Stage I......16.2 lbs
Stage II.....14 lbs
Stage III....11.6 lbs
RSR...........11 lbs
LW Stg III ...10.2 lbs (heat shield mounts shaved off/ceramic coated)
Stage IIIs are louder and more aggressive.

Thanks. They are very mean and aggressive. I got inspired by the cup cars at Laguna Seca to build a muffler that pushes the envelope a little bit. I am very happy with the results!

PSA: Listen to the sound clip with good speakers!
Darin,
I've been a bit quiet on the 'list lately, but I've been lurking a good bit. Don't know if you remember me either, but you did the "Stage I" to my cans about a year and a half ago while my friend and I sat there breathing down your neck as you exercised your fabrication skills.
I wanted to make it to your shop warming party, but it just didn't work out. I must say that your new shop makes me jealous and want to get a place that has property big enough to do something like what you've done.
A few times, I've listened to the youtube video of your Stage IIIs (mounted to your car, I presume), but my laptop speakers just don't do it justice. Finally tonight, I went to my "big" PC and listened to the video with a proper set of speakers. Good speakers made a world of difference!
Wow! That sounds mean. Really mean.
I may need to think about adding two more Roman Numerals to my exhaust setup. Those got added to the list of things I want to do to the machine, right alongside of a turbo front bumper and eventually a respray.
Anyways, cheers and have a good long weekend.

Todd,
Of course I remember you. You should make a trip up to the shop and hear these bad boys in person. They are pretty wicked! You can also check out the Black Widow Project (MarkD's 993 turbo). We are in the process of having the heads redone, rebuilt turbos, removed the front drive assy (rear wheel drive only). I can't wait to get that thing on the road....it should be fun!
I am going to put together another lunch at the shop after the first of the year, hopefully you can make it this time.
Also, many weekends, I have cars at the shop that Mark and I are working on. Give me a jingle if you feel like taking a little road trip up my way.

I love my RSRs when the car is still cold and in 1st gear. Once the car warms up a bit or I shift out of 1st gear, it becomes tamer. I want the car to sound the way it does "when its cold" all day, I think the stage III does that......any opinions?
