Gundo Hack


I have to laugh as I cycle down this road many times, spring summer fall, and never see a vehicle. But this day, that orange truck went up and down 3 times while I did this and probably another 5 cars in addition to the ones in the video....go figure

This is the first I read the Fister is loud but I'm not questioning that. It's easy to see why the PSE would be quieter(as in exhaust is still routed into the muffler). Based on feedback though, the Fister method has been positive for all size bypasses.
Watch this, good video for fister mod (996) gives you info on the pipe used too I think.

That's a good recording, sounds great not tinny at all. Good that no one stole your camera while you were gone.....lol

From what I gather so far, Fister uses a 1 1/2"/ 1 3/4" on the bypass.

Initially I thought your exhaust is pretty quiet then the other cars went by. The 997.2 have a different tone than 997.1.

"retard", I haven't heard that word in a while.

My guess is it's quieter than Fister since it's using the PSE port. We will see shortly and I'll try and get a sound clip. Lots of rain here so it will be a while.

Kills mid range torque... Combo is called a Gunster.

Not suprised one bit. When I pulled my mufflers and replaced then with bypass pipe the drop in mid range torque was instantly noticable. Since this hack is almost as free flowing a the bypass pipes, the negative resultz should be about the same.

Super Gundo.. Gunster...bypass with PSE basically. To answer OP's orginal question, increase in db when on it and no drone. Quite happy with it after my short test drive.

Video clip below;

https://youtu.be/bt0-AaPcA4g

Loss in torque not evident. Perhaps a longer drive? At the same time, this is just like the PSE exhaust but with the bypass. In my case, it's a small 1.5" bypass. In thread below, this was discussed and they showed a dyno run to show an example of how back pressure impacts power curve

I just wanted to let you guys know I spoke with Mike McCarthy and he confirmed he does indeed still make these and can sell and install them at Pfaff Porsche. Mike is a great tech, a great manager, and a super cool guy. I get so many compliments on my exhaust and I love it!
Good piece on Mike http://www.pfaffauto.com/2015/04/08/...er-black-belt/

You can also get *any* of these hack's done by Tech Tune on Chauncey Ave and save a lot of money.
