Default FVD Exhaust installed, WOW WOW WOW

Finally got time to drop the car off to Matrix Integrated for the exhaust installation. Great shop btw for any Portland, OR members, Jeremy is superb to work with.

shaving 40pounds from the rear and by removing the 2nd mufflers, it free up extra ponies and TQ. The engine seem to REV more freely too, maybe its all in the mind

Starting the car is so much funnier, its got a WAY more aggressive roammmm, not so mute like the stock exhaust.

I tested drove 991s with Sport exhaust before, it sound good, but I feel the FVD got a more aggressive tone then the factory Sport Exhaust at higher rpm range.

in normal mode its about 12-16% louder then stock exhaust

in sport+ mode its about 25-32% louder then stock exhaust

In high rpm the exhaust just scream like a GT3 and release gas, the poping noise, LOVE IT!!!!

The car is pretty dirty now, but will snap some shots after work and post it up

Overall, glad my car didn't have Sport Exhaust options, this exhaust gave my 991s more power + TQ and sound that I LOVE

yes VID to come, just need to find a long road where all the BC cops aren't hiding at

Nope, so far none, I tested it out at different RPM on my drive from PDX to Vancouver BC.

Yes I use Matrix Integrated for my 997.2 C4S upgrades as well. Dropped my car off with them when I moved up to the Seattle area and it come back to me sounding great with a full AWE exhaust. Jeremy is so great to work with I've been back twice for work on my BMW F10 550 as well. For those in the Pacific NW...they are THE shop to go to...very impressed.

Oh yeah love your car BTW. Nice.

Installation was around $295 around 3 hrs total, it was the shops first 991. They didn't want to rush the installation and get it right.
