[Rovernet] 2000TC Exhaust, throttle, bonnet

[Robert Ruggeri]

Hi All:


  *   The shop outsourced the new muffler to a local shop.   It is extremely loud and sounds ridiculous.  I’ll go with a stock stainless system I can get from the UK (unless someone has one here in the US).  But before I go through all that, how quiet is a stainless exhaust on this car?  Anybody have a really quiet exhaust on their P6 and, if so, where’d they get it?



  *   The throttle takes several seconds to drop back down to idle.  Shop blamed the throttle set up, but what’s the solution?



  *   An earlier “repair” shop had wrecked my bonnet.   The new shop installed the wrong replacement it sourced from Florida so I sourced one (with two “bumps”) from someone here on the list.  I believe it’s the correct one.  See attached photo.
However, I also tossed out the stock black “egg crate” grill (which looks terrible) and replaced it with the earlier chrome one.  (Is that the one called “the sharktooth” one?).  Problem is that there is a bit of a gap between the bonnet and the grill.  Any ideas?

Thanks

Bob
