and standard scoobs can't.
Do they deliver the cars with exhausts in the back and you fit them yourselves, or do they have some clever ECU trick?

One passed me the other day and I couldn't tell it was started next to my scoobysport bb . Must have been the factory fit job.
The factory ones are quiet but most TVR's sold have the sports exhaust added after build, hence getting away with the regs as said above........

A lot of it is actually down to the intake system as well, because they have an individual throttle on each cylinder, & f**k all air filtration the induction makes a hell of a noise when the taps are opened. You get a similar sort of thing, only less pronounced, on BMW MSport cars. Most of it is still down to having drainpipes where the exhausts should be though
Anyway, what does it matter how they get away with it, as long as they can continue to do so

I live next door to a TVR garage (woken up every sunday morning by them being test driven), I think the sound is gorgeous (well the cerberas & Speeds. The sound isn't loud, its just very low. Thats why they have the perception of being loud.
