Magnaflow Exhaust- through bumper - Page 4

I know I could make the exhaust portion as a kit though I really need a car in person with the setup to do it right though we could do slip joints with clamps. the 2 out would have to be custom as the tail pipes angle downward this could not happen for this setup. interesting

I've always loved the look of the 2 out, but not at the expense of carrying on a conversation in the car with my wife without shouting. So before I get too worked up, I have to remind myself that there's a trade off between the sound and looks.

Right now I have one of Ben's 1 in, 1 out and it's perfect... Am I right Ben, there's no way you can have the same noise level with the 1 in and 2 out as my M&K 1 in and 1 out in this through the bumper configuration?

It really is not that loud. It may be that cat that is helping here or the fact that it is a single in but whatever it is, it is not as loud as the 2 in 2 outs I have heard. It is exactly the way I like it, quiet when the windows are up, but a nice performance sound when the windows are down. I am pretty busy the next couple of days but I will try and get a sound clip/video up this weekend.

I hope somebody has you do one. The more I live with it the more I love it.

My mechanic says it has the sweetest sound of any 911's that he has worked on. It can get loud on higher rpm's and my neighbors all know when I am out.

Man, your bumper is ripe for the Carrera GT style outlets. It would look really great on a shaved car.

The quick easy fix for that is a plug. I have Ben's 2in 2out and with both pipes open it is too loud for an enjoyable cruise. Most of the time I have a plug in the second pipe and it quiets it down so that it is civil. In 30 seconds I can pull the plug out and it sounds great on the track or car show. I painted the inside of my plug flat black with BBQ grill paint so it is nearly invisible when installed.

I suspect you could fab up a plug for one pipe of this system if it was too loud. Or how about one of those electric/pneumatic systems that some newer cars are using to open valves in exhaust systems?

I would so do it if I was in Ben's neck of the woods.
