Stainless Exhaust System for V6 S-Type - experiences, recommendations?

[LairdScooby]

Hi All,

as per the title, i'm looking at getting a stainless exhaust for my 3.0 S-Type but as you can imagine, internet searches return a maze of possible solutions from all-out race exhausts to those that are standard replacements but seem too cheap.

Has anyone had a stainless exhaust built/fitted, found one "off the shelf" or similar and can give some recommendations/experiences so i have a few starting points for further investigation please?

Looking to retain the quietness but with a slightly sporty, deeper note - nothing wild or "boy racer". I did find one on YouTube that seemed to meet what i was looking for but the maker of the system and/or the builder/fitter seems nowhere to be found.

I'm not in a hurry to do this, probably about 6-9 months time (when spring/summer is here again) as the more time i have to investigate, the more chance i have of getting what i want at the price that i want to pay.

Thanks in advance!

Adamesh are probably your best best. I’ve secured a pair for mine but not fitted yet

Thanks, that was one of the options i preferred during my initial searching, seems they only do the back boxes though?

Really looking to get a complete cat-back system (although as it's converted to LPG i'm tempted to get a decat system) for longevity although the back boxes would be a good start. 😉 😄

Holy thread resurrection Batman!

A year on, i finally got the Adamesh rer silencers fitted today! Ordered them back in May, arrived in June 😮 and life has got in the way of living since!

Went to fit them last week only to discover they'd sent a pair of S Type R rear silencers! All fairness to Adamesh, they sent a replacement pair out and have arranged to collect the wrong pair.

I need to fabricate a new bracket for the NS hanger (that will be another thread though) but the (correct) silencers fitted easily and sound great - exactly what i was after in fact! Nice burble on idle, slight rasp with a louder growl on acceleration and just as quiet cruising. That said my test drive didn't really get up to real cruising speeds but knowing how it sounds at various speeds, fairly certain at cruising speeds it will be quiet still.

I now have a pair of standard rear silencers, free to a good home. They're 24 years old and still look like new amazingly!
