Hands down, that’s the best looking exhaust I’ve ever seen. I’m curious to know if there is drone after you install it, Congrats P.

You should see some of the stuff he is doing for Mclaren's! The bad news is I think he is now massively overcommitted and the wait time is long squared...

I have the same unobtainium...in more obtainable stainless.

Very loud and much less drone than my old Kline. Their system works. Sounds pretty exotic. Love it.

Super jealous that you snagged this from the facebook group. I was chomping at the bit when I saw the seller was thinking of selling it. I had a not so great experience with purchasing a UW exhaust system. After 7 months of full payment, constantly getting strung along and no exhaust I finally pulled the plug, but my fix for a UW system is still present lol. Please post a review when you can!

I have first hand experience. I had a 3" Kline system that had very bad drone without cats. With CATs it was better but still had drone...and left me wanting better sound. I switched to an Unobtainium system with no cats (initially) and drone was SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. System is very loud and there is SOME slight drone but not in any way bothersome. Then again, it's not a daily driving exhaust IMO.

I added 200 cell HJS cats and it toned it down a tad. Drone is very, very minimal to non-existent. Their design works.

Hands down I don't know why more MFG's don't copy that design by adding Helmholtz tubes. UW does not have them patented.

Gave her a stable mate...my "wife's" new 2013 981 Boxter S, with only 4,400 miles.

She wanted a Merc SL but I convinced her to go Porsche when I found this crazy low mile time capsule. It simply had to be white with red interior.

Brombacher exhaust, Brombacher tune and BMC filters. Not sure what after market wheels are on it but they're nice.

A pretty amazing find. Damn thing is like a brand new car, for $35k less than it sold new.

I love how it drives/feels and I have officially fallen in love with PDK. This is not your girly-man Boxster of yesteryear, this is a pretty amazing machine.

The 996TT also seems much happier parked next to another Porsche, vs the old BMW 335i.

Now, if I can get get to the garage remodel this summer...

I think one of the reasons why it's been referred to as the "Chickster" is because of who is seen driving them.

Ha ha, yep, fair...I concur. Now people will see a tall, non-girly-man white boy fly by them in one (with his wife yelling at him to slow down).

I'm going to single-handedly destroy the Boxster stereotype here in CA.

An admirable goal. Likely impossible because of the years of inertia, but nonetheless admirable

Likely impossible because of stuff like this. Ugh. (did a google search to my dismay) LOL. Oh well. I guess my wife is driving.

Thanks buddy, yep, for sure. I'm not a convertible fan myself. Top up for me...the wife on the other hand.

I stopped reading it when he referred to the boxter having a rotary engine.
