Manthey sports mufflers on 996
Discussion
Are you looking at the set for sale at RSJ?
I also got mine via JZMachtech but you can actually go direct to MM in Germany. Each set is date stamped and initialed for authenticity.
They have a performance advantage over PSE whilst also saving you some weight at the rear. I debated hard over the choice but glad I went with the Manthey, the sound isn't as 'growly' as the PSE and really comes alive over 4k revs. You still get that nice burble at lower revs but at higher revs the pitch is higher, more like a cup car, but you need the full exhaust system to get that full effect. You only notice just how nice it sounds when someone else drives your car, like when you drop it off for service work etc. Inside there's no resonance like some of the other aftermarket options.
For noise only - PSE
For performance and very close 2nd on noise - Manthey
And remember though that you can get 99% of the PSE sound for a fraction of the cost by doing the 'hack'.

Thanks stuart for that info, yes i was looking at the mufflers for sale at RSJ but do like the growl from the pse
I was looking into having the hack done as its much cheaper and all i want is more noise,
only problem is the seams on my mufflers are corroding on the bottom, so not sure what to do at the moment
good luck with the sale of your car it looks like a great buy for the new lucky owner
