- In this video, I fit a TopGear F1 Valved exhaust to the R8.
Technically, the car isn't actually getting expensive.. I just keep spunking money on it.. so.. actually, I guess it is.. but by my own doing 😄

Wow, after hearing that, I feel bad that I got the Armytrix Titanium valved exhaust... which was $8k+ It does sound amazing and I totally know how you feel about the change, just wish I would have saved $6k!
Thank you for showing and explaining to us how to go about fault finding and fixing the issues you come across. Great work young man! 😊
Having mine installed this week on my Gen 1 R8 V8. Can’t wait to hear what it sounds like!
Great vid..thanks...well that's finally convinced me...order placed !
Loving the videos, car sounds mental now👍
Really enjoying the series 👌 🙌
Cheers Ben. Funny story.. well, not really funny, but I nearly bought your R8 (you beat me to it) I was very jealous. I follow you on TH-cam and was absolutely gutted for you when it went up 😔 surprised you didn’t buy Marks R8, are you going to buy another?
@@VisionAutoworksUK I'm still waiting for a pay out 😬 and marks r8 needed too much work
@@VisionAutoworksUK as soon as I get a payout I'll but another. I'm thinking wrap and f1 exhaust
Yeah, it was a toss up between Marks and this one, for me. This one just came out on top. The F1 exhaust is a MUST for any R8.. every time I drive it, it just wows. Plus, if you’re not feeling particularly obnoxious, you can just close the valves and it pretty much sounds like stock 👌🏻
@@VisionAutoworksUK would love to seebit at some point 👌
Awesome video, this helped convince me to buy one! I’m in the process of installing it now and curious where you took power for the valve? Did you tap straight into a fuse box somewhere?
I ended up taking a live from the cigarette lighter, running it back through a grommet in the rear wall. It’s probably the easiest place. Unless you want to have a permanent 12v, then you can go off the starter motor.
Incredible video sir! Question: How does the Top Gear exhaust loudness compare to the stock exhaust when valves are closed? I bought mine with a Scorpion unvalved exhaust which sounds great but a bit loud for motorway and the neighbours! Wondering if I should change it for a Top Gear?? Would really appreciate your thoughts? Cheers :)
Thanks Mike 😌 I guess in hind sight, I should have probably gone over that.. maybe I’ll do a short on it or something. When the valves are closed the exhaust sounds almost identical to stock, no drone, absolutely perfect for those days when you don’t want to wake the dead 😂
Happy for you mate. 👍
Does this topgear system allow you to remotely open and close the valves??
Yeah, comes with a remote key fob 👍🏻
Love this... I have a set of R8 wheels going lol
Already got some 😁 check out the latest video (goes live at 6pm tonight)
Have you got the sort of glitter wrapped R8? Recently on Ben’s channel?
Yes mate that's the one
Loving this content.... Brilliant to watch
I dont hear the downshift wooshes you use to get from the standard exhaust in sport mode post 2014 model, is that now gone?
It’s manual 👍🏻 no sport mode.
@@VisionAutoworksUK Makes no difference you still downshift on gears dont you even in a manual!
Alright mate, calm down 😂
