I have been on a long time quest for an exhaust that gives both good performance and sound. As you all know I am pretty anal with the "whole package" when it comes to my car (performance and looks). The PO of my car installed the 916 bumpers front and rear. When he did so, he had them blended into the body so they are not removable with out having to repaint the car. This does not allow me to remove or modify a rear valence to get different systems to fit. The car had a Sebring muffler that consists of a 4 into one "header" (it is still bolted to the heat exchangers) and a bolt on muffler that consists of a cherry bomb style muffler. Performance was fine, but is sounded a bit to much like a hot rodded bug for my taste.
This Saturday I spent all morning at a muffler shop. We cleaned/match ported all of the ports of the header section. We then replaced the cherry bomb section with a 2" straight pipe. After many attempts, we were able to get the bends correct to allow a 10" stainless steel Supertrapp to be installed, correctly exiting through the 916 bumper. The sound and adjustability is amazing. With all of the diffuser discs installed it sounds very similar to my 1972 911S - especially when the oil cooler fan kicks on. The low end feels similar to how it was before with a bit more top end. With the discs removed alltogether it's race car loud and revs for days - but not alot of low end. With 1/2 of the discs installed it is almost quiet and pulls great from the low end, running out of steam around 5500 rpms - perfect for around town. I am very pleased. The total cost was 55.00 for the Supertrapp and 80.00 for all of the custom work. I am very pleased - I only wish I had access to a dyno for before and after testing. Just an FYI...

Happy Monday...
