The Sound Architect
In Sept 2018 the new WLTP (World harmonised Light vehicles Test Procedure) was imposed as a result of the VW emissions cheating scandal.
The WLTP rules compel all car manufacturers to ensure that their vehicles comply rigidly with worldwide harmonised noise regulations. The practical result is that cars manufactured after this date are significantly quieter. And... the simultaneous imposition of particulate filters makes them quieter still.
For many citizens this is desirable, but for enthusiast drivers the sound is an important element of the experience and almost no one wants a silent Sports Car (even electric vehicles are being saddled with artificial soundtracks).
The QuickSilver 'Sound Architect™ exhaust should please all enthusiasts with it's bass-heavy presence and rising note under acceleration - With nice turbo wheezes, even Tommi Mäkinen would be satisfied
Enhance
Our Sound Architect exhaust system contains two separate gas paths and an electronic flap-valve decides which path is taken, loud or quiet. This valve is controlled by our QuickSilver APP on the driver's bluetooth device or (in many cases) integrated into the car's existing controls.
We analyse the sound of the car to determine which elements should be suppressed and which enhanced.
Our valved QuickSilver Sound Architect systems are also truly 'plug & play'. If the the electronic module is required it simply connects to an existing 12v accessory socket and is controlled wirelessly - so there in no intrusion into any of the car's existing systems and no re-wiring is necessary. It could not be simpler.
The electronics are designed in-house and manufactured for us here in the UK, using local British factories

Origins & Experience - Since 1973
QuickSilver was founded in 1973, originally in Esher, Surrey. At this time the average life expectancy of an original equipment exhaust system was only 18 months > There was a demand for something better!
QuickSilver settled down in Battersea, central London from 1985 to 2003.
In 2004 QuickSilver's marketing and distribution moved to new purpose -built premises in Wormley, Surrey, to focus on the creation of a modern QuickSilver range of systems for the world's finest cars.
Systems - Manufactured in Great Britain - Exhausts are Custom Order and can take 4-6 weeks for production. Please contact GMP for details.
QuickSilver's range breaks down into three main categories;
Sports: The most popular range of systems catering for modern cars enhancing their sound and overall performance. QuickSilver offer a choice of sound for many vehicle models to allow the enthusiast driver to personalise the experience.
Heritage Collection: A 3000 plus catalogue of systems dating back to 1902, supplying Stainless Steel systems that match the original. For over 35 years QuickSilver have produced and stocked systems for the likes of MGB, Jaguar XK120, Alfa Giulia, Aston Martin, Ferrari – all the popular Classics and this is still a very important part of QuickSilvers's business.
Titan Collection: A bespoke service where QuickSilver strive to engineer the ultimate Exhaust systems. The exhausts included within the 'Titan Collection' are systems that have all the advantages of the 'Sports' range but QuickSilver have examined ways to reduce weight to a minimum by using alternative materials such as thin gauge stainless steel (.9mm), Titanium or Inconel in .7 or .9mm thickness. Some systems combine these materials to achieve the correct balance of strength, lightness and durability.
