996 GT3 Mk1 sports exhaust options?
Discussion
I am toying with the idea of a sports exhaust for my Mk1 GT3. I wonder if I could get some thoughts on the following
1 my car is an original example under 20k miles. Would I be "ruining" it's authenticity by putting a sports exhaust
2 the manthey option (via jzm) seems v expensive for a filter remap and exhaust. Anyone had experience of cargraphic/Hayward & Scott etc?
3 what performance differences can I expect or just better noise?
Any other thoughts welcome.
Cheers

I'm being a bit thick here but do you mean buy a manthey exhaust from M&M? Ie off their site here http://www.m-m-exhaustusa.com/googlec1010d382bd481...
And get it properly mapped etc?

By way of update, with very helpful tips from slippydiff my Mk1 GT3 now has an M&M exhaust and a remap.
The exhaust, which i understand is (or is v similar) to that which Manthey use in their conversions, was bought direct from M&M in Germany.
Having had it installed and a remap later, the car is more addictive than ever to drive. 397 bhp on the dyno, the induction sound and the rate at which the revs climb over 3000rpm as well as the exhaust note is amazing.
Total cost all in was a shade over £4k. Best ££s i've ever spent on any mod.
Roll on the Euro road trip in a couple of weeks over the Alps and Pyrenees.

Will do and thanks again for all your help.
The change really does let the car off its leash - and the woolfy raspy exhaust note at low to medium revs is brilliant, the howl at 5.5k to red line even more so, and its' close to stock note at cruising speeds so very little compromise too.
