Cayman + Carnewal = awesome.....
Discussion
For anybody looking for a sports exhaust for their Cayman this year I can give you a firm recommendation for the GT Exhaust from Gert at Carnewal in Belgium.
The standard sound was very pleasing but a little muted. Something that sounds so good needs to be given some volume. I didnt want anything shouty loud, but something special sounding under load & acceleration, with no drone at motorway speeds.
Gert's exhaust does all of this. In addition you get a fantastic bark on start up and also some faint popping on the over-run.
This has been well worth the money, especially with the core exchange deal and great customer service.
I have also done the Planet 9 forum "de-snork" mod to open the airbox and this combined with the GT Exhaust has really made a fantastic difference and the car feels much more special.
Hammering along the Yorkshire Dales back roads with the windows down, induction roar & exhaust noise bouncing off the dry stone walls has genuinely added an extra dimension to driving the car. To me the noise is akin to a junior GT3 flat six howl and I'll now find the wait for the genuine article much more pleasing!!
FYI my Cayman is a 2008 2.7, easily the best handling car I've had the pleasure of owning so far
Happy motoring in 2012 all....!

Fully agree, it is a good peice of kit.
Totally transforms the car (3.4S) and it makes it sound and feel a bit sportier.
I'm not keen on doing the de-snork but will be looking at the cats and softronic next.
Possibly with a GT3 Cup intake plenum too.
What a roar you get through 5000rpm, the sound of the original car was one of the reasons I bought it but this just takes it to the next level.
The only thing I think you lose is a sound I noticed when changing gears on country roads (going hard but changing early).
Best thing is the car is fully adjusted to the new exhaust well before you get back to Calais.
I was lucky and had a nice day with little traffic on a saturday morning and I bow deeply to those french motorists that move over swiftly to let you past.
Unlike those t
ts on the M1 and M6 in the UK who love to lane hog.
