I had the RUF now , I've got an offer for changing my RUF for Sportec + $500.

Trying to decide if it worth to do it?

WOW..First time I've heard the RUF...Does it really scream that loud as in Jack's movies?

Also...what is that "high pitch" scream right when the clip starts? Is that the wastegate?

Thanks,
Chris

Chris, I can attest to the Ruf scream. Jacks exhaust sounds awsome. It is very intoxicating! I have not heard any other exhaust with that pitch! It has shades of F1. Gave me goosebumps!

Have you heard a Ferrari F355? About the only car I've ever seen that sounds as good from inside the car as outside.

Hey guys, sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I was curious as to where you all would have sourced your Sportec from? I have a friend with a 996TT who is modifying his exhaust through our local Porsche shop -- Pitstop Motorsports in Alexandria, VA -- and he's interested in getting a competitive price on the Sportec exhaust. NA1-T did you have a source for the Sportec exhaust?

Thanks,

John
