I run straight out from the 100 cell cats (993TT) and its not too loud when doing highway in 6th. Neighbors don't dig it when I go out at 6ish on a Sunday morning...but I'm pretty quiet the rest of the week.

 

IMHO go with a Fabspeed loud exhaust.. Its still very loud with awesome gains throughout the board, and retains the low end torque, im not a fan of straight pipes they are OBNOXIOUS, and my M3 was LOOOOUUUUDDD!

 

Martin-I agree 100%. Thought my GruppeM exhaust on my M3 was all that until the porsche salespeople called it loud & obnxious. Also heard straight pipes on a GT3 in person, and absolutely love the sound. Just don't know if I can live with it (neighbors, kids in backseat, law inforcement, etc.).

 

I always ran a cat bypass pipe in all previous OBD1 Porsches. The smell is great.

 

Exactly, or at least keep ur 100 cell cats for the 02 sensors... U will get kicked out of ur Condo- trust me I know. Coming home at 5 am from the clubs landed me a gun pointed at me ( my neighbor could not take the sound of my car anymore). That's what straight pipes will do.

 

No ****!!!!

 

God...Where the F'k do you live in Chicago...that's rough!...Definately not in Lincoln Park....

 

I live in Edgebrook near Skokie... The neighbor is a retired COP.

 

My wife regularly puts a gun to my head because of my exhaust. You get used to it.

I seriously had a neighbor run out and ***** me out in his bathrobe. I even used to start it in the garage until the cold idle died down, and even then they got pissed.

Just be careful, I did some damage to my hearing from them at the track. I usually wore earplugs but sometimes forgot. ALWAYS wear them if running straight pipes.

 

I do garage warm up as well. People a bit delicate re making noise while they are sleeping...here in LA I find people a bit more tolerant...I guess when you live in a place where you can get knocked out of bed by an earthquate at any moment you are happy when a big noise is not followed by the earth opening up...so you just go back to bed!

 

I have 2 retired cops, 2 retired school teachers and 1 zoning/planning commissioner for the city of Chicago....

 

Damn Mark, time to move!

 

hey what time today?

 

Guys,
