Find a muffler with single out (like a GHL 2/1) and keep those headers.

Fabspeed has a wonderful website and I enjoyed listening to every exhaust on every different porsche. I discovered a few things:
1. Turbo Porsches don't sound as good as their NA counterparts. Even the Cayenne S sounds better than the Cayenne turbo.
2. The 3.2 carrera dual or single outlet sounded the best to me out of all of them. I mean it sounds really good.
3. The 997s sound better than the 996s.

Ok, here is the fix. Best of all it cost me nothing!
I fabbed this up in about an hour. Its just a piece of 1/4" X 1 1/4" flat alum stock with a 1/4-20 hole tapped into the middle and a piece of 3/32 stock cut to the shape of the exhaust tip, and it is held together by a 1/4 20 bolt with a spider lock washer. I painted it flat black with some header paint I had laying around and whalla! It helped the noise level greatly. I get to keep my headers and dual exhaust look, and it comes off in 30 seconds for DE or AutoX
( if I ever get that far)
