I had fitted my LR3 with Larini exhaust and the sound is TRUE V8 RUMBLE not like the old exhaust that sounds like a vacuum cleaner!! also the performance had a good improvement.
Fitting the exhaust was easy at home with ordinary tools, I like the quality of the exhaust and the appearance is great

Looks good, and if it improves the sound and performance - well that's a bonus!
BTW, can I assume the additional LAND ROVER badging on the rear was added by the dealer or do Q8 models come with it?
Thanks, LeighLeighW

[OFF TOPIC] I have been driving around in far North Queensland recently and out of touch with the forum but, Nathan, did you get your height issues sorted with any aftermarket bits yet?
And I understand what you say about the exhausts in view of some of the places your D3 seems to find itself in!!LeighW

Actually the LAND ROVER badge was my idea, I bought the badge from the dealer and stick it by my self. It's the same as the front one with a little modification to keep it straight. It's more like RR than a D3.'05 LR3 HSE V8 - Adriatic Blue - Larini Exhaust System - Lamp Guards - Dual battery system - Hidden 12k winch - Rasta Sump Guard

Get a friend to drive your Disco around while you listen
from the footpath ... It will bring a huge smile to your face ... to hear what
it sounds like to the rest of the world as you drive bye
You might have done this already but if you havnt .. do it 8)
The use of the Landrover extra letters on the back of your D3.. I'm Sorry mate
Im going to steal your idea .. The back needs something more ... didnt know what it was ... but i do now.. Cheers

LOL< I went to my dealer today and picked up the hood (bonnet) letters today for application on the rear.
WIth my truck, I don't have a V8 or an S, SE or HSE, so it's completely nude and is just screaming for something that boldy proclaims the Maker.

Thanks Barry, Note that the front letters needs to be modified before you can stick it at the back. It's not straight and you need to re-adjust the letters.
