Differences Between Lotus Exhausts From Janspeed
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
The Janspeed Supersport silencer for the MK1 Lotus Elise is designed to reduce weight and backpressure leading to increased power and stunning sound quality. This Supersport design was originally manufacturered for Lotus car in mild steel, Each Supersport silencer is now manufacturered by hand in high grade (304) Stainless Steel and comes with the market leading lifetime guarantee.
