2.7L High Performance Exhaust option use with PPI Heat Exchangers??
 

Hey All,

Looking to upgrade my exhaust system from straight headers to SSI heat exchangers (I live in Colorado, and drive all year long).

Looking for any other exhaust recommendations to increase performance and use with heat exchangers. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks!!!

I think you are referring to SSI heat exchangers.
Headers are where the power comes from, the muffler's job is to retain as much power and add as little weight as possible while giving a more quiet and pleasing exhaust note. Big task. Muffler choice depends on a host of things such as how loud you want it, what tailpipe look you are after and how light you want it to be. We offer a host of options to meet these requirements.

Brian I have SSIs and your MK GT3 muffler on my 2.7 RS spec Motor. Are there any HP numbers on how much of a gain there is from using your muffler on a 2.7?

Muffler choice varies with engine size, modifications, and noise tolerance/desires
 

This is a hotly debated subject and preferences vary widely. Additionally, most experts opine that drone, tone, noise level, raspiness, burble and effect on the torque curve vary significantly, depending on engine size, and level of modifications.
This issue is not just specific to Porsche but applies to all internal combustion engines.
The guys on the Volkswagen, Toyota and Ferrari forums all face the same issue.
You must decide on what sound you like, (or what the passenger will tolerate), or put it on a dyno, pay the money to let the tecs develop the best hp/torque for you, noise/sound be damned, or compromise.
With my stock 74 2.7, I said "fug it", I'm 71 and want to let it rip, so I got a M&K 2 in 2 out sport and will deal with it when I get it back together.

Have a nice day
:-)

I couldn’t be happier with my SSI/M&K 2-1 combo. I had a Dansk 2-2 I was planning on using and got the M&K as part of a deal with a set of SSI’s. Once I had the two side by side I was amazed how light the M&K muffler was. Anything you can do to save weight behind the rear wheels shouldn’t be passed up.

And for what it’s worth, the M&K is a beautiful piece...an important trait to consider if it is sitting around the house waiting to be installed and you happened to be married.

How much power is being gained or lost depends on what you are comparing it to. Our standard sport mufflers are designed for use with engines sized up to about a 964 3.6L in stock form or about 250HP. M&K will out perform an OEM muffler, those numbers getting higher as the engine displacement goes up and the OEM muffler becomes more restrictive.

Hey Brian, Thanks for the info and correction of my fat fingering. So right now it's a hopped up 2.7L , but need to put on SSI (or some) heat exchangers to get heat back into the car. Which exhaust would you recommend from your assortment for the best performance?

Here is a set of SSI's to a "free flow".
Secondaries were changed to 2.5".
Running into separate 2.5" 18" glass packs.
A bit loud but rev's up quite nice
