Pops, you need to peel off that M+S tire warning sticker. Tacky!

I prefer for my P!G to be nothing but tacky.

Had the seats wrapped in 3M film, btw.

I have a RUF Dakara conversion which includes a sport exhaust sans pre-cats. It sounds AMAZING! My biggest compliment to date has been a Gallardo owner who was behind me heading up a go-fast country mountain (Mt. Palomar) road ... he said it was heaven listening to my exhaust, manually hammering the tiptronic. He said it sounded euphoric.

There is no in-cabin resonance at all. At idle, if you close your eyes and stand between the two exhaust tips, it sounds like an old wooden Chris Craft gurgling in Lake Tahoe.

Here's a youtube vid which you can hear the exhaust when the engine was cold, and then at low idle.


I know RUF sells a system for the 955/957 ... not sure on your new Pig. You can ask.

Have to admit that I prefer the sound from the factory sports system on my '09 GTS, how that relates to this thread though I have no idea.

Hey Norman,

I think I've seen your vid before. It does sound amazing and maybe I'll look into it, since this CTT is painfully quiet
