The sound of your exhaust might be my personal favorite. I also like how light-weight it appears to be.
Raj, I can always get a clip of Damian's car later and re-edit the movie for 5 exhaust systems. Plus people on the other forum are bitching about the sound quality so I'll redo w/ my good external mic someday.

The problem is certain frequencies and sound levels get clipped when using cheaper mics and when the sound level on the mics is to high and when mics are to close, etc.. So you really can't get the true sound of a systems highs and lows when you have a cheaper mic and you have clipping occuring. One system might sound tinny in the video but in real life it has a nice low sound.

Very nice compilation! If you re-edit and your footage allows, add a few seconds of idle for each, it's an interesting comparison point.
This video also shows how quick the shifts must be in order to be smooth with a LWFW. This could get tiring on daily use.

Chris

Damian, if you're coming to Hershey, perhaps that may be the time to do another set of recordings under the same settings...I think there wil be plenty of 968s there!

The way things are going my car doesn't look like it'll be ready for Hershey, but it won't be a true comparison anyway with headers/head/cams/Greimann airbox mods in addition to the Cargraphic cat and exhaust. My car sounds stock at idle, only when I'm caning it does it get more serious in tone.

Perhaps if you read what was written over there you may have better insight into the context of what was said.
Rather than taking a stab at people and guessing what someones opinion is.

EEZATOY - question for you...
Have you tried that set up on the Dyno yet? I am buying a car with the same RS Barn set up (Cat back, air box mod and chip). Was wondering what additional HP you are getting. Any difference in performance?

Rob,
No dyno's of the upgrades, but seat of the pants - its definitly has more power, a faster response (quicker revving and breathes better) and the sound is deeper more sporty - I would guess that the combination easily add's somewhere in the 15 to 20 hps range and the cat back saves you a good 20+lbs over the stock set up.
All in all its one of my best/favorite mods - though my favorite is still the 944racing short shifter (that they unforunatly don't make anymore) Oh yea and the MDX antenna over the bee sting is nice too.

Wow. Complete difference between an S2 with B&b cat-back and a 968. I love my B&B cat-back to death. I believe it is the best sounding 944/968 exhaust there is. It's very very deep at idle, and isn't nearly as loud (quite possibly half as loud) as that 968 with B&B exhaust.
I'm going to have to say I didn't like any of those exhaust, and the V2 RSBarn sounded like crap (no offense to anyone). I'll try to post a video of my S2's exhaust clip.

Going aftermarket for exhaust is touch and go for people but it will always be cheaper than buying a new exhaust from Sunset.
