It may be different for you guys, but for my 965, no cat & no muffler (we only have one muffleer) is the best combo for power and torque. This has been confirmed by many 964 turbo owners. Noise is subjective, but most of us love the straight-through :-)

Bob, I assume the "power" in "MORE POWER" to mean HP, or were you referring to both HP and torque? Also, are you referring to peak numbers or across the entire rev range? My understanding has been that YES, you would see an increase in *peak* HP and torque while running a completely open exhaust. However, those increases would be realized primarily in the upper rev ranges and that low-end performance may actually decrease. As mentioned above by Wes, this would obviously be no issue for a race car as they are almost never plodding along below 3K RPMs. However, it may be noticable in a road car. I am open to evidence to the contrary, but your reply wasn't quite clear enough.

A bit like a G-pipe, but then longer. Cargraphic sells them and they have a picture on their website.

As I understand it, the Porsche Motorsport cat bypass as used on the cup cars did have some baffling inside, just to provide back pressure. Most aftermarket ones don't, but for example the Dansk one does have something inside.

Geoffrey Ring of Racetek has all the dyno runs and could look up that info for you. I don't believe you lose torque until you substitute a straight pipe for a euro premuffler with all other by passes, and then it results in +3 RWHP and -3rwtg peak #'s 964 m64-01 engine
