Sounds like a diesel Kubota tractor to me..... I'm now starting to rethink this and might go 991.1 targa gts..... I have my 997 gt3 for "fun".

I think Kline has something special...

Akrapovic is very nice, titanium produces an amazing tone..
KLine iconnel is amazing as well, these are about a 16 week lead time..Can't wait for them to arrive for one of our customers, going to sound insane!

Huh? That would be a hell of a tractor to sound like that

Interested to hear more on the Kline exhaust when you guys get it in for your customer. It looks well made but there are few videos on this system.. I also noticed that the Kline exhaust(from recent photos) has vacuum actuated valves where the 992 models have electric, not sure how that would work?

Have my Akrapovic scheduled for installation next week. Will let you guys know my thoughts then...

Are you doing cats plus everything else, catback, just the exhaust tips, cats alone, etc?

Do you have PSE?

mdrobc1213

I have PSE on my car. Understand that its mostly electronic control of the valves now thru the PCM and ECU and such but have also heard that not every dealer will do the re-code/activation to non-PSE cars to activate the sport exhaust controls thru the PCM in cars which did not come with it. So was worth the additional $$ spent to also have it on the build sheet as well IMHO. PSE does sound good but I had it on previous cars and my last 991.1S I added an Akrapovic exhaust and it was the business. Was best mod I did for the car and one of the best fitting and sounding ones out there in my opinion. I know sound is subjective but every one I looked at Tubi, Cargraphic, AWE, Fabspeed, Kline, Amytrix, Supersprint, Remus, I just kept coming back to Akrapovic. So this time I also went the same after listening to a few clips.

AM doing just catback and exhaust tips for now. May add Soul Cats eventually but still waiting...hear a few on the forum who are back and forth on them so waiting a bit more. . Will post more details on Thur/Fri after installation.

Tupper

Great, good luck! Would love if you could post a before/after video of the sound here

mdrobc1213

Will do. Overall the Akrapovic does change the character of my car for the better much as it did with my previous 991.1 Carrera S plus Akrapovic exhaust setup. Will upload video clip in a min when I figure out my Youtube.

Just got car back and am very happy with the sound. SA and Service Mgr and even the Business Guy came out to take a listen to the initial startup and agree that sound is deeper, more throatier/fuller and improved over PSE. I agree and the Akrapovic has changed the character of my car for the better much as it did for my 991.1 Akrapovic exhaust install. Cheers

Factory PSE installed

Akrapovic Titanium car back installed.

Link pipes or just catback?

Tupper

Is it exactly this that you had installed?

Their website mentions slip on race pipes, and I’m not a mechanical expert with cars so I can’t tell for sure if this is a catback system or if this includes cats?

Tupper

I actually watched your YouTube videos on my TV with my JBL speakers to really hear the difference properly.

The Akrapovic is clearly an improvement, no doubt.

Just Catback done at this time. Some do Link pipes also for additional sound but I deferred for now.

Yes this is the main exhaust and is cat back slip on. If you look below on the website you can add their Link pipes also if desired for an added cost. Some also add SOUL Cats too or other manufacturers for more sound.
Thanks yes it is subtle to some but it is there and more pronounced if you listen in person especially as internet doesn't always do it justice. Also since I had PSE on previous cars and also Akrapovic on my 991.1 I am familiar with the exhaust and what to look/listen for. Much appreciated.
