Pete, I have repaired a RUF exhaust that was on a 996 GT2. I removed all the components similar to what you did with your STOCK exhaust break down. NOTHING changes with the RUF system internally. The twin outlet pipes ARE stock 62 to 63mm diameter. They just dog-leg to get the other four pipe tip. The clamshell is removed. A 200 cell cat replaces the 2 cartridges on the stock system. If you look at one of the pictures that Kerrage posted. You can see the a "inner" tube in the exhaust tip. this is the tru diameter. The outer exhaust tip is a outer sleeve and NOT the actual tubing diameter.
The stock exhaust is restrictive. The RUF system is restritive. It is LESS restrictive than the stock system however>> the internal piping is still 62 to 63mm. If someone want a GREAT system. They need to remove the TWO endcaps from the tuning tubes AND most important, increase the outlet pipe from 62mm to 70 or 75mm!!!
Pete can tell "US" how many hours he spent in cutting apart the stock exhaust>> "X"??
Riddle>> One of the best Porsche aftermarket exhaust manufactures has redesigned the stock exhaust exactly how I have described with GREAT results...

Not every exhaust was built with 100 CPI.
JG, It wouldn't be a riddle if I just wrote the answer. Look at a few exhaust systems and look at how they are laid out.

Guys, I have replaced the front 200 cell cats with 100 cells, drilled out the rear 400 cells completely and removed the pac mans, its good but nothing like a RUF. Next step is to take out the microscopic through pipes shown in the pic above

Richard,
I have a question for you but I can't PM you. Can you email me when you have a minute at newnode@mac.com
Thanks Al
My addition to the thread is that I also have a RUF exhaust currently installed on my blue car and it is top notch. Kevin just wants to help sell speedtech exhausts in addition to his tuning packages so he sticks his nose in everyone's thread to push his personal agenda by knocking everyone else. I've sold and do have a some used exhausts and all I ever hear is nay saying and rhetoric.
Does anyone else agree?

FWIW (and I have no dog in this fight) Kevin is a standup guy. I have a SpeedTech exhaust on mine (which I'm very happy with) and Kevin is not too enthusiastic about it (he actually recommended another exhaust), so your theory is not correct, IMO.

Case and point. Kerrage is trying to sell his RUF exhaust on this thread. Kevin interjects with his opinion on how money would be better spent by anyone looking at this thread with a product from speedtech. That's BS. That's not being a standup guy. Why doesn't he mind his own business?

Where do you see that?
