Yes, a couple guys I went to told me "No can do" w/no cat. I went to another company which is fairly popular in this area, and he used to race 951's. They just made me exit the back of the shop after my exhaust was done, and gave me a document stating that my car was towed in on a trailer, and not intended for road use ha.

 

too cool.....

I tried many approaches with many shops... including trailer in and trailer out and indicate as competition only car.... they all told me to go pound sand.

You should stop by that shop drop to your kness and...... well I'll leave the rest unsaid

 

Thanks for the insight.....my mechanic is looking at a couple different links that I sent him and he's going to decide if it'll be cheaper for him to fab one up or not.

If your looking for a low cost solution and its mainly to be used at the track, you can simply rod out the cat, and cut the muffler out of your stock exhaust and replace it with a straight pipe. My car is a dual purpose club race car and street car. There is enough muffling from the Turbo for it to be OK on the street. I spent money over the years on poorly made mild steel test pipes that fail ,and very expensive B&B mufflers. I ended up rodding out the cat and using a supertrap inline silencer with end plates on for the winter and open for the summer. Now I never bother putting the plates on, ie I run it open pipe. The stock exhausts are extremely well made and fit exactly. They are stainless and never give any trouble. Perhaps I am giving up a couple of HP to a straight through 3" system but I still manage to win races? and it only cost me $100 for a Supertrapp

You can always cut the muffler out of your system and try it to see what you think. You have nothing to lose, and if its too loud you can then spend money on a B&B or equivalent

 

I have been running the Fabspeed 3" straight through exhaust on my 951 trackster for the last several years. Perfect fit, reasonable installation, according to my mechanic. The turbo muffles the noise, so I have passed the noise police at Lime Rock and Mount Tremblant in the past, which I think means less than 90db at 50 feet. With higher boost, above 14.5, a muffler will probably be needed. Fabspeed can tell you more. I run a K26-8
