I'm not interested in hearing about price analysis and how it can not be any good because of the low price. It is obviously made in China and does not carry any Porsche tax. Based on the material needed to make this exhaust the price is just within the normal range.

I have personally had everything from a terribly drony first generation Fabspeed in 2002 all the way to a Europipe (currently installed) on my 996 Turbos.

Does it fit?

Does it drone?

Does it sound like a x-over exhaust. EG: Kline?

Do you have a sound clip?

Thank you.

I’ve seen those too, I also wondered the same as you about how good or bad they are.
its almost worth buying just to see it if does anything, it’s got to be at least as good as the stock system.
on sound that’s a question one would only know after buying.

From what I know those sound like the agency power 996 tt exhaust super drony.

Interested too in people who have this. I’m not opposed to spending money on something worth it but there’s a lot of hype around exhausts.

I'd like to know what they photoshopped (poorly) out of the pictures. Look right in the middle where the crossover section is... just below it.

If you have an Alibaba account, you can see the offering. I think the minimum quantity is 10, but I recall the unit price was in the $500 range. Not to say anything about the quality, it's just that this is what we call a "white label" product sold in the US under quite a few brand names.

The bad thing about this design is the necked down piping after or during the first set of mufflers.

did we see your car is forsale? If so why selling, you’ve been doing some nice upgrades.

Good review on YouTube about a Becker exhaust. Owner seemed happy for the cost.

I have this on my car. As Kevin pointed out the tubing does step down... Here's the e-mail I sent to Kevin describing the e-mail when I was discussing getting a tune from him.

The only poor construction I've found on the exhaust is where the tubing meets the flanges and a bit of alignment. Welds look fantastic. A little clean-up work was required with a torch and hammer to get the flanges smooth. A grinder would also be a decent approach. After heating the metal, it easily formed to the edge of the flange. Bolting the exhaust on wasn't too bad and everything lined up fine with enough play in the tips to get them lined up in the bumper cover (I believe mine hang a little low due to worn engine mounts, we'll see upon replacement). The bands to clamp the exhaust to the hangers behind them could be a little higher quality. I'm going to end up tying the two bands together with stainless wire to keep them from slipping to the outside.



The O.D. on the piping coming out of the turbo, through the first "chamber" and into the second "chamber" is approx 76.6mm and then coming out of the second "chamber" all the way through the x-pipe and to the third "chamber" and exiting the exhaust is 64mm. At no point is any of the tubing any less than 64mm.



I had it out quite a bit this weekend... notes:

• CEL is on even with a 90* adapter on the downstream 02.
• Drone at highway speeds is noticeable but quiet and not overwhelming.
• Upon application of throttle... there is quite a bit of sound. Loud and racey sounding. Not a quiet exhaust but very little drone. I'm a happy customer.

Thank you for the information.

Is there any way you could take some cell phone videos from inside the cabin while driving?

How is the drone between 2,500 and 3,000 RPM? Usually around 2,700 cheap exhausts have drone.

Volume must be pretty loud since there are no cats and barely any muffling.

A video of the exhaust will do nothing for you to gauge how loud it may be inside the car. You really have to hear in person. Drone isn't relegated to cheap exhausts. My exhaust was expensive and drones too. It's the nature of the beast unfortunately.

what kind/quality of cats could it have?
