I have had them for years and many threads pro and con on this a search may help.

personally I love them. you need an ECU flash so you wont throw codes.

quite at idle, Cup car loud at WOT.

best hp exhaust bang for buck plus loose 50+ pounds where you need to.

no brainer to me.

short clip in my car at Sebring chasing a GT3 wide open on the long backstraight.

If your in the coral springs area come by and hear my catless Race exhaust. I would not put it on if you are worried about it being to loud, its for hardcore people only. like tom said great way to save 50lbs for sure.

Tom,

Great video!! Thanks for sharing that. By the sounds of it you have perfected blipping the throttle on the down shifts. I am currently working on that but I find myself over revving a little to much. It is nice to see the apex turn ins and braking points that you are able to achieve. Looks like you have a pretty good handle on that track. I just purchased a little 987 S so I will be out with the PCA at the September 20-21 DE Sebring GCR/Suncoast. I will look for your turbo.

I drive the car to the track sometimes and listen to the radio and carry on conversation (sometimes with myself) at normal speech and it is fine. people make WAY to big a deal out of how loud this set up is. it is as loud as YOU want it to be. at idle I pump gas right beside troopers filling up, only comment I have gotten from police is "nice car"
