Hi All,

I recently just purchased a 996 turbo cab which I LOVE. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to make it slightly louder ?

It sounds nice but my 991 Carrera 2 was louder. My friend has an AM Vantage and he has attached a unit to the fuse board which he can optionally keep the exhaust valves open which makes it louder when he pleases ?

Is there anything like this that can be done for the 996 ? I am keen to keep it as close to original as possible.

Thanks!

Your only real option on a Turbo is an aftermarket exhaust, which isn't cheap (it's a big lump of stainless steel and Porsche tax definitely applies!). I had Speedtech on my Turbo S which sounded lovely and didn't drone; Europipe and Klein are also highly recommended. Depending on what cats are fitted to the new exhaust, you might need the ECU remapping to keep the post-cat lambda readings in range; I had no problems with 100 cell cats but plenty of others have needed a remap.

Thanks for this, I bought it from JZM and they have recommended a Europipe as an option!

I will do some digging and weigh up all of the different options!

Thanks!

Had a Europipe on my 997 Turbo coupe and 997 Turbo Cab. Great bit of kit and not sure a turbo can sound much better. Customer service from the Belgian manufacturer and supplier was off the scale great. Also got a huge chunk of the investment back when I sold the pipe on.
