Hey all
I picked up my '06S over the winter and had been wanting to change the exhaust but wanted something that didn't outright scream all the time as my garage is right below my bedroom and I leave home before my family wakes up every day and I don't want to be "that guy" on my street as we live in an otherwise quiet area.
So after months of looking and listening the Carnewal exhaust seemed to fit the bill but the price, to me at least, was a bit much for a stock-modified exhaust plus I have to ship to and from Canada which is further cost prohibitive.
So I managed to score a set of OEM mufflers from a guy on kijiji for $100 CAD and took them to my shop and threw them at my apprentice and said have fun. I wasn't able to find any confirmed pictures of a Carnewal exhaust as no one understandably cuts open a paid for exhaust for no reason.
So here's what we/he did in the end. Cut the top off, removed the end of the secondary cats completely, gutted the cats, removed 95% of the internal baffles, welded it back up and installed it on the car.




Pictures included of our work. He's admittedly not a welder so save those comments

For $100 and some free time I'm thrilled.

Cannot get the video to link/attach

As explained to me by another RLer, you can't upload videos to RL. You have to upload it to YouTube, then link to it via RL.

Thanks TMc - I think I figured out how to do that!

That sound is reminiscent of the LPMM often done on 993's. There'll be no sneaking out of the house now!

How did you get the cats out? Took it to a local shop and they are having trouble getting the cat out. Now they want to cut on the rounded part further upstream.

That sounds a lot like a Carnewal modded muffler. Maybe just a bit looser/raspier, but hard to tell without more video.

My local shop did one side following the same approach and hard a hard time getting the cats out breaking several cut-off wheels in the process. The other side they cut from the front of the cat and had a much easier time. Put it all back together and it feels quieter! How did that happen?!? Little raspier and lower pitched on the bottom but quieter overall. Only one drive but not the result I was looking for.
