JCR is planning on supplying their version with heat shields, made from Titanium it will be light but no doubt expensive!

I wasn't referring to the Soundaktor. I was referring to the sound symposer in prior Porsches.

Westcoast

...your answer was misleading then as you quoted someone who was directly referring to what was in the 718 cars and in a 718 GT4/Spyder sub forum.

Thanks, Westcoast. Helpful. If I don't get a 982 Spyder, I may end up spec'ing a Boxster S; so, this info is very useful.

If you buy the four banger I’ll bet you leave it activated. Fake or not, that car sounds way better in the cabin than outside.

You can also just pull the fuse for it. There is nothing else on it. That’s what I did and it does sound better than having the fuse in, at least it does to my ear. To each their own though.

You may be right; I don't have a reference point since I haven't driven one. However, I'm a self-proclaimed purist! Absolutely can not have anything piped-in or synthesized! 981's "engineered" overrun sound is the most I can tolerate!

The heat shielding is also titanium, welded not clamped as per OEM and way more effective. It’s really important to have this.

Our price, as ever, is according to the materials and fabrication time. I should have the pricing nailed down this week and I’ll be happy to share on here.

Another new system that popped up; this one is going to be pricey as it's inconel:


For you non-IG folks:

Westcoast

Thanks JC, I absolutely agree about the need for the heat shield and accept that titanium is more expensive to work with.

I see the complexity and engineering that goes into the rear silencer section of these exhausts, but I am surprised that even the SS over axel OPF delete pipes have been showing up at over $1000 a side, that seems excessive given their relatively simple design?

JCR-Porsche

I haven't seen pricing for anyones OPF delete pipes to be honest, I think you might be surprised how our pricing compares if they're selling them for $2000+ for the pair for SS

Cool, looking forward to your update, BTW good surprises are always welcome!

I have been continuing to look and have found a less expensive set from Italy ~ $1000 Euro ($1100 US) just for reference, but no details on material or heat shields...

I had one on my Golf R and it actually sounded good, like an amplification of the intake noise. Wasn't overdone and much better sound than what comes out of the tail pipe of a typical four cylinder turbo, though I have to say that the Golf R exhaust sounds way better than the 718 4 cylinder. The 718S may be an awesome car and motor, but it sounds god awful outside the car, no getting around it.

Yep, like the post 2014 F1 cars
