Question RarlyL8 Performance Headers

Who is running them in their SC (3.0 or 3.2)...

Looking to buy this setup to use on my 3.0 RS project. Already emailed Brian but wanted to read on some feedback from those that have had it for awhile now.



Any videos/sound clips would be great.

Thank you in advance.

Also plan on getting these to quiet it down a bit... based on some feedback from a few threads that I have read on the M&K exhaust noise level...

RWB uses our systems. Several options to tone down the sound to the level you like best.

Had them for a while now, complete system with the spring actuated baffles, I discovered the baffles and provided the feedback to Brian. Great performance and incredible sound.

I will let Brian answer that one... I just told him what was my engine, distant future mods, and he selected the one I needed. He sells different diameters depending on engine size and mods.

Just waiting for the invoice to arrive

Brian, I would advertise the RWB aspect more! I know a lot of purists don't care for RWB, but I think Porsches are being bought by a LOT of people who really admire the style.

I don't think so, I haven't got any dyno time to back it up though. I think I have gobs of torque 3600 and up. Sweet spot is 3800-5500.

I have these on my M&K 1in 2out GT3 style to gain back low to mid range torque. happy doing it and toned down exhaust sound just a little bit. Love the idle rumble

I learned about these from motorcycle mufflers... so you can find them from different sources. I made it easy, I am just buying them from Brian as part of the whole package...

How does this compare with the SSI?

larger diameter pipes than SSI (and optional heat exchangers) are primary difference. SSI is effectively a copy of the early 911 exhaust system, which was optimized for earlier, smaller engines. The diameter of the SSIs pipes is said to be too small for later 911 engines (3.2-3.6 liter in particular) and the Rarely L8 headers larger diameter alleviates this restriction. Interestingly, while the SSI's restrictions for large(r) engines can compromise top-end power, it can also provide a nice mid-range torque bump.
