The Spyder we bought is pdk and looks as if pse is likely the only option to eliminate drone. Fabspeed recommends just their headers with stock exhaust. I have found no other results of what works on pdk cars. If someone runs across a used pse I would be interested also.

I did the Carnewal Modification thru Cantrell in Washington and am very happy with the sound. No additional power but no drone either!!

But I do agree it's the best exhaust mod if one wants civilized/no drone with a moderate gain.

I have a PSE on my Spyder ad frankly rarely if ever turn it on. At some point it may be replaced if someone wants it. If I were to go aftermarket it would most likely be the Ramus titanium and the reason being to save weight. The stock Porsche exhausts are actually rather efficient and most aftermarket ones simply are noisier without producing any real power increases.

Thanks guys for the info on the Carnewall exhaust. I'm going to look into it. I'd like to keep things as stock as possible, but can't see dropping 2k+ for PSE. Carnewall seems like an affordable and stock-like option.

Donn, on 987.2's (all '09-'12) the 4 cats are in the manifolds,
all manifold back exhausts, including stock, don't have cats in them.
Only the 987.1 ('06-'08) muffler housings had cats in them.
Porsche kept the rear housings on the .2's, but moved the rear 2 cats to the manifolds.
If you look at bare manifolds it's easy to see, also if you open the mufflers like Cantrell does.
This is also why the .1's gain more than the .2's gain from a catback.
