Well, I have this de-cat scrap exhaust and I was slightly bored today, so I got my angle grinder and ooops...:

Thanx for posting these. So when one does the hole-in-the-stock-exhaust-pipe mod for achieving a better, throatier sound, does it retard acceleration? How do aftermarket exhausts for the 996TT add HP? I'm not looking for the scientific answer. I'm just vaguely curious.

Interesting, thanks for the pics... amazing how quiet these cars are....

Also in OEM exhaust there's two dense cats ( 400 cpi or more ) each side, and that "Pack-Man" style opening from the aft one is not very big...
I really do not know how for example RUF ( or PBK ) has done their mod, but after opening this one I'd say that the Pack-Men are gone and those partially closed pipe ends are opened.

That's the silencing stuff inside the silencer... There's actually two different styles of that inside. Just around those perforated pipes is an about 5mm thick layer of thread made out of S/S. I guess it's there to keep the actual silencing stuff ( which looks awfully lot like thick mineral insulation wool ) out of contact with exhaust flow and thus not to escape out of the silencer.

Generally if an aftermarket exhaust truly adds HP it does so by allowing the engine to flow more air. The engine is an air pump and the amount of power it can generate depends upon how much air it can pump in a given amount of time.
This requires of course that the stock system be overly restrictive to begin with and that other areas of the engine, the intake system mainly, does not then become the limiting factor. IOWs, a freer flowing exhaust ain't going to help much if the engine can't bring in more air through its intake system.
Sincerely,
Macster.

Turbo motors benefit from as little backpressure as possible... the stock exhaust trades higher backpressure for lower decibels. Aftermarket exhausts do the opposite, for greater responsiveness/spool and output.
The intake side of a well-engineered forced induction motor configuration rarely is a limiting factor, IMHO. At least, no where near as much as the exhaust side.
