...to my 996 C4. Very happy with the results. Also wanted to waste a bit more money, so I got their sports tail pipes as well!

Not too sure about the tailpipes - look a bit big and bean-canish to me, but will probably get used to them. Didn't realise they were so BIG.

Exhaust note is nice - what a Porsche should sound like, IMHO. Sounds great in underground carparks - really roars!!

The sports exhaust was approx £1,600, incl parts and labour - OPC. The sports tail pipes were about £300.

Porsche do not claim any performance increase at all - but this could be for emissions / certification reasons in the US. On Rennlist there is annecdotal evidence from instructors at track days that cars with the sports exhaust are faster by the end of long straights than stock exhaust cars.

The car FEELS to me as if it's got slightly improved performance, but this could be psychological.
