Now that's an old pic!

I've attached a pic of the catalyst that we use. It's a US sourced 300 cell high flow cat, perfect for daily driven cars even at high power levels - not for track use though.

Yes. I have the sport cat (and bypass) and the cat quiets it down compared to bypass - sounds great.

The Sport Catalytic Converter will lower overall volume and cut down on rasp. Sending you a PM now!

We've increased staff in the fabrication shop and we're working on increasing inventory - anyone interested in any exhaust components? -Mike in Marketing

I'm not sure if it's in your business plan but one thing I'd look for is 951 exhaust pieces/components in stainless. For me, shipping cost is prohibitive for a complete exhaust and I would like to do V-bands. If I could buy CNC mandrel bend pieces in stainless that would still allow me to finish fab and tig welding to my spec I would jump all over it.

Your products are beautiful pieces, it's a shame for one to cut it up to facilitate 16v and V-bands. With respect to incremental sales, I don't think selling components would canibalize your complete system sales as there are people that are not able to finish the systems on their own and need an off the shelf option; it may provide opportunities to sell to a whole new market too.

^+1

V-Bands as an option to the bolted flanges for the Turbo downpipe would be a nice option.

Offering an offset muffler with the 'S' curve outlet to accommodate the 968 Turbo conversion crowd would be great.

Putting an optional WG dump feature with a corresponding blank off to seal the system would appeal to some I'm sure.

So true. I've had the complete system w/o the downtube (not offered when I purchased) for more than 10 years and it still looks and sounds great

We're a full fabrication shop - we can build whatever you like.

-Anyone is welcome to bring their Porsche in for a custom exhaust.
-We can produce our components minus the flanges to allow you to complete it to 100% match and fit your vehicle with your choice of turbo and flanges.
-Going external wastegate? We can eliminate the wastegate dump section completely. If you need a cap for an existing one, also possible.

Here's a custom exhaust we built for a fellow Performance Specialist here - he likes it loud.
