    It may be out there somewhere already, but has anyone heard the difference in person between a US 8th gen 14'/15' exhaust, and a newer UK 2017+ exhaust. The newer ones are still quite bulky, but I do like the lines on it versus the plain ol' round can found on our US versions. I'm wondering if the two exits on the end of the 17+ can sound any better, less restricted, or different at all. In the meantime, check out this drawing I did of the 14' model when it came out!

    They sound near enough the same.

    compare part no’s would be your best bet for down pipes I think they are the same.

    I agree, the US can looks better. I suspect European emission regs may have played a factor in its re-design for overseas markets.

    The “new”can is the second incarnation of the vfr ,everyone got the same first type, you didn’t get the following version. No emission changes
