996 C4S Sports Exhaust....heard one last night...wow!

[SpeedFreakDave]

Ok I don't have one, but was walking out of Gloucester Road tube station last night on my way to the gym at Point West and one of these pulled away from the lights. It sounded amazing! Whats the best exhaust out there, would it be best to assume it was a tubi? It was a dark blue C4s - so if you are on PH what was it?!!!

More importantly (for me!) .....is there anything out there you can get to sound similar on a 996 GT2? Do the tubi's on these make a big noise difference? But will that mean I cant get on any track days? I am currently running on a modified exhaust system made especially for the car, Cargraphic systems have been recommended to me.

Cheers guys

May have been me... Midnight blue C4S Cab....

The exhaust is the standard Porsche Sport Exhaust...

...and it never fails to put a smile on my face...

Well the car "I think" pulled out of point west and headed West towards Earls court, must have been around 5.45/6pm??? And you gave it the gun in true style!

Doesn't matter what you do you won't get a Turbo/GT2 to sound as a good as a naturally aspirated C2/C4/C4S, one of the trade offs I guess for the extra poke!

Take a look on youtube for lots of exhaust vids.

The PSE on the 996 is sublime, like a howling wolf. The 997 Sports Exhaust is not, unfortunately, anywhere near as good, because apparently of laws against noise in Germany. This is as fine an example of shooting yourself in the foot as you are likely to find.

I think the reason for the oppressive noise laws is because of a minority of people putting organ pipes on their cars specifically to make a racket.

Doesn't the PSE have some sort of switch so you can make your broom-broom noise out of earshot and be reasonably considerate in public?

Ah, but that switch is better disabled right?so everyone outside the chip shop can be impressed and awestruck with the sensational mighty Porsche cock extension...

But then guess what? noise laws get tightened.

Ho hum. You've brought it on yourselves I tell you.

Love the 460bhp of silence in my GT2...

isnt 460 hp just a different type of cock extension sounds like sour grapes.

I get mine fitted by Bolton OPC on Friday - hope everyone on PH is right.

Can't wait!
