver believe I have that, and with a bit of Rat negotiations I thought £1690.00 all in was a fair price.

🐀

Agree @Big Rat

Good work Sean.  Had a quick run last night up to Castle Combe in mine.  Love the sound especially with the roof and windows open, gear changes are great.  Roll on the warmer weather 

Very nice.  Enjoy 😀

@Jon_B We've been over there before the Welsh Road Guru better known as @Flytvr will be along in a moment to identify, I was sent on my way so they could see how long they could still hear the Quicksilver it was still audible at 2 miles....... here's a picture a while back when we were different car lineup..........

Big Rat

Excellent.  Amazing road, looks great fun 😀

That looks amazing guys.  Where is that road?

@Mike Peter Hi Mike congrats on the purchase, the two systems are not interchangeable parts wise I'm guessing you've got the axle back system which is NOT switchable on cold start up is loud but settles quite quickly. If you want to tone it down immediately just put the car into drive and move off immediately.

It really is a fantastic bit of kit just done 500 or so miles in mine in the last 3 days it really is epic.

The full switchable system depicted is the thick end of £5K when you add vat.

Big Rat

Agree with @Big Rat, I start up and if it’s early or I’m minded about the noise, I put the car straight in to drive and the sound becomes a deep rumble.  It’s a fantastic exhaust, I certainly wouldnt go back to the OEM.  Lots of great comments the weekend when driving 😀

@Stuno1 Stuart no it's an axle back system no valves, I know it sounds difficult to believe but there is no drone or unwanted intrusion at any cruising speed and all the attributes we want when we want to 'play '.

It really has to be experienced to believe how good it is

Big Rat 

I agree, the car sounds stunning.  So glad i did it

@Stuno1 The website depicts both the valved and non valved cat back system, the valved is still available to order

I would say from the outset that Quicksilver have been fabulous to deal with and the quality of the product has to be seen to be believed with really helpful advice and IMO they have achieved the impossible in a non valved system. 

Its just a deep offbeat burble when just driving moderately  and in in stop start traffic, the burble increases with throttle increased, accelerating hard is nothing short of earth shattering I'd defy anyone to come up with something better and no drone at motorway speeds nothing at all.

@Comedian Sean will be doing a proper thread and video about the days  fitting 3 sets to our cars when he and @Jon B get home.

Id like to say a big thankyou to Lexus Cheltenham for all there help today I think they enjoyed it all as much as us.

Big Rat

Completely agree with you @Big Rat.  Lexus Cheltenham went out of their way to help us today, fantastic service and fantastic people.  The exhaust is also incredible.  Nice when just cruising along but touch the throttle and woooooohoooo :-)

@Stuno1 They are rare on the road  and does got a lot of attention but in a positive pleasant way.

Just IMO needs the exhaust to stamp its presence audibly as visually it’s already there.

Big Rat

Agreed on both counts.  Looking forward to having a bit more rumble :-)

Ah ok. Makes sense given how well received it was. So maybe from a financial stance the isf is the better bet.

 

ill be keepin an eye on both over the next 12 months. 

I guess as you say, watch this space over the next year and see.  Having been looking for an RCF since last summer and just traded in the ISF against one just over a month ago, I would say that some RCF's are arriving at dealers and selling almost instantly, very true of the blues but then I am biased :-)  Others are staying which I think is largely down to spec and colour choice (obvious thing to say maybe).  

Stuart, I had a discussion with somebody from Lexus sales last week that implied that at the moment they are seeing ISF prices (granted condition, colour, mileage etc all a big part) rising by about £500 a year.  Seems this gap tool they use has a 18 month look ahead on it so when they take a car in they have a view for the future.  Don't know about the RCF price wise, but I do know that I love it.  What a car :-)

Their best technician was poached by Cheltenham 

I always felt Swindon were a little lacking experience in the F department.

@Flytvr I guess it’s early days but so far sales have been very obliging.
