I just cant see ANY muffler kit giving more than 1 or 2 HP let alone 23HP on a car this new. The muffler is system is extremely complicated and it takes some serious pHD brain power to get meaningful power out of a muffler for a current Porsche these days.

I agree with you on the power kit, questionable on the 23 hp, but Gemballa is one of the more respected customizers so maybe it is possible. I am also not a big fan of aftermarket do dads for the car, but this is quite nice. The tail is a bit much, but does remind me of the earlier turbos. I forgot to mention that this car is a Gemballa TT, not just a NA car. The exhaust mention was a side note for those of use who can't afford the cost of a custom TT.

Odds are it's an 'offroad' exhaust. Ie, no catalytic converter and a race-spec 'muffler'. Such a system could easily yield 23hp on a high hp application like this...though that does not mean it actually does...

Looks like it's trying too hard in a Nissan Skyline kind of way...overabundance of stuff on a classic design. In this case - more is just more. While some will certainly go for it, resale value of a vehicle modded like this won't be enhanced.
