Does anyone have this on their car?

 

I guess time has passed this exhaust by.

 

Friend of mine has Sportec exhaust, chip, and bigger turbine of VTG blowers in his 997tt, but the car became lack of top end power. Thus after 3 month he replaced it with Kreissieg valve tronic exhast. Then the top end power improved.

 

I have the Sportec exhaust with 100 cell cats on my 2004 911 turbo with the X50 engine. This is an excellent exhaust but the reason you do not see too many of them on Porsches was due to the price.
They were over $7000 when I bought mine and that was more expensive than the Europipe or the Cargraphic exhausts.

They do sound fantastic though, and there are many sound clips on Youtube of Sportec exhausts.

 

With so much money you can buy a Kreissieg

 

Thanks for the replies. I knew the Sportec was very expensive and didn't sell well in the U.S. That explains easily why it isn't widely reviewed by 996TT owners.

There was a n incomplete unit for sale on eBay. I have a bad habit of rolling the dice on bargains when I come accross them. Most pan out, some don't. This one doesn't inlcude cats or pipes to them out of the muffler but otherwise looks like it's in very good condition. Anyway I was the only bidder and got it for cheap.

What will it take for me to complete it?

 

It looks like you are missing the racing cats and the stainless steel mounting straps.

You got yourself a steal!

Good luck.

 

To control the valves you can use 996 N/A's PSE wiring kit. You can get it from any Porsche parts dealer. A friend of mine bought his from Gert @ Carnewal. Includes all wires, switch, relay etc. While I installed my old M&M valved exhaust to his turbo, he did the wiring. One day job.

 

What do you suppose my options are for the cats? I'm afraid buying them from Sportec might cost as much as an entire system from one of the makers frequented here.

 

The exhaust just arrived and it's about perfect. It has to have less than 5k miles on it, probably less. Those valves on the second pipe concern me. I think they might default to the closed position and open when the engine is under load and a vacum is created. The 996 NA PSE valves default to open position. I guess I'll get an expert to figure that out.

 

Looks identical to the gen 1 9ff exhaust. (not surprising) I gave the gen 2 on my car.

Most of the pierburg valves default to the OPEN position. Application of vacuum will close the valves.

Makes sense for many reasons.

 

I hope you are right! It's a Boysen valve.

 

Looks good, yes I think Sportec charge $1,000 for answering the telephone, they are not cheap

 

Just got the PSE wiring kit. Next stop will be a custom exhaust shop for cats and fabricating tubes for fitment. That will be the most expensive part of this project.

 

I had one of these on a 01 996 turbo with x50 hybid turbos and it was awsome, It is actualy sitting on a shelf if anyone is interested, I used it for abour 500 miles and took the car off the street to build a track car. Make an offer, yes it was very $$ new but well built and sounds great.
