Exhaust for 3.2 to 3.4

That would appear to be a modular system that wouldn't require welding, although, I'm sure you could. Any muffler you bolt up to headers is going to have elbows and such attached to it-usually by welding. I think I'd rather see a bolt flange on the headers than a clamp, however.

Evan, couple questions about the Fabspeed setup:
1) What size are your primaries on that system?
2) Why so many parts? Looks like it's modular, but overly complicated for somebody who just wants headers and a muffler. Instead of 2 headers and a muffler, you have 2 headers, 2 pipes to go to the muffler, a muffler, and then 2 tips.... that's 7 pieces instead of 3. Now each of those connection points needs a clamp...... your products look fantastic and I don't doubt the quality of them - just wondering why it isn't simpler. This is a case of "less is more" in my opinion.
Steve: Any comment on 1.5" vs 1 5/8" primaries on a 3.2-3.4L engine?

We currently are designing a RSR header kit that can be used with Sportcats, I will let Chris chime in on the specifics.

Yes, I am aware lol. It's the ONLY photo I have of a stock system next to our headers ( our headers are very similar for all the air cooled cars) so I thought you guys could use your imagination for what it would look like next to a 3.2 factory set up. For those who don't know that factory exhaust is off a 964. The headers still work along the same principal as the 911 3.0 and 3.2 stuff as you will still be eliminating the Cat on your car which is in the same location as the 964 set.
