Neat sound but..

how dare you get into a 944 with flipflops on.

I'm going to have to confiscate your vehicle, young man.

Haha. Forget about driving with flipflops, I'd fly with flipflops if they'd let me. When you wear boots all day long, the last thing I want to put on is shoes.

Jesse,

I HAD an SFR exhaust on there. Took it off, sold it. Is a good exhaust but not exactly what I'm looking for right now. Had it for 3 years and it did sound nice.

I have an 89 951S in the garage right now that I am finishing up for a customer - it has a 4" Lindsey STRAIT exhaust with a wastegate pipe that vents to atmosphere - I CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR IT!!!!!!

Car will not start, that's the part that I have to fix for him........

Was it the full system? Why did you take it off?

I tried to get a screencap of your head looking under the car. I could have fallen off my chair looking at that man!

It was the full system, no cat. Got rid of it because it was 3" from header back (had a shop fab up a custom "collector") and that's too big. Normally aspirated. If it was a turbo, I would have stuck with it.

Instead, I'm making my own. Still trying to figure out what muffler to use. Was leaning toward a Supertrapp, but those darn things are too expensive. But the thought of so easily tuning for an auto-x, daily driving, DE, etc., in less then a minute is so enticing...

thats weird. i wonder why it was 3"..... is that normal for a 968 SFR exhaust?

I have a friend with a 944S track car w/ a 968 motor... after so research, he went with a 2.5" exhaust... somewhere mid way between the cat and the muffler he stepped it up to 3" back and saw a gain in power on the dyno.

Here's a shameless plug for my ricer sans exhaust. No making fun of my driving, I had an emergency brake that kept popping up.

Haha I love how you wander out to your front drive in flip flops, kick on the car and drop your head down under there looking at it...

And then I noticed the sun was on the horizon indacting you just revved up your straight pipe 944 right at sunset or more likely at the crack of dawn! LOL
