M&K 1 in 1 out - How loud? Need advice pls

Dear Pelicans,

So after much consideration I am settling on an M&K 1 in 1 out sport muffler to go on my current stock 86 Carrera. I am going to compliment it with a chip and intake, however I dont want the car to be too loud during normal driving. I plan to do some long scenic trips and one reason I have decided not to go the 2 to 2 or 1 to 2 is because of the dreaded drone.

I want to enjoy the sounds and wonders of this iconic aircooled porsche with a little more kick than the OEM set up has to offer, but at the same time I dont want the whole world to stare at me in traffic or during light cruising and still be able to get out after a nice drive and not have my hearing impaired!

Any help or experience you can share with the M&K 1 in 1 out would be appreciated. Incidentally I have the cat deleted.

Many thanks!

Barry M.

Barry, the sound level will depend on what you replaced the cat with.
Most quiet is the OEM cat followed by the pre-muffler and lastly the cat bypass pipe which has no muffling at all. If your cat was replaced with a bypass you have 2 more quiet options available.

The 1 in 1 out with the Cat is not much louder then stock and much lighter. It doesn't have a musical note like some others. Th sound is a bit like shaking kitty litter at idle. The reason I like it is simply the very light weight and it isn't loud enough to attract attention.

I love it. It mellowed out a bit after driven. My videos below are with a euro bypass, 1/1 M&K and SW chip.
