My name is Jim Valentine and I’ve been involved in the design and manufacture of Stainless Steel performance exhausts for over 23 years. We’re now in our 6th year of concentrating production on the Lotus Elise and Exige. In that time, 2bular has earned a world-wide reputation as a quality product in design and finish. My exhausts are hand-built and TIG-welded here, in sunny Aberdeen, UK. I probably have the largest range of exhaust designs available for these cars. A lot of time and effort goes into R&D to make sure 2bular is top of the wish list for any Elise/Exige enthusiast. All over the world, Elise/Exige owners and tuning shops appreciate that drive to have an exhaust which looks good and performs better than the rest.

I’m looking to expand my distributor/agent network, here in the UK and overseas. Applications are invited from interested parties. Only bona fide established Lotus tuners/garages will be considered. Minimum orders will be necessary. German Lotus tuners need not apply.

The new design of chambered Trackday silencer; having been asked to quieten some Supercar aftermarket exhausts, this would be the perfect solution. If any Lamborghini/Ferrari/Porsche owner/tuner is interested, please contact me.

2bular list of firsts:

• The large-bore 4-1 header/manifold for the supercharged 2zz-ge motor
• An 8”dia,  track-friendly system – GT3 and behind grille off-set system
• Euro-Exit system with full 2.5” (63.5mm) bore for the supercharged installs
• Euro Hammerhead system – quieter than the Euro Exit system
• 130mm dia Sports Cat for the hi-power supercharged motor
• Stepped primary 4-2-1 header/manifold for the n/a 2zz-ge motor
• 4-2-1 header/manifold for the 1zz-fe installs
• Large, 7”dia Ti/Stainless hybrid system with full 2.5” (63.5mm) bore for the supercharged motor
• The 2” bore 4-1 manifold for the VX Supercharger installs

My thanks to those of you who contacted me recently to point out the plagiarism of my header/manifold designs. It’s surely a massive compliment and who else would they copy?

Sales of 2bular exhausts doubled last year – a huge achievement in these difficult times and I will be moving into other car markets soon!

I’m a very busy man. I will try to answer your enquiry as quickly as possible but please be patient. Many e-mails ask for price/lead time/shipping details – it’s all on the site. I’ll be adding an FAQ feature to add more info. Please include a contact phone number in your enquiry if you’d like me to call you. My reply to your first enquiry gives you my contact phone number, by all means phone me. As far as I’m aware, I’ve cleared the e-mail back-log! Anyone still waiting – please try again.

If you don’t receive a reply within 48hrs – just give me a nudge!
