I do believe Lee actually removed this setup because of the noise it created. Although very race like it was also too much to bare when driving around town or inhabited places. Lee and I were actually supposed to be accomplishing some type of similar experiment with my 987S. His username is: Leland Pate

As for the noise, I have very understanding neighbours, they've had to be, as I have owned a few very loud Porsches in the past!!!!

Youtube has some sort of glitch where I always get emails (about that video) and when I hit reply I get an error message. I finally gave up and just quit trying.
I miss that car.

Personally, I don't like any of them. The "natural" original sound of virtually any 911 air cooled engine is unique as it came from the factory. It seems to be a cross between a dieseling sound, and a high pitched wail. It is unmistakable from even a half mile away.
My wife knows when I've entered our neighborhood long before I arrive home.
These sounds are simliar to an American V8 with a radical cam. Sort of a lumpy idle. It doesn't sound like a Porsche at all.

My car is a 1990 so no probs with not having a cat. I'm not sure the people that do the test at my nearest MOT station have a clue what mine is supposed to read anyway!!!!!
Shopping list so far is; 1) Pair of 993 heat exchangers
2)Pair of stock mufflers( i will LPMM them )
3)A lot of tubing to fabricate the heater ducts!
4)Some brackets to hold mufflers in place
5)2 tail pipes, one stealth, one standard
Does anyone think I have missed anything????

Hi
I fitted Carnewall 100 cell cat inserts to an otherwise standard exhaust, and it is quite a lot louder and harder edge sounding. Also if you leave the undertray off it makes a difference. My neighbour complained the other day when I left the car idling for 10 minutes. She lives 2 houses away and said she could not hear her radio in her kitchen.
