trying to decide what to do..I dont really want to spend about 3k for the tubi.
Really want more sound..Does the Gundo hack set any lights off?
thanks,Joey

 

Gundo. No brainer. It sounds so good. I often get asked by many Porsche techs what exhaust setup I have. Nothing aside from X51 headers and Gundo. Coincidentally, I was happening to read the latest isue of 'Total 911' and there was an article about the Gundo hack being a near identical sound to the PSE. In the end, if you really don't like it, it would have cost you a couple hundred bucks tops. I was ready to go Tubi and now that desire has been completely removed.

 

There's a guy in the parts marketplace with a couple used systems for sale. IIRC, one of them is a Tubi.

 

The Gundo sounds great. The only advantage would be to save weight. If you have $5-8k burning a hole in your pocket then go for the full exhaust and headers for major weight savings and performance.

 

Can anyone who has the knowledge please describe the difference, if there is one, between Gundo and Fister?

 

Fister is in the business of doing the Gundo hack.
From I've seen here in the pictures, the do a nice job. It appears they're set up to do the necessary cuts, and the welds are clean.
I haven't personally seen their work-just pics here.

 

Thank you... I thought that was the case.

 

Tubi sounds more raspy with a little more burble backfires on de-acelleration. The Gundo sounds really good too and is far less money than Tubi.

 

I did Gundo and it wasn't quite enough. Replaced the center with sharkwerks bypass and perfection.

 

Love the Tubi..........you get what you pay for!! That's always what I've found in life. If it's cheaper it's .......................

I love the TUBI .. The "gurgle" alone is of value.. The G-hack is an excellent option without the added value of tuning..

 

does anyone one know a place in Raleigh/Durham to do the Gundo?
I do recall a thread and someone had just done it in this area..thanks

 

I had the FD (fister mod) done to my 997.2 and Darin was an awesome guy to meet in person. He uses 1.75" stainless pipes with a very clean wield job. The sound especially at cold start is awesome and not loud, Not bothering the neighborhood at all- yet adds a very deep note observed at 3k+ rpm IMO.

I've ordered the Sharkwerks bypass and going to have this added for even more sound as well. I didn't want to go with changing the side mufflers as I was looking at Fvd, tubi, cargraphics and the sounds were too loud for my taste.

 

TUBI, if you can swing it. Tuned, raspy, great burrraaappp when you put your foot into it!!!

 

In almost all cases, I'd agree with you. But for this particular modification, we are talking about a factory Porsche part that's simply had a very small and not complicated enhancement. For a tenth of the cost of a Tubi system, this is an excellent value.
