Anything be "done" to a 996TT to make it sound better FOC?

[rumplestiltskin]

On the Boxster S you can remove the "snorkel" to make it sound more aggresive, on the 996's there is the "orange cap" mod to do the same, both cost next to nothing & improve the engine sound (apart from drilling a hole in the exhaust !)
Anything like that available on the 996TT ?

Just wondering....

Trade it in for a normally aspirated Porsche

Seriously talk to Manu regarding a Tubi.

Sorry but NO, only route is an aftermarket exhaust system, but as these have to include the Cats, they are expensive with a capital E (£2.5k plus!), best route buy the Porsche mags, search the web, ask your OPC etc, for a second hand set-up.

I got a used GHL motorsport exhausts for sale. It costs $3000 new (it comes with the super expensive german 100cel cats) and I'm willing to let go for £900 plus shipping from Portugal (approx. £150). Go to www.ghlmotorsportcom and if you're interested contact me and I'll send you a pdf document with some independent 996TT exhaust testing including RUF, GHL, Fabspeed, etc

Cheers

trace the exhaust from the holey bits sticking out the back of the car all the way to the turbo. and remove.

This mod was "all the rage" about 2 years ago, I did the mod on my 3.4 996 C2, but only for a few weeks as wasn't 110% sure it wouldn't damage something somewhere, though I was assured it wouldn't (and I had no issues)
Made the car sound much better, and the caps are free samples you can order (I still have one knocking around somewhere)

So Basically nothing on a 996 TT except change the exhaust ?
I am after a sports exhaust that sounds more like a 4S. I appreciate the turbos suppress the sound.
But its the rawness of the 4S that i am after.Not massive noise and booming.
I recently fitted the GT2 fabspeed exhaust and took off 4 hrs later as it was unbearable. I am also not keen on the tubi.
any other suggestions to sound more like a 4 s, and dont suggest buying one :-)

I'm having the same problem by the way in finding the right exhaust system!!!
I'm so so stuck as to what to buy and know one has helped in the way that I would like.

Turbo with Tubi is ( imo ) the answer, it`s not as loud as a C4s with factory sports exhaust but much better than the stock turbo. See Manu at Scuderia Systems , very enthusiastic and is very competitive re: prices.

oops, didn`t see the FOC, ignore the above.

Any thoughts on the Cargraphic 996 TT system? Mark at Stuttgart connection reckons he can provide the system for under £2,500 inc. Sounds a good price, but is the system any good?

Another question, using 100 cell cats, is the car likely to fail emissions tests in the near future as I have heard stories of the cats burning out quickly?
