I'll PM you. It's not fair to discuss this on Fabspeed's thread.

Not great quality vids, but you will get a sense for what it sounds like full boil. I threw a 997.1 Cup car in there for reference.



A hot lap - the mic is mounted just below the rearview mirror. What it sounds like from the drivers seat essentially. No canbus connection, so no throttle, brake or rpm. Also need to adjust the rear camera a little higher....this was first weekend out in it, still some bugs to work out.
Thanks again for the videos Jacy! Car sounds superb

Are you all wrapping any heat shield material on the pipe section closest to the cats running to the exhaust section??? I see that some others exhausts come with this and others' that have bought other exhausts have had to wrap this section

Jim, as we spoke about today we have found no need on our systems in testing to do so. Temps have all be within reason even after repeated runs on the dyno haha

Thanks - I have to admit - best sounding exhaust, yet, that I have heard on this forum. If I decide to add an exhaust to my headers this is on top of my list and it is a very short one. I think if one is looking for an exhaust with valves this is your best bang for your buck with the best sounding exhaust. I will have to decide if I add an exhaust if I want to go valveless or not.

Thanks Jim, that is very kind of you to say

Don't forget, you can always unhook the vacuum lines and run open 100% of the time

Perks of vacuum operated valves and a true "petrol-head" nature haha

Question - Can you guys make Single-walled 100mm tips in black for the stock muffler. I figured 100 mm is probably the largest we can go but I bet you all could sell a bunch of them. The 991 GT3 came with 89mm tips and another Vendor made 100mm tips and they were awesome. Believe it or not- 100mm is significantly larger than 89mm when you see them next to each other on a car.

Let us know - I am sure others' would be interested, as well

We can have them ceramic coated them in black for you, no problem there

As long as you have our X-Tip design or purchase it with the 100mm tips, they will fit your factory muffler. Take a look at the full build process of the tips on the following thread on Planet 9. Starts on page 5, post #98.

Here are some pictures of the tips on the car (also in the thread above)

I'll use the term STOKED to describe the anticipation I'm feeling
