Sorry mods if I should have posted this in the 996 forum that one just is not so lively

Ben,

You don't happen to need any "beta-testers" for a '74 exhaust setup, do you? I've got a stock 2.7L with Webers and the stock heat exchangers and Leistritz muffler...

Very interested in testing the 996 version. I have your muffler on my '87 and love it. Have been waiting for this.

I'll ask my neighbor... he's got a brand new 997TT Cabriolet (trip)... and a brand new Cayene TT... oh... and a 997 4S (stick) that he had to take away from his son... too many tickets... I offered my services

Why he moved in to my area I have no idea... those 3 combined are almost what the house went for... hehehe

What would testing it involve? Just fit? or driving? We have a dyno just down the street and 2 very good shops w/in 15 minutes drive...

here is the 1st ones being sent for testing. These should work nice they weigh 9lbs a side vs 21 and use 2.250 tubing versus stock 2.125

Ben, I have several friends with 996s of various years, with one of a close friend that I drive somewhat frequently and it's a daily driver for him. We do think they're a bit too quiet and were going to do some surgery to the existing mufflers, but I think this car could be a candidate for your consideration with feedback from the both of us. Let me know if interested.

I will consider that. these have very expensive to produce up front so I need to do testing somewhat locally right now to see if the market will like this option before sending out samples so to speak
