996TT sports exhaust update !

[grant3]

Hi chaps,
Thought this would be of interest to fellow 996TTers.
Having pruntled on about sports exhaust's a while ago, I thought an update was in order.
Got the car back from my local OPC yesterday with a cargraphic sports system fitted...first impressions...

Upside.....From the outside it sounds fanbloodytastic, particularly flat out in 2nd & third & not too loud on tickover, just deeper & meaner !! Has added to the driver interaction, sounds particularly mean in the mid-range. The turbo's are spooling up earlier & there is noticably more grunt than before.

Downside....It can be VERY boomy in the cabin on certain part throttle openings (the same points as the standard car is loud..e.g.around 2k). This may prove wearing, only time will tell. It's at it's loudest inside the cabin in the mid-range & (suprisingly) not at the top end.

I will keep you posted once I have lived with it for a while, which reminds me must go out & test it out again,listen out for me !!!

Clubsport...yes it has the 100 cell race cats,they are part of the whole exhaust system. According to the OPC
you need to take the rear bumper off to fit it, so I don't think I will be wipping it on & off. in honesty I managed to bag one second hand, I had decided that £3500 was a bit extravagant for a toy that I may not like. James..I have the ear plugs ready.

Thanks chaps according to cargraphic it gives an extra 21 horses & 20Ibft of torque, which has been proved on the rolling road. Still not quite got Daz's 450 bhp, but whats 9 bhp between PistonHeaders !!!
