I am with HotRod guy in post #42.
I thought VR Alex was a tool before I had met him (I had certainly heard alot
about him from both sides). The one and only time I met him he went out of his
way to help me in every way possible. He was a complete gentleman the whole time.
As for the CGT with straight pipes...They suck. I was in Liepzig for delivery of a friends
CGT and I drove it for 1 hour one day including about 600 miles as a passenger over several days. With the stock exhuast on, the music was pure Sex from the pipes,
louder is not better. Kinda like people who prefer straight pipes on a 996 twin turbo
compared to a nicely tuned and somewhat quiet Europipe Stage 2 quiet.
To each his own but in the CGT with stock pipes, one "blip" of the throttle and everyone
comes running to see the car.

it's too bad someone (anyone?) doesn't invite VR Alexander back to 6speedonline.com, isn't it? 
then HE could chime in on HIS straight-pipe CGT.

straight pipes are way too much for my taste, but i am very curious as to how both the Fuchs, sport and race mufflers sound. doesnt anyone have sound clips.

Had the chance to spend an afternoon with Alex and his infamous CGT ... both the man and car were great company!
In real life and in traffic, I didn't think the car wasn't all that loud. Yes it's loud, but only when he gets on it. In that case, you'll hear it from a mile away.
. When dordling around, it's not obnoxious at all.
From the inside, it didn't feel all that noisy, it felt ... just right.

I would be interested in hearing sound clips as well. Didn't realize they made a system for the CGT.

I know what you mean man, had them on my 996TT and they were wayyyyyy too obnoxious, horrible sounding too which isnt the case with the CGT, but still way too loud to enjoy the car a lot!

Rep Power: 579 well what's interesting is turbo cars w/ straight pipes are usually quieter then their NA/SC'd counterparts.
