Differences Between Lotus Exhausts From PTP
Motorsport silencer supplied from 1996 – 2000
This was the very first aftermarket exhaust sold by lotus for the MK1 Elise as an O.E. upgrade, designed for the Sport 135 kit, the silencer could also be fitted to standard cars. This exhaust was manufacturered in mild steel and developed to be more about a loud sound instead of performance with the twin round tailpipes. We only recommend using this silencer up to approx 150ps as creating too much backpressure.
Supersport silencer supplied from 2000-2005
