Not sure what that cost is for the one shown but here is another choice from a group well known for their cage/roll bar building and mandrel bending/welding skills in the 944 Cup community. http://www.hhrproducts.com/porsche-9...-back-exhaust/

That looks cool. It's worthless without sound clips though. I'm going to email them and see if they have some.

I did see that in my search. However, it seems to be fitting of a race, rather than street, car due to the lack of a center resonator. The SS piece also has flanges at all of this connections. I’ll give the US distributor a call...

At 35 lbs. is it really any lighter than stock OEM?
They say they have merged Y pipe and cat pipe for extra $$.

Yogii I'm not sure how much it weights. The sound took some getting used to as it is louder than stock. Has a nice growl to it. I always get complements.

Thanks for the info. Would you consider it too loud or raspy? Of all the crappy videos of exhausts on YouTube it's the best sounding one that I have heard.

Did these guys respond to your request for a video with sound included?

I will weigh the stock one as I have it off the part out car....my guess would be 50-60 pounds for cat back-resonator-muffler combo.

Jerry, I added a B&B cat back pipe and muffler to my ‘95.
I like the sound and there is no real drone.
There is a lot of “bass” tone to the system which seems especially noticeable at lower RPMs. The system doesn’t get substantially louder at high RPMs and the bass tone diminishes.
It’s not at all a raspy sound IMO.

One thing I’ve noticed is that the bass tone has increased and evolved somewhat at around 300-500 miles in.

Hope that helps.

Stock one is 45 lbs weighed it this am(flange behind cat, resonator, muffler, all the way to tail pipe)

These cars get incredibly hot from underneath/tunnel floor board area, I would hope you could put a more efficient cat & exhaust system on and expel the heat quicker out the back where the Porsche cat is probably made of the finest materials and creates a pizza oven underneath the car. Not suggesting you remove your cat or that you would get a performance boost with a more free flowing cat, I would be solely interested in much less heat from under floor boards.

Thanks a lot for the info. I think the stock muffler actually sounds great the problem is I can't hear it.
I may try and jump on a bb system next month.
