Default 2006 Base with Glasspacks-regular haters please feel free to crash

Anyone heard of Treg or Base models going a bit crazy with looking into the glasspacks....magnoflow or CHEERRRYYBBOOOMMMBBB?

Still have my 2006 base and was thinking of a final mod and I love the glasspacks on the older air cooled models, just not sure if it will come off as a wet fart sound instead of a burble.

I again use

Bast@rd porsche

Cool little 356 speedster.

V6s aren't known for throaty, mellifluous exhaust tones. The general rule for most any V6 is "Better not heard. Period".

Glasspacks on a six banger? Ok. Then might I also suggest a bag for your head to hide the subsequent shame?

Congrats. That unsolicited snark just erased all consideration of membership. At least my input - sarcasm included - actually addressed the topic

Agreed. The 3.2 is VW in block only and Porche built on top of that including the tuned exhaust. This engine has the classic "Porsche Growl" and even though off the line it has its limitations, the top end is exhilarating...
